Property Description

MULTIPLE OFFERS RECEIVED!! Offer deadline Monday 4/3/23 at 6PM ! Welcome to 5107 Chester Avenue, also known as Farm 51. This unique character rich 5 Bedroom 2 Bathroom Victorian freestanding south facing structure is more than a home, it is truly a work of art. Lovingly reimagined, the current owners have spent more than a decade cultivating this space from a fallow shell of a building, into a complex organic architectural and horticultural environment that compliments the greater Kingsessing community ecosystem and provides its curators an abundance of space, light, and peace both inside and out. Approaching the homestead, notice the classic porch adorned with stately columns, a beautiful leaded glass window, bordered by multidimensional contrasting brick and a ceiling fan for those summer days sitting in rocking chairs talking to friends. Step inside, the original oversized door to be greeted by a formal vestibule with 5 foot solid wood wall panels. The living room introduces us to the harmony of rustic, classic, and contemporary bohemian eclectic design that is tasteful and pleasing. Regal crown molding complimented by recessed lights and a ceiling fan are sophisticated. The built in window seats are traditional. Notice the wood carved mantle masks above the gas fireplace peering forward. Take a close look at the accent wall leading to the dining room. Although it appears as wallpaper, it is a hand painted mural installation, by best selling illustrator and muralist Maria Beddia. Beautifully aged hardwood floors provide cohesion throughout the residence. Extra-wide bread loaf archways negotiate open concept and defined rooms wonderfully. In the kitchen, a granite topped chef's island with stainless steel gas range allow guest to have a seat and watch the show. Teal cabinetry and pantry systems provide ample storage, while a white washed exposed brick wall completes the first floor with an industrial edge. Two sets of stairs lead to the second level, which has three rooms and a updated bathroom. The front room, typically a parlor or sitting room, has a bright bay window and decorative fireplace with an original pocket door. The third level has two spacious bedrooms, one of which has a very large closet. There is also a four piece bathroom with hexagonal tiles flooring, a standalone clawfoot tub, and rainforest shower with subway tiles. Replacement windows are throughout. The true opportunity of this offering is the outdoor space, and potential to simultaneously also purchase 5105 Chester as well from the current owners all in one. 5107 Chester is on the 13 trolley line route, and across from the Kingsessing recreation Center, which has tennis courts, a swimming pool, a public library, basketball courts and an indoor gym, and is also adjacent to the Media Elwyn Line. This neighborhood is a short commute to Penn, Drexel, Center City, Clark Park, Pennovation, Baltimore Avenue and more!
