5328 Locust St, Philadelphia, PA 19139

Property Description

Welcome to 5328 Locust Street, this wide and airy West Philly rowhome has it all: cohesive design, original beauty, space to grow with 3 beds, 1.5 baths over 1600sqft, and most importantly, parking. The first floor starts with drama: a herringbone-tiled sunroom with floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors that open into a large straight-through floor plan. Original white pine floors with a cherry inlaid border immediately catch your eye upon entry and continue through the whole house. The living room features white exposed brick and a decorative fireplace, and the dinning room continues the unique details with its original mirrored corner doors -- one to a coat closet and the other down to the finished basement, half bath, and laundry area. The kitchen accents include modern cabinetry, a deep undermount sink, new stove, pantry, and the return of the herringbone tile! Following the original oak stair treads to the 2nd floor, you'll find three bright and spacious bedrooms, each with its own deep closet. The front primary bedroom has a large trio of windows, a brick accent wall, and a large radiator for cats and plants. The middle bedroom connects to the rear bedroom, great for nursery, guest rooms and offices. The hall bathroom features a soaking tub, vaulted ceiling with a skylight, and a linen closet. The finished basement has access to a full-size garage with EV charger and the back alleyway, making the space perfect for storage or even a workshop. The house also has a balcony off the kitchen that combined with the hedge-lined green space in the front makes it a true gardener's or hobbyist's delight! Beyond the house itself is the community feel of the block with tight-knit neighbors, proximity to the Market Frankford Line and Baltimore Ave trolly, neighborhood staples like the Lucien E Blackwell Library, the YMCA, Malcolm X Park, and the 52nd street commercial corridor, which boasts events such as Urban Arts Fest. Come see it for yourself!
