5105 Ludlow is a rare 3 bedroom 2 full, 2 half bath home with Central Air and finished basement, that appreciates the value of original Victorian craftsmanship, balanced with amenities catered to modern living. This end unit on a quiet block greets us with a front yard and a wide porch to watch the world go by. The original vestibule establishes the entry fronted by a grand door with a large leaded glass panel . Step inside to the formal foyer and absorb the subtle grandeur. The striking mahoghany staircase, ornate wooden fretwork transom, and original tone of hardwood floors steadied by a baseline of unpainted original baseboard trim. The geometrically inlaid wood panel walls are accompanied by a built in seated bench. The stunning pocket doors are in remarkable condition and continue the cohesion of the leaded glass theme. Light introduces itself throughout this first levels many wide windows. The demarcated open floorplan allow sightlines from front to rear, with the option of compartmentalizing with the pocket doors. To the front is a Victorian parlor, with a vestigal mantle. The combined dining and kitchen area offers a great space to entertain and is bordered with bar style countertop of natural light stone. The kitchen boasts solid cherry wood cabinetry with inlays and crown molding, plenty of storage and preparation space. Stainless steel appliances add style to the utility of the space. In the rear find a discreet half bath for guests. This level concludes with a large deck and fenced yard space with alley access from the front - great for bringing bikes into a secure space. Upstairs, we are welcomed to the sleeping quarters consisting of 1 ensuite bedroom with bath, and two standalone bedrooms that share a full bathroom. The ensuite is designed as a retreat. This large bedroom area is punctuated by a wall of windows to the north, allowing for wonderful light. An adjacent walk in closet and makeup area, adds closet space and retains natural light above. The ensuite bathroom itself is a beautiful treat- double sinks, and a glass enclosed bathing and shower area with floor to ceiling subway tile and a soaking tub. A great oasis. At the lower level find a huge finished basement with a laundry center area. The basement is equipped with a drain and sump pump system, roof was installed in 2020. This West Philly home is close to the Penn and Drexel as well as the hospitals and Center City. Public transportation options are abundant and the Market Frankford Line is little over a block a way. Schedule your showing for this beautiful residence.
