This right-sized home that has all the updates that count is on a lovely little Cedar Park block lined with some of the prettiest gardens in the neighborhood; houses on only one side makes for quiet, privacy and plenty of parking. Set back behind the front garden and handsomely painted facade is an enclosed porch entrance, which has an oversized original window to the living room that lets in lovely western light. New oak floors, high ceilings and nice details like extra-deep wood window sills under new windows run throughout this level, which is spacious enough to include a first-floor powder room alongside a generous dining area. The rear kitchen offers a great open galley layout, with white veined quartz countertops and island paired with 42-inch Shaker-style soft-close cabinets, and a brand-new GE stainless steel appliance package including a French door fridge and five-burner range. A custom steel handrail runs along the staircase up to the three bedrooms. The large front bedroom has new oak floors, a charming square bay window and two closets flanking a sweet architectural niche. The rear bedroom has a large closet nestled into a bumpout that provides room for a dresser without eating up floor space, and the cutest little second side window. The middle bedroom has plenty of room for a full bed. They each have luxury vinyl flooring and share a hall bath with a large window and crisp white finishes and fixtures including a vanity with good counter space and storage, and a large medicine cabinet with a sleek light bar above. This sweet block of 50th St is in an ideal location close to the shopping, dining, greenspace and public transit that make Cedar Park one of West Philly’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
