About 4509 Locust St

Welcome to this amazing opportunity in the Penn Alexander School catchment! With 6 bedrooms and 4 full baths, this humungus University City home has well over 2500 square feet of living space! The first floor is filled with so many of the original ornate details that we all love in a West Philly home including a classic vestibule entrance, green tiled decorative fireplace, stained glass window, and gorgeous woodwork highlighted by the elegant staircase, built in bench seat and crown molding throughout. A large formal dining room and updated kitchen finish off the first floor with access to the very private and rustic backyard oasis. The second floor features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms while the 3rd floor hosts 2 more bedrooms and 2 more full bathrooms. The 6th bedroom is located in the finished attic space. The full unfinished basement offers tons of storage space and is home to the washer and dryer as well as the mechanics of the home. The owners addressed many of the big ticket items when they purchased the house in 2014 including updated electric, pvc waste line, roof, and stucco for the entire side of the building. Take advantage of this amazing opportunity to add your finishing details to this vintage University City classic!
