Property Description
Here is a rare find -- a house for sale on amazing little Regent Square, a tiny one-block street sandwiched between Clark Park and the University of the Sciences in the Spruce Hill neighborhood of University City, West Philly. The charming streetscape of intact 3-story Queen Anne Victorian row houses c.1886, sheltered by a canopy of street trees, looks more like a feel-good movie set than a hot city block. Open front porches provide space for rocking chair time-outs and neighborly conversations over coffee cups or glasses of wine. And in this crazy time, Regent Square is a place where your neighbors have your back. 4225 sits near the middle of the block, its shady porch overlooking a red maple tree and a small front garden. Inside, the first floor living and dining rooms and the stair hall space have been opened up in a contemporary style, and there is an eat-in kitchen with a huge pantry. There is a really long yard out back -- the lot size is 16' x 90'. The 2nd floor has 3 bedrooms with original wide-pine flooring, and a modern tiled bath. The 3rd floor has two more bedrooms with pine floors and a similar tiled bath. The seller recently installed a 96% efficient HVAC system and made other system improvements. The next owner will likely want to design a new kitchen, perhaps opening up the back of the house more directly to the yard. There are so many possibilities. Check out the neighbors' houses for ideas. Regent Square is in the catchment area for the highly-regarded Penn Alexander public grade school, although location does not guarantee admittance. Trolley lines a block away, on Chester and Woodland Aves. provide excellent public transportation; it is about a 13-minute trip to center city, with stops at the campuses of UPenn & Drexel and the 30th St. transportation hub along the way. Local restaurants and shops are on Baltimore Avenue, just two blocks north. Clark Park, at the end of the block, has activities for everyone. MAKE SURE TO SEE THE VIRTUAL TOUR.
