6433 CHEROKEE ST Philadelphia, PA 19119

Welcome to 6433 Cherokee Street, a 3-story, single-family home with parking, porches, and gardens in beautiful West Mt. Airy! Unique to the area, this center-hall home was built on a corner lot with blonde 'butterball' brick and is believed to be the original farmhouse for the surrounding blocks. Filled with architectural gems, original details, and surrounded with mature gardens, 6433 Cherokee has also been updated and expanded through the years, and is perfectly move-in ready. The front features a covered porch as well as an enclosed porch, and the back features two screened-in porches. The porch off of the kitchen is large enough for a table and chairs for meals and entertaining. The grounds have been fully fenced-in so your furry friends can enjoy the gardens without worry. Warm pine floors on the first and (recently refinished on the) second floors will greet you as you enter through the red oak front door. This first floor features a parlor with oak pocket doors and a gas fireplace, a large formal dining room, recently renovated half bath, and a huge living room with a new Quadrafire pellet stove, beautiful original windows with shutters, and doors to the first screened-in porch. The kitchen, which was expanded in the 60's, has to be one of the largest in the area, and the mid-century, custom cabinetry has been maintained, while modern appliances have been added. An open-design spiral staircase in the kitchen provides an additional access to the second floor. A spacious mudroom/laundry room off the kitchen also provides access to the back gardens, which have mature plantings for every season. The second floor features four of the six bedrooms, two full baths, and a spacious and tranquil sleeping porch. The main bedroom has a brick fireplace, built-in wardrobe storage, and a cedar closet. The third floor with its two bedrooms, full bath, and storage room offers endless possibilities: additional bedrooms, au pair suite, in-law suite, home office, whatever your needs may be! This home has a high efficiency 3-zoned heater, meaning the bills for this nearly 5,000 square foot resemble that of a smaller house. The home's electric was updated years ago, and there is no knob and tube in the house. A new cedar fence has been added with three single gates and a double driveway gate which leads to off-street parking for two cars.
