5221 HAZEL AVENUE

PHILADELPHIA, PA 19143

This 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom rowhome at 5221 Hazel Ave honors its historic roots while adding timeless upgrades. Fully restored in 2020 and lovingly maintained and upgraded since, this home rejects the "cookie-cutter" approach, opting instead for a bespoke restoration that honors its 1920s roots while adding modern materials and convenience. The traditional "straight-thru" design has been modernized to an open-concept first floor and is flooded with natural light, creating an airy flow from the welcoming covered front porch to the private, fenced-in rear patio. The home features its original pine floors throughout, carefully brought back to life to showcase the warm, deep amber hues and unique grain that only century-old wood can provide. The heart of the home features custom quarter-sawn white oak cabinetry, prized for its beautiful linear grain. These are topped with custom-poured concrete countertops, providing a durable, industrial edge to the classic architecture. Open shelving surrounds the sink to show off your cookbook or vintage Pyrex collections alike. Upstairs you'll find 3 bedrooms and a central main bathroom. The main bedroom features custom built-in closets that maximize storage while maintaining the room's clean, historic lines. The bathroom design ties in the elements of the kitchen with matching cabinetry and counters. The 2020 restoration included updates to all major systems, and the addition of French drainage in the basement keeps the area crisp and dry for laundry and storage needs. Located on a tree lined West Philly block, it is just steps from the green space of Malcolm X Park. Enjoy effortless access to the 34 trolley and the 52/42 bus lines for a quick trip into Center City as well as everything West Philly has to offer. This is a rare opportunity to own a home where every material was chosen with intention and every detail was executed with care.
