Property Description

Charming Victorian Twin in Vibrant West Philadelphia Discover 251 S 46th Street, a c. 1904 Victorian twin on a tree-lined block in Spruce Hill, within the sought-after Alexander Penn catchment. This fantastic home, with 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, blends historic elegance with modern upgrades, ideal for university professionals near the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University.
Exterior & Outdoor Space: This 20x105-foot property features original Pompeiian brick, a second-floor bay window/side bay window, and a mansard roof with a third-floor dormer window. A rebuilt front porch with a roof and foyer welcomes you, while a gated side alley leads to a large back patio, perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
Interior Charm: High ceilings and south-facing windows flood the home with light. Original details, including a living room decorative fireplace, wood doors with glass doorknobs, and a grand staircase, add character. The first floor boasts hardwood oak floors in the spacious living and dining rooms, a half bath, and a modern renovated eat-in kitchen with granite countertops, new cabinets, tile flooring, a breakfast bar, and premium appliances (Samsung oven/microwave, Bosch dishwasher, LG fridge). A water osmosis system ensures pure drinking water. The second floor offers three large bedrooms with finished original wood floors, a renovated full bathroom, and a preserved butler staircase from the kitchen. The third floor has four bedrooms, another renovated full bathroom, and original wood floors. A finished attic provides versatile space for storage or creative use. The attic space is very usable and adds a lot of utility to the home.
Finished Basement & Modern Systems:
The finished basement, with high ceilings, exposed joists, a full updated bathroom, composite wood flooring, and laundry (washer, dryer, utility sink), adds significant usable space. Major system upgrades include 200-amp electrical service/panel with three prong grounded/GFCI outlets/romex throughout the entire home, new PEX plumbing, and 8 mini-split A/C wall mounted units (2 first floor, 3 second floor, 3 third floor). Seven matching ceiling fans enhance comfort. The mini-split system is an ideal system. 8 wall mounted allows custom cooling and can also supplement the heating. Heating system is a hot water boiler/radiator system, the best heat there is. The heating system and mini-split system combination is ideal.
Location and Proximity:
Close to the 46th Street Station (Market-Frankford Line), Baltimore Avenue trolley, and multiple bus routes, this home ensures effortless commutes to Center City, 30th Street Amtrak Station, or beyond. A short walk takes you to the eclectic shops, restaurants, and bars of Baltimore Avenue or the bustling University City district, home to the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University—perfect for academics or students.
Enjoy nearby green spaces like Clark Park, a community hub for festivals and markets, or The Woodlands, a historic estate with tranquil walking paths, both within a 10-minute stroll. West Philly's wide residential streets make driving and parking a breeze, while the area's high Walk Score® and Bike Score® invite car-free exploration of local gems, from cozy coffee shops to vibrant eateries.
