Presenting 5444 Quentin Street, an updated AirLite!
Airlites are as Philly as wooder ice, Gritty, and Ben Franklin chasing storms; in 1909, the standard Philly row-house was reworked to bring in more Air & Lite! Just remove the alley and give the house the full width of the lot and split the house in half; the front half is the living room, and the back half is the dining room and kitchen along the side walls. The magic of it all is moving the kitchen to the back sidewall which opens up the whole rear wall for windows or French doors to a deck in this one. Flash forward to the ‘50s; parking was added in the back to keep the front yards open to the community.

5444 Quentin St., constructed in 1951 (No knob & tube!!), has this bright & airy layout with original mid-century details and hardwoods throughout. The updated kitchen is open to the dining room, and the newly built deck is also open. The second floor has three bedrooms—2 large bedrooms that accommodate king beds and a smaller bedroom. The finished front half of the basement is ready to be anything from a man cave, crafting den, or guest suite. The rear of the house has access to the garage as well as additional covered parking under the deck!

The landscaped deep front yard has a private patio and an open area to enjoy your neighbors. Just across the street is an access trail to the Wissahickon Park. You can walk out the door, cross the street, and get lost in the woods inside of Philadelphia. And, when you don’t want the woods, you can hop on Ridge Ave., Henry Ave., or the regional rail to get anywhere else you want to go in a flash.
