Watch the Virtual Tour, here.

Welcome to 4827 Hazel Avenue, a 2022 recipient of the “Gift to the Streets” award by the University City Historical Society. Completely renovated in 2017, this home, sits comfortably nestled in a row of well-dressed, turn-of-the-century Queen Anne twins with colorfully painted front porches and carefully manicured gardens in the historic Cedar Park neighborhood of West Philadelphia. A grand, gracious home filled with architectural detail and strong bones, this home offers that unique balance of vibrant city life and the friendliness of a tight-knit community. This home also has a partial tax abatement remaining through December 2027.

This home is a treasure trove of historic charm mixed with modern details. Intricate woodwork, original hardwood floors, stained and leaded glass and period-specific details are juxtaposed with recessed lighting, new mechanicals and modern fixtures.

The curb appeal is welcoming with a traditional warm brick facade with handsome painted spindle and trim work fully restored to its original character by the owners. The front porch is wide and inviting and the place you’ll enjoy coffee on a cool summer morning chatting with neighbors.

This home has all of the space you’ve been dreaming of. From the moment you step inside, you’ll be transported back in time to an era of craftsmanship and elegance. Enter into a vintage-tiled vestibule which opens to a grand living room with a sweeping staircase, soaring ceilings, original hardwood floors and a decorative mantel. The open dining area is warm and spacious and begs for a dinner party. The kitchen is the heart of the home and this chef’s kitchen does not disappoint. Honed countertops are accented with a delicate sea glass subway tile backsplash. Custom 42” soft white Shaker cabinets, and stainless steel appliances surround a large island, perfect for food preparation and the ultimate gathering spot for friends and family. A half-bath and laundry room with plenty of storage are tucked behind the kitchen.

A back door leads to a private backyard retreat complete with grass and pavers, the perfect place for entertaining and dining al fresco. An entertainer’s dream both inside and out.

The basement offers a true 4th floor of additional living and is perfect for a den, playroom, gym or home office. The remaining unfinished portion of the basement includes ample storage space, including built-in overhead racks and several metal shelving units.

On the second floor, find a large bedroom with bay windows, a beautifully outfitted hall bath with subway tile and the sun-soaked primary suite boasting thoughtful details that have been blended effortlessly with modern comforts, creating a truly inspirational sanctuary. The large primary bedroom includes a spa-like en-suite bath with marble double vanities and an oversized glass-enclosed shower with dual shower head.

On the third floor, find a spacious sunny family room – perfect for relaxing and watching movies, two additional bedrooms and another beautiful full bathroom.

The best part might just be the block and neighborhood itself. The 4800 block of Hazel is a vibrant and diverse community with neighbors – both old and new – that know your first name, have kids coming out to play on the sidewalk for impromptu playdates, and host block parties.

Cedar Park truly has the best of everything: the natural beauty of both Malcolm X 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 and ReAnimator Coffee pour your favorite latte and Booker’s shrimp and grits are what brunch dreams are made of. With three years remaining on a partial tax abatement, 4827 Hazel Avenue offers the best in stylish, modern living in a neighborhood rich in history and amenities. Welcome home.
