About This Home

Just Start Packing and move right into this beautifully maintained, turnkey 4-bedroom, 2-bath, three-story home in the desirable Walnut Hill neighborhood of West Philadelphia. A welcoming front porch sets the tone, offering the perfect place to relax and enjoy a cool afternoon breeze before stepping inside. The bright and inviting living room is filled with natural light and showcases beautiful hardwood flooring that flows seamlessly into the spacious dining room, creating an ideal layout for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a breakfast bar, ceramic tile flooring, pantry closet, and stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator, range, microwave, and dishwasher. Beyond the kitchen, you'll find a convenient first-floor bedroom complete with a walk-in closet, making it ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or a private home office. A full bathroom on the main level adds even more flexibility. The second floor features three generously sized bedrooms, each offering ample closet space. The front bedroom is complemented by an additional walk-in closet just outside the room, while a linen closet and a full hall bathroom complete the level. The finished third floor provides an expansive bonus space with wall-to-wall carpeting and endless possibilities. Whether you envision a home office, fitness studio, media room, playroom, reading retreat, or creative space, this level can easily accommodate your lifestyle. With existing access to plumbing, there's also the potential to convert this space into a private owner's suite by adding an additional bathroom.

Step outside through the rear entrance to enjoy the large, fenced patio—perfect for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing in your own private outdoor space. Conveniently located just minutes from Center City, this home offers excellent access to public transportation and is only a 6-minute drive or approximately a 30-minute walk to the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University.
