5002 Florence Ave

Property Description

This one is the definition of “potential.” In a great West Philly location just a few blocks off the Baltimore Ave corridor—the 34 trolley, Cedar Park, Dock Street, Wake Up Yoga, Elena’s Soul lounge, Satellite Coffee and the soon-to-relocate/expand Mariposa coop are all just a short walk—this spacious house needs some work but has nice original details and overall good bones. The vestibule entry leads to a large living room with decorative fireplace and unique turned staircase. The large separate dining room also has a decorative mantel as well as a bay window. The kitchen is usable but due for renovation—put your imagination to work. There is an addition leading to a good-size backyard that was once home to a lovely perimeter garden, a great project for green thumbs. Upstairs you’ll find a large front bedroom, spacious rear bedroom with original armoire, recently renovated bathroom, and two smaller middle bedrooms—one with a full set of stairs for roof access!
