4706 Windsor Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19143

Welcome to 4706 Windsor Avenue, the first in a row of well-dressed, turn-of-the-century Queen Anne twins with colorfully painted front porches and carefully manicured gardens set under a canopy of mature trees. A grand, gracious home filled with architectural detail, yet uniquely suited to family living, it offers that unique balance of vibrant city life and the friendliness and belonging of a tight-knit community you've been longing for. The curb appeal is welcoming with a traditional warm brick facade with handsome painted spindle and trim work and a Dutch door. The front porch is wide and inviting and the place you'll most certainly enjoy a cool fall morning chatting with neighbors. A vintage-tiled vestibule opening to a grand foyer with a sweeping staircase and an antique mirror awaits as you step inside. You enter the formal living room, its wood-burning fireplace adorned with a gold-leaf mirror inviting you to have a seat and relax and dream of cozy winter evenings in front of the fire. You admire the soaring plaster ceilings with cavetto curves and the original hardwood floors, details that have been restored using the finest materials while respecting the architectural integrity of the home. An adjoining sitting room perfectly houses a piano, and you imagine gathering around it every holiday, filling the home with music. The heart of the home is the kitchen. Outfitted to create a seamless blend of old and new, it boasts Subzero and Kitchen Aid stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, newer cabinetry, and the original butler's pantry. It is here that you'll enjoy entertaining, hosting, and gathering. You continue to the dining room with its period corner hutches and imagine the room filled with the laughter of family and friends. You conclude that dinner parties will begin with cocktails in the sitting room, move to the dining room and then continue out back to the spacious yard, perfect for fire pits and lounge chairs. On the second floor, you find the primary bedroom adjoined to a cozy library. You are already envisioning most of your time spent in the den with its French doors, rich wood detailing, and brick fireplace. It will be your favorite place to unwind after a long day and a glass of wine on the veranda will be the icing on the cake. This home has all of the space you've been dreaming of and with three additional bedrooms on the 3rd floor, you will have plenty of room for home offices, guests, and rooms for hobbies - finally that art studio you promised yourself! You're an old home purist, so you're thankful for the original tile, thoughtful built-ins, wainscoting, and the clawfoot tub in the hall bathrooms. Mini-split air conditioning units on the 1st and 2nd floors will keep you comfortably cool in the summer and the unfinished basement and attic will allow for plenty of storage. You realize that Cedar Park truly has the best of everything: the natural beauty of both Cedar and Clark Parks, homes spanning centuries of architectural styles, Baltimore Avenue, a vibrant and eclectic streetcar commercial corridor, and easy access to Center City. Mariposa Food Co-op is already your go-to grocery stop, Gold Standard pours your favorite latte, and Booker's shrimp and grits are what brunch dreams are made of. You immediately head to Loco Pez to plan your offer over a Coupe DeVille margarita. This is it.
