5021 LOCUST STREET, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19139

This sun-drenched, extra-wide twin with a charming porch and handsome facade was impeccably renovated a few short years ago with top-tier finishes throughout. Gleaming wide-plank oak floors, 10-foot ceilings with crown molding and recessed lighting, and ample windows run throughout this airy and spacious home. The open-plan first floor has an expansive stretch of space for living and dining, followed by a chef’s dream of a kitchen and access to the partially finished basement that’s ready to go as a playroom or makerspace. The kitchen has work and storage space galore via 42-inch Shaker-style cabinets, including an enormous pantry, with crown molding; veined quartz countertops and waterfall island with breakfast bar and stylish oversized pendant lighting; extra-wide and deep Kohler undermount sink with pulldown faucet; and a stainless steel Frigidaire Gallery appliance package including convection oven. Upstairs, off a wide hallway with linen closet is an oversized primary suite, two additional ample bedrooms and a well-appointed hall bath. The primary suite is laid out for optimal privacy, with a large closet and en-suite bath at the entrance and the bedroom with two exposures from three windows and more than enough space for a king-size bed tucked behind them. The en suite features a marble-topped double vanity with soft-close drawers and cabinets, full-wall pillow subway tile surround and marble hex tile floors in the step-in shower with glass doors and rainhead faucet. Each of the additional bedrooms is very well sized with good closet space and has its own distinct charm. The front features a tray ceiling and bay window, and the large-enough-for-a-full-bed middle has two windows. The hall bath is equipped with a tub with full-wall elongated subway tile surround and another marble-topped double vanity with soft-close drawers and cabinets. The partially finished basement with multiple windows, drywalled ceiling and painted cement floors is one weekend project away from being able to be used as additional living space, and has SpeedQueen laundry plus a functioning Bilco door for direct access to both the rear patio with privacy fence and the side alley with a gate to the street. This home sits on a lovely, neighborly block in a great Garden Court location–Barkan Park is within a couple blocks, and just beyond that is Malcolm X Park plus neighborhood favorites like Saad’s, Manakeesh, Jezebel’s and Green Line Cafe.
