The afternoon sun pours into this west-facing 3000 s.f. Victorian Queen Anne twin c. 1892 on tiny Farragut Street, in the Cedar Park neighborhood of University City in West Philadelphia. An estate sale, the house has been in the family for 50+ years. It has retained lovely original details (2 decorative mantles, a leaded glass transom, a gorgeous but not-now-working living room chandelier, pocket doors, the Victorian front & back staircases, a clawfooted tub), though it went through a period of multifamily use many years ago. Deconverted back to single family, it has some odd hallways & closed-off doors for a new owner to reconfigure. The sellers have removed all of the old carpeting so that we can see the original pine floors, which need to be refinished. There's wallpaper to be removed (though the swans in the full first floor bath are pretty amazing...) and plaster to be repaired. And the house definitely needs a new kitchen! A surprise on the second floor, however, is a current, modern, bath. (The family hopes that new owners will appreciate and want the now-replaced bathroom's original pedestal sink, however, now sitting in the kitchen to be viewed.) Upstairs, there are 6 bedrooms and a few additional spaces, plus the newer bath and a "remuddled" one. There's a back porch and a brick back yard with flower bed borders. The basement is very tall and appears to be very dry. The location is within the catchment area for the high-achieving Penn Alexander K-8 public grade school (admittance not guaranteed, but there has been space for all kindergarten applicants for the past few years). And it's just 2 blocks from University City's Baltimore Avenue "main street," with locally-owned restaurants, some humble and some grand, providing food for every taste - Vientiane Cafe (Lao/Thai); Vietnam Cafe (Vietnamese); Gojjo & Dahlak (Ethiopian/Eritrean); Aksum & Renata's Kitchen (Mediterranean); The Gold Standard (comfort food) and others.
