4936 Walton Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19143

Move right in to this gorgeous reclamation of a West Philly rowhome! Your eye will be immediately drawn to the large restored front doors and entryway features, including original glass from the house that makes light dapple and dance into the living area. The next thing you'll notice is the stunning wooden staircase, years of paint painstakingly removed by the owner to reveal its original breathtaking glory! The dining room contains well-appointed built in shelving around a mantel and a working skylight for bonus natural light. The kitchen is open to the dining room and is where you'll see the modern and practical upgrades to the layout-- a large walk-in pantry with storage above, a cupboard above the fridge containing an outlet, under cabinet lighting, well done backsplash and tile work throughout, and lovely, solid cherry wood cabinets. The kitchen window reveals a sweet backyard overlooked by a partially covered porch, making it a perfect place to grill even when it's raining! The upstairs hallway is another stunning component with its scalloped woodwork and reclaimed trim, leading to three bedrooms and a beautifully updated and enlarged bathroom that features both a soaking tub and a spacious shower while maintaining the original feel of the rest of the home with its carefully chosen floor tile and cosmetic details. But the best part of this house is that it also has important upgrades throughout--like a new water heater (2023), a roof that was entirely redone down to the studs when Seller first moved in and then had a new rubber coating applied in 2017, previous to the solar panels being installed! Yes, solar! A partial french drain and sump pump were added to the basement to prevent water instrusion that is so typical to West Philly homes and a bilko door was added for easy front-of-the-house access for storage and a potential future renovation! Plumbing was updated with copper piping, heating and cooling system were installed in 2015, electric is 200 amp service (and again, solar)! A surprising and handy commercial sink is in the basement, perfectly located at the bottom of the stairs for your quick clean up needs while painting or doing projects. A brand new Anderson window in the front of the house, overlooking the porch! Every detail of this amazing home was carefully thought out and executed, making it ideal for the savvy buyer who is seeking both beauty in cosmetic details and major updates already completed-- truly a rare combination when buying a home!
