426 S 44TH Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104

Welcome to boutique condo living in the heart of the Penn Alexander catchment area. Set within an elegant Victorian twin thoughtfully converted in 2016, this spacious home blends the hallmark features of West Philly's classic architecture-gracious proportions, original details, and warm character-with modern updates including newer kitchens, bathrooms, HVAC, and low-maintenance systems.

Unlike newer boxy construction, this building retains its historic charm both inside and out, all in an unbeatable location just half a block from Clark Park and steps from Baltimore Avenue. Unit 1 offers a smart bilevel layout that lives more like a home, without the hefty fees of larger condo buildings.

The main level opens to a wide, airy living/dining/kitchen space featuring hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and original leaded-glass accents. The kitchen is fitted with white Shaker-style soft-close cabinetry, a Frigidaire stainless steel appliance package, granite countertops, and an island with an extra-deep undermount sink and breakfast bar.

The primary bedroom suite sits quietly at the rear of this level with wonderful natural light, generous closets, a niche ideal for a home office, and a private bath featuring a contemporary vanity, ceramic tile flooring, built-in shelving, and a classic white subway-tile shower surround.

The lower level includes two sizeable bedrooms with great closet space, a shared hall bath, a flexible den/media/play area with a laundry closet, and additional storage. Please note: this level has cosmetic damage and is awaiting your personal touches to bring it into tip-top shape.

The upside is undeniable for someone willing to invest a little care and creativity into these spaces. Outside, Unit 1 enjoys exclusive use of a spacious rear patio with a designated garden area-ideal for outdoor dining, pets, container gardening, or raised beds.

This stretch of 44th Street sits in one of West Philly's most vibrant and community-oriented pockets. Clark Park offers a year-round farmers' market, Shakespeare in Clark Park, concerts, picnics, and daily neighborhood gatherings. Nearby Baltimore Avenue is lined with local favorites like Green Line Cafe, Dottie's Donuts, Marigold Kitchen, Abyssinia, Renata's Kitchen, and Vientiane Cafe.

Nearby The Woodlands provides scenic jogging paths, open green space, and one of the city's loveliest tree canopies. Transit is effortless with the 34 trolley just half a block away, multiple bus lines nearby, and bike-friendly streets throughout the neighborhood.

Walk or bike easily to Penn, Drexel, HUP, CHOP, and the VA Hospital. Rich in character, scale, and location, this is a rare opportunity for the right buyer to restore and personalize a truly charming home in one of University City's most sought-after neighborhoods.
