Property Description

Grand old houses in the Powelton Village neighborhood of University City/ West Philly come up for sale only rarely, and even more rare is this opportunity to purchase one with off-street parking! This early Victorian Italianate home has both a garage & a driveway -- plus it’s located in the catchment area for the highly-regarded Powel Elementary School alongside Science Leadership Academy Middle School (SLAMS). They’re just 7 blocks away in a 2-year-new building.
Built in 1859, 3417 Hamilton St is a 3740 s.f., 6BR, 2.5 bath twin featuring original woodwork and marble mantles, wood flooring, deep bay windows, and front & rear staircases. There’s a large, classic eat-in kitchen; 2 of the baths are recent, and the heating system is 96.1% high-efficiency. A spare bath and several rooms, currently workshop or storage space, await a new owner’s updates.
Outdoors, in addition to the driveway & garage, the 3414 s.f. lot includes an enclosed brick patio, side brick pathway, and raised front yard with flower beds. The open front porch overlooks a lovely tree-lined residential block with brick sidewalks, front gardens and hairpin fences -- all defining features of the Powelton Village Philadelphia Register Historic District. Powelton Village’s “main street,” Lancaster Ave., is 5 blocks south. Drexel University, the U.C. Science Center and the University of Pennsylvania are also close by.
