On a fantastic block within the Henry C. Lea (K-8) School catchment area*, this University City/ Cedar Park/ Garden Court/ West Philly twin is loaded with c.1900 post-Victorian details: sparkling leaded glass, original woodwork, two fireplace mantles, a built-in china closet, a handsome front staircase ? and a back staircase, too. There?s even a third floor turret! The roomy 2700 s.f. floor plan includes 6 bedrooms and 2+1/2 baths, in addition to the first floor vestibule, living room, stair hall, dining room and kitchen. Outside, the handsome stone front fa?ade is capped by a mansard roof, and the open front porch and all of the ornate wood trim is beautfully maintained. There?s a good-sized fenced rear yard, too. The Cedar Park/ Garden Court location, just 2 blocks north of Baltimore Ave., the area?s ?main street,? couldn?t be better. Catch the #34 trolley on Baltimore and arrive in center city in 15 minutes with stops along the way at UPenn, Drexel, and the 30th St. train hub. Or stay in West Philly and dine at one of the small local restaurants along the Avenue; or visit Clark Park or Cedar Park, each only a few blocks away. *More about the Henry C. Lea School: the University of Pennsylvania recently formalized its relationship with Lea, which will bring new resources and strengths to Lea over the next five years. Lea?s small catchment area includes this block of Cedar Ave.
