Welcome to 5014 Chestnut Street, a spacious and lovingly cared-for home in the charming Walnut Hill neighborhood of University City, Philadelphia, where historic charm and modern updates come together seamlessly. The covered front porch invites you to pause and take in the streetscape, offering the perfect spot for morning coffee or an afternoon reset. Step inside and you’re greeted by timeless character — rich hardwood floors, detailed wood features, and a beautifully restored staircase that serves as the heart of the home, setting a tone that feels warm, soulful, and authentic from the moment you arrive. The main level offers a generous, open layout that flows naturally and effortlessly, designed for real living, real gathering, and real connection. A convenient first-floor half bath adds everyday comfort in all the right ways.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
