Charming East Falls Home with Rich History, Modern Updates, and Original Character
3420 W. Coulter Street, Philadelphia, PA
Step into a piece of Philadelphia history with this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in the heart of East Falls. Built in 1949 by legendary builder Jack Kelly for his sister Mary Kelly, this brick residence is nestled on a quiet, tree-lined block and has truly stood the test of time. Original hardwood floors throughout add warmth and character, while beautiful French doors off the living room lead to the private backyard—perfect for morning coffee, summer barbecues, and entertaining friends. Wildlife sightings—from owls and foxes to deer and songbirds—create a rare urban oasis.
The home has been thoughtfully updated for modern living. The kitchen was fully renovated in 2023 with new cabinets, countertops, wall tile, sink, and appliances. The roof was completely replaced in 2017, new hot water heater in 2020, new heating system in 2015, and two zones of A/C. Other recent improvements include a fully re-seeded front lawn, refreshed flower and vegetable beds, small improvements to both full bathrooms on the second level, and the interior has been freshly repainted.
The location is unbeatable. Just a block and a half from the historic Kelly House—childhood home of Grace Kelly, now the Monaco diplomatic mission—you’ll be living among Philadelphia’s storied past. McMichael Park, Wissahickon Park, and the Schuylkill River Trail are within walking distance, along with the Falls of Schuylkill Library, local shops, and restaurants. Commuting is effortless via Ridge Avenue and/or the East Falls commuter rail station, with Suburban and Amtrak station just 20 minutes away.
