This right-sized home with a nice balance of old and new is on a lovely little Cedar Park block lined with some of the prettiest gardens in the neighborhood; houses on only one side makes for quiet, privacy and plenty of parking. Set behind the front garden with a rain barrel is the enclosed porch entrance with an extra-large coat closet. The high ceilings and original woodwork and pine floors that run through most of the home greet you in the open-plan main floor, where there’s ample space for dedicated living and dining areas on either side of the charming original turned staircase. The large rear kitchen has two windows and a super functional L-shaped layout with ample storage and workspace via maple cabinets and granite countertops, including a sweet coffee station, ceramic tile floors, Samsung five-burner range with griddle and LG stainless steel bottom-freezer fridge. From here you can access both the low-maintenance rear brick patio with custom privacy fence and the basement, which is finished with drywall and a cool epoxy floor. With a separate laundry area, enclosed mechanical closets and a half bath, there’s plenty of space for a den, playroom or other additional living space. Upstairs are three bedrooms: The largest in the front has a triple window with lovely western exposure and a full wall of closets with additional overhead storage; the rear has two windows and a good-size closet, also with overhead storage; and the middle is a true bedroom, with plenty of room for a bed and dresser. The ceramic tile hall bath has the original cast iron corner tub, a storage vanity and a large casement window with privacy glass. The new owners will take comfort from all the big-ticket updates that were already done here, including Andersen replacement windows, new wiring and central air. This sweet block of 50th St is in an ideal location close to the shopping, dining, green space and public transit that make Cedar Park one of West Philly’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
