Property Description
Inside, original hardwood floors run throughout, warm and worn in the best possible way. Gather around the decorative tiled fireplace, where a hand-painted surround and ornate cast iron insert anchor the living space with quiet elegance. And don't miss the leaded glass fanlight window, a sunburst of original artistry that brings in the light with character you just don't find too often. The large dining room is spacious for breaking out the extra leaves of the table for extended family gatherings. The kitchen is modern with ample storage, thanks to the original built-in pantry. The first floor finishes off with convenient laundry and a half bathroom. From there, you exit out to the new composite deck, installed in 2023, and out to an open off-street parking area.
Upstairs, the main bedroom features a stunning built-in oak wardrobe with hand-carved scrollwork and a center mirror, the kind of craftsmanship you simply cannot replicate today. The bathroom features a double sink with ample counter space, and two spacious bedrooms complete the rest of the floor.
But this home doesn't ask you to sacrifice comfort for charm.
Major updates have been done thoughtfully and completely to give you peace of mind: all-new electrical installed in 2023, new mini-split systems for efficient year-round heating and cooling, also installed in 2023 with a transferable service contract and warranty. Concerned about sewer lines, especially close to trolley lines? Fear not, a new sewer line was installed to the street, as well as a new waste line. Efficiency-wise, many windows have been replaced throughout. One item to note is that although the home runs beautifully on electric, there is an existing gas hookup for the chef who prefers to cook with flame.
Location-wise, you're just steps from the Girard Trolley line and major bus routes, keeping you connected to the city without sacrificing the peace of a residential block.
Bright. Spacious. Irreplaceable. Modern. Classic.
649 N. 53rd isn't just a home, it's a piece of Philadelphia's story, ready for its next chapter.
