for $475,000 with 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, 1 half bath. This 1,500 square foot townhouse was built in 1920 on a lot size of 0.04.
Tucked on a quiet, tree-lined University City block, 4942 Sansom St has been meticulously renovated down to the studs, offering luxury finishes, high-end craftsmanship, a spacious modern layout, and the rare convenience of a private garage in one standout home. This move-in ready gem offers 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a finished basement with bonus guest room, dual-zone central A/C, and more than 2,000 sq ft of living space. The property makes a welcoming first impression with its classic brick exterior, peaked facade, raised entry, and charming front patio, perfect for morning coffee or catching up with neighbors. Inside, luxury wide-plank floors, a calming neutral palette, and sleek black wrought-iron railings give the open and airy main level a clean, contemporary feel. A sunlit front room wrapped in windows provides a perfect setting for a sitting area or home office, while the spacious living and dining areas offer plenty of room for relaxing, entertaining, and gathering around the table. At the rear, the kitchen brings personality beyond the typical builder-grade renovation, featuring two-tone blue and white shaker cabinetry, quartz counters, wood and brass hardware, stainless steel appliances, a herringbone tile backsplash, and a large peninsula with seating. A powder room sits just off the pantry, which can also function as a mudroom and provides access to the rear balcony and driveway. Upstairs, the primary suite features a walk-in closet and a modern yet classic ensuite bathroom boasting a double wood vanity, oversized glass-enclosed shower, marble-look tile, and contrasting black and brass details. Two more bright bedrooms and another sleek full bathroom complete the upper level. Downstairs, the finished basement adds even more flexibility for a media room, gym, playroom, guest area, or home office, with a spacious den featuring a private entrance and full bathroom that provides an easy opportunity to create a private fourth bedroom or an ideal guest/in-law/au pair suite. Laundry, storage, and access to the garage complete this level. Utilities include central A/C, gas heat, and a gas tankless water heater. In addition to everything inside, this fantastic location earns a Walk Score of 90, placing restaurants, local shops, and markets just steps away. Theres also easy access to public transit, the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, 30th Street Station, Center City, and Delaware County. Schedule your showing today!
