5108 Malcolm St

This absolutely adorable end rowhome is right off of Baltimore Ave, making it a no-brainer if you want to live in uber-walkable Cedar Park while keeping your monthly payment at (or below!) what you're currently spending on rent. It's got an open-plan living space with hardwood floors, high ceilings and recessed lighting. The efficiently laid out kitchen has white Shaker-style cabinets; GE stainless steel appliances; and neutral Caesarstone countertops with breakfast bar, undermount sink and pulldown faucet. There's good light from two front windows and one overlooking the rear yard, which is paved for a low-maintenance grilling/dining/container garden situation. At the top of the stairs there's a large hall bath, which is decked out with marble vanity, floors and not just a full-wall surround for the soaking tub, but three full walls of marble. The middle room has a good-sized closet and offers plenty of room for use as a true bedroom or as a spacious home office. Past a hall closet is the primary bedroom, which has two windows with extra-deep sills and a sweet architectural niche. And as a major upgrade from an apartment, you've got laundry and storage galore in the basement. Outside there's curb appeal from the contemporary board and batten siding, one of our favorite murals in all of Philadelphia on the side wall, and an unusual amount of breathing room from neighbors with the city-owned and maintained lots next door and directly across the street. Go from hanging at home to Baltimore Ave for shopping, dining, taking a yoga class or chilling in the park with practically zero transit time from this super-convenient location, or hop on the trolley and be in Center City in 15 minutes.
