Property Description
Beautifully maintained and tastefully updated three (3) story Victorian twin on tree-lined Kingsessing Avenue in University City. This West Philly classic features six (6) bedrooms, three (3) baths, central air, and a cozy back yard. The home underwent a top to bottom renovation in 2008, which opened up the first floor to create a vast living and dining space. Soaring ceilings, and a wide footprint, contribute to the feeling of spacious openness. Light pours down the original staircase from the newly replaced skylight, which was part of the total replacement of the flat roof and mansard roof in 2025 and 2026, and reflects off of the gleaming hardwood floors. The current owners also replaced the porch steps and the basement electrical panel in 2026. The second floor primary suite includes an en suite bathroom and a well-sized closet. The house overall has significant closet space, which is very unusual in houses of this era. There is a hall bath on the second and third floors that serve the other 5 bedrooms. This house abounds with modern convenience, all within a beautiful historical exterior. Just blocks from historic Clark Park and the newly multi-million dollar renovated Kingsessing Rec Center. Enjoy modern amenities as the house has been thoroughly updated throughout. Walkable to Baltimore Avenue restaurants and shops, coffee houses in every direction, and Clark Park. Minutes on foot to UPenn, CHOP, and Drexel, and an easy commute to Center City. A rare opportunity to own a great home on a great block in a great neighborhood. With a Walk Score of 89 and a Bike Score of 94, this home is both a walker's and biker's paradise.
