4731 HAZEL AVE Philadelphia, PA 19143

Contemporary convenience works hand-in-hand with Victorian charm in this sunny 3-story, 6-7 bedroom, 2+1/2 bath twin in the Cedar Park neighborhood of University City, West Philly. Original details c.1900 include a tiled entry vestibule, oak floors with decorative borders, 2 grand fireplaces, beautiful woodwork, and even a bay window seat that opens up for storage. There's a large living room, open to a full-sized dining room with a built-in china cabinet. In addition to the handsome front staircase, the original rear stairs are still in place, providing a quick run down to the kitchen for midnight snacks. And the 2016 kitchen features crisp white cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a custom-built island. A mudroom and a half bath are in the rear of the house, and there's a large back yard. Upstairs, the big front room can be one of 3 bedrooms on the 2nd floor, or it can be a great informal living room or a fabulous work-at-home office. The recent makeover plus expansion of the 2nd floor bath includes both a clawfoot tub for soaking, and a luxury shower. The 3rd floor has 4 more bedrooms and a bath. There's also a full, partially finished, basement. Hazel Avenue is just a couple of blocks north of Baltimore Ave., Cedar Park's "main street" where you'll find interesting local restaurants & shops, and Cedar Park itself. The #34 trolley provides a 15-minute ride to center city, stopping at the campuses of UPenn, Drexel and the 30th St. transportation hub along the way.
