4823 Paschall Ave

Haven't found the right three-bedroom home? This two-bedroom plus den in a great little pocket of West Philly has been thoughtfully and beautifully renovated from top to bottom. High ceilings with recessed lights, great natural light and handsome hand-scraped wood floors run throughout. The open-plan living/dining area with a tucked-away powder room leads to a large, nicely appointed kitchen with white Shaker Jak cabinets, quartz countertops with undermount sink and pulldown faucet, elongated subway tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances including GE dishwasher and microwave and Frigidaire fridge. Out back is the best of both worlds-an extra-large deck for outdoor living with steps down to the good size lawn surrounded by a new privacy fence. These offer a peaceful view for the largest bedroom in the upstairs rear, which has two exposures from three windows. The front bedroom is nicely sized as well and has great southern light. In the middle there's a den that would make a great home office, gaming, yoga or dressing room. Also off the hall are a linen closet and hall bath with oversize storage vanity and undermount sink, large medicine closet and Kohler soaking tub with full-wall veined ceramic subway tile surround. This block of Paschall Ave is super close to Clark Park; local shops and restaurants line nearby Woodland Ave; the 36 and 11 trolley lines are just around the corner; proximity to the Grays Ferry bridge gets you to South Philly in 10 minutes; and outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy the Grays Ferry Crescent Trail Park and Bartram's Garden nearby. We used to call this neighborhood West Philly's best-kept secret, but with all the new development on the block and in the immediate area, that description can be retired.
