5135 Walton Ave

Utterly adorable, this sunny West Philly porchfront row will capture your heart at every turn. Modestly renovated as a rental property in 2005, it's far from fancy-but it's loaded with irreplaceable details including all original pine flooring and woodwork. The vestibule with original doors, tile and wainscoting opens into the living room with a large leaded glass front window framed by a plaster arch with decorative corbels, a decorative brick fireplace and wood floors that run throughout the home. The large separate dining room provides a first-floor closet and leads to the industrial-inspired ceramic tiled kitchen with original butler's pantry. There's a main-floor laundry room that opens to a covered deck and large back yard. Up the original turned staircase are three bedrooms, a cute hall bath and a small hallway closet. The front bedroom with bay window, two closets and an architectural niche is behind a set of original glass-paned French doors. The rear bedroom has a window seat flanked by original mirrored armoires and connects to the middle bedroom, which is a decent size-not a mere afterthought. The bathroom has a skylight and vintage cast iron corner tub with ceramic tile surround and a bonus storage closet. The sweet Cedar Park block with houses set behind front yards puts the best of Baltimore Ave at your fingertips, and Cedar, Clark and Malcolm X parks are all super close. The sellers just installed a new roof, which comes with a transferable warranty.
