Welcome to 5223 Addison Street, a renovated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath brick townhome in West Philadelphia. The approximately 1,140-square-foot home offers a functional straight-through layout with hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, updated windows, and contemporary finishes throughout. The main level features an open living and dining area leading into an updated kitchen equipped with quartz countertops, solid-wood cabinetry with soft-close drawers, stainless-steel appliances, and a half bathroom. The upper level offers three bedrooms and a full bathroom, while the finished basement provides an additional full bathroom; the basement can be used as an office space, recreation area, or storage. An enclosed front porch adds an additional practical extension of the living space. Positioned on a quiet residential block, the property is conveniently located near Malcolm X Park and the Baltimore Avenue commercial corridor, with neighborhood restaurants, cafés, markets, and everyday services nearby. Public transportation is accessible along 52nd Street, with additional SEPTA trolley and bus connections serving the surrounding Cedar Park/West Philadelphia area. The location also provides convenient access to the broader University City area, including the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University, as well as neighborhood destinations along Baltimore Avenue and nearby parks. Clark Park, a nine-acre public park with playgrounds, recreational areas, community events, and farmers' markets, is also within the surrounding University City/Cedar Park area. A renovated home with substantial system updates, flexible finished space, and convenient access to West Philadelphia's established residential and commercial amenities.
Garden Court, located between Baltimore Avenue and Cobbs Creek Park, is a residential and academic-adjacent Philadelphia neighborhood with leafy side streets and classic West Philly porch-front architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Baltimore Ave corridor near 45th Street, where trolley bells, corner groceries, and small cafes set a steady street rhythm. Community touchstones include Dock Street Brewery, Mariposa Food Co-op, and the historic 40th Street Trolley Portal. Twin parkscapes—Clark Park to the east and Cobbs Creek’s trails to the west—frame daily routines with open lawns and wooded edges. Brick twins and early-20th-century rowhomes line the blocks, while the SEPTA Route 34 and 13 trolleys stitch the area into Center City.
