Rare rehab opportunity: this approximately 3147 s.f., 3-story twin house in the Powelton Village neighborhood of University City, West Philly, is available for complete rehabilitation. Despite a conversion to apartments many years ago,* it has retained many c.1869 Victorian details including handsome marble & wooden mantles, interior shutters for bay windows, and original doors, windows, flooring & staircases. A back "garage" structure, in poor condition, is not accessible by car; a new owner may want to remove it to create a larger rear yard. There's structural damage in the back (structural report & detailed seller property disclosure are available) and because Powelton Village was placed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places in 2022, exterior work must comply with the City's preservation requirements.
The location is a leafy, tree-lined, residential Powelton Village block. It's in the catchment area for the Samuel Powel public grade school and Science Leadership Academy Middle School (SLAMS), just six blocks away in an almost-brand-new building. Lancaster Avenue, Powelton Village’s “main street,” is just 4 blocks south. Drexel University, the U.C. Science Center and the University of Pennsylvania are also close by, and public transportation (trolley and subway) will zip riders into center city Philadelphia in under 15 minutes.
