Listing description

Welcome to 5616 Baltimore Avenue, where timeless Philadelphia character meets a thoughtful, design-forward renovation. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home has been brought back to life while preserving the architectural details that give it its soul including original crown molding, rich wainscoting, restored woodwork, the original staircase, and exposed brick. The main level offers a beautiful balance of historic detail and modern living. A convenient new powder room has been added to the first floor, along with a built-in sound system. At the heart of the home is the chef-inspired kitchen, featuring custom cabinetry, generous prep space, a statement range and hood, bridge faucet, pot filler, and elevated finishes designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Heading upstairs, exposed brick and a VELUX skylight bring character and natural light into the hallway. The primary suite continues the home’s distinctive design with exposed brick and private en suite bath featuring its own skylight, custom vanity, wall-mounted faucet and dual shower heads. Two additional bedrooms provide ample closet space, while the beautifully finished hallway bathroom incorporates a conveniently located stack able washer and dryer. The lower level provides substantial storage today while offering exciting possibilities for the future. With an existing egress and generous unfinished space, a future owner can explore creating additional finished living space or an apartment, subject to all required permits and approvals. The property is zoned multifamily, adding another dimension of long-term flexibility and income potential. Major infrastructure was addressed as part of the renovation as well. The home’s old lead water service was removed and replaced with a new water service line extending from the city connection between the Baltimore Avenue trolley tracks into the property. From the preserved mill work and exposed brick to the skylights, chef’s kitchen and carefully selected modern finishes, 5616 Baltimore Avenue is more than a renovation it is a restoration that respects the home’s history while preparing it for its next chapter.
