Property details

About 835 S 49th St

Inside this gorgeous 2754 s.f., 3-story University City corner twin - complete with a tower! - in West Philly's Cedar Park neighborhood, you'll find all of the Victorian details West Philly is known for - natural woodwork, pocket doors, original floors, leaded glass windows, shutters, a pair of built-in china cabinets, lincrusta-type wall coverings, handsome staircases (front & rear), decorative fireplace mantles, clawfoot tubs and lots more. Outside, loving owners have preserved the c.1897 Queen Anne Victorian exterior - no plastic siding or missing porch railings here! The sunny south side of the house has space for raised bed gardening, and there's a small deck and a paved patio out back. The location is just south of Baltimore Avenue, Cedar Park's "main street," known for its eclectic restaurants, bars & shops. Two parks - Cedar Park and Clark Park - are close by. If you want to venture farther, hop on the trolley - the ride to center city takes only 15 minutes, stopping at UPenn, Drexel U and the 30th St. transportation hub along the way.
