Listing description

Welcome to 922 S. 48th Street, a grand Victorian porch-front twin set on an oversized 28’ x 100’ lot in the heart of Cedar Park—where timeless craftsmanship and rich architectural detail take center stage. From the moment you arrive, the deep front garden and expansive porch invite you to slow down and stay awhile. Inside, a beautifully preserved tiled vestibule with original wood doors and leaded glass sets a striking first impression. Beyond it, a double living room unfolds with soaring ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors with inlaid borders, a decorative fireplace, and original sliding pocket doors that create both openness and intimacy. The dining room is a true showpiece, featuring an intricate Lincrusta frieze, a sunlit bay window, and a statement chandelier—an unforgettable setting for gatherings both large and small. The eat-in kitchen blends function and warmth with wood cabinetry, Corian countertops, gas cooktop, double wall ovens, and breakfast bar seating, while a rear covered porch overlooks the deep, landscaped backyard—your own private retreat. Upstairs, the second floor offers flexibility and charm at every turn. The first bedroom connects to an adjoining room—perfect for a nursery, office, or dressing space—while the front parlor stuns with a bay window, built-ins, and a second fireplace. A spacious hall bath with double vanity and walk-in shower completes the level. The third floor continues the home’s generous scale with three additional bedrooms and two full baths, including a standout front bedroom with exposed brick, large closets, and an en-suite bath featuring a classic clawfoot tub. A den and dedicated laundry area add everyday convenience. Throughout the home, historic details shine—from original woodwork and leaded glass to thoughtfully preserved finishes—while modern updates like high-velocity central air, updated electric, solar panels, and newer roofing ensure comfort and efficiency. The restored façade is a testament to the care and pride of ownership. Perfectly positioned near Baltimore Avenue, Clark Park, Mariposa Co-op, and neighborhood favorites, with easy access to Center City, this is a rare opportunity to own a true West Philadelphia classic. Ideally located near Baltimore Avenue, Clark Park, public transit, and favorites Local 44 and Vientiane, with easy access to Center City.
