Listing description

Overflowing with original character and the architectural details that make Cedar Park so distinctive, 923 S St Bernard St is a classic Victorian twin set on a quiet, tree-lined block in one of West Philadelphia’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Spanning three spacious stories, the home is filled with natural light and offers 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a lush private backyard, and a top-floor in-law suite with its own full kitchen, creating an ideal setup for guests, roommates, extended family, or anyone looking for a little extra independence under one roof. Out front, the handsome brick facade and distinctive turret are joined by a wide covered porch, deep setback, and mature landscaping for a warm, established presence. A traditional vestibule welcomes you inside, opening to a large living room that provides a preview of the character found throughout, with gleaming original hardwood floors, intricate wood trim, an exposed brick fireplace, built-in shelving, tall windows, and a beautifully preserved staircase. The adjoining dining room is equally inviting, with generous proportions and a dramatic multi-window bay that adds architectural interest and plenty of natural light. At the rear, the updated kitchen provides a contemporary contrast with glossy two-tone cabinetry, sleek counters, stainless steel appliances, a patterned tile backsplash, and generous workspace and storage. A second rear staircase adds another charming original detail and creates convenient access between levels, while the mudroom/laundry area off the kitchen leads directly to the backyard. Outside, the secluded garden wraps along the side of the home, creating a peaceful setting for dining, gardening, or relaxing outdoors. Upstairs, the second floor includes three well-sized bedrooms, with original details continuing from the main level. The largest is especially memorable, pairing abundant space and a decorative fireplace surround with a sun-filled bay set within the turret, creating a natural spot for a reading nook, sitting area, or dressing space. A full hall bath adds vintage charm with tile wainscoting and a classic clawfoot tub. The third-floor in-law suite feels almost like its own apartment, with a huge living room, second full kitchen, full bathroom, and spacious bedroom, where another bright bay continues the turret feature from the floor below. An expansive unfinished basement provides plenty of additional storage and utility space. The Cedar Park location puts Baltimore Avenue’s restaurants, cafés, shops, and everyday conveniences just a few blocks away, while nearby Clark Park is a true neighborhood gathering place with nine acres of green space, playgrounds, community events, and a popular year-round Saturday farmers market. Nearby trolley and bus stops provide convenient connections throughout West Philadelphia and into University City and Center City, with Regional Rail also accessible at 49th Street Station.
