211 Walnut Street

You will love this beautifully updated and character filled 1920s colonial revival home overlooking a city-maintained greenspace park in the heart of the Overbrook Historic District. As you enter the large foyer, you are greeted with 10-foot ceilings and a beautiful archway leading to a spacious dining room complete with original built in cabinets that harken back to an age of great craftsmanship. The open floorplan kitchen and living room area boasts a modern kitchen including quartz counter tops, a 6-burner gas Thermador cooktop and stainless-steel built-in refrigerator and freezer surrounded by custom cabinetry.

The adjoining living space is bathed in natural light via a full wall of custom windows and doors opening to a beautiful and private brick paver courtyard and Koi Pond water feature. Off the dining room is an office/study with built in cabinetry, desk, and window seat. The downstairs is rounded out with an updated powder room and an extremely private and peaceful screened porch overlooking a grass side yard with a seven zone in-ground sprinkler system.

Upstairs, the large master suite extends the full length of the house and includes a beautiful master bath with travertine marble, heated floors, a freestanding tub, and an amazing custom Kohler digital shower system on one end and private office area and 2nd story deck on the other end. There are 2 additional bedrooms upstairs sharing access to an updated Jack and Jill bath with heated floors. A laundry room with plenty of storage and a deep laundry sink rounds out the upstairs of the main house.

The 4th bedroom and 3rd full bath is located just steps away in a private 1-bedroom guest suite/apartment above the detached garage. This suite has an updated kitchen, living room, bedroom, and updated bathroom with heated floor. This great space can be utilized as a guest room, mother-in-law suite, or as an income producing apartment (currently rented for $850/mo) that is very private from the main house.

Outside the home, there is covered parking for 4 vehicles, and driveway access from both Walnut St and East North St. This home is one mile to Main St. and is walking distance to several restaurants and the next phase of the Swamp Rabbit Trail connecting the neighborhood to both Cleveland Park and ICAR.

The large, historic homes in this neighborhood rarely come on the market so don’t let this opportunity pass you by.
