AVAILABLE NOW! Showings can be scheduled starting on May 21s. Welcome to one of South Philly's most sought-after pockets - right at the edge of East Passyunk, steps from Dickinson Square Park and everything Passyunk Avenue has to offer: world-class restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and a neighborhood that actually has a pulse. The house itself has been thoughtfully updated without losing its South Philly character. Hardwood floors run throughout, the walls are freshly painted, and the electric fireplace gives the living room real ambiance - plus a backup heat source when winter hits and you don't want to run the furnace. Speaking of which: this house has forced-air heating and cooling, which is genuinely rare for a rowhouse built in the early 1900s. Most of your neighbors are still dealing with radiators. You won't be. Ceiling fans in every bedroom and two in the living room keep the summer bills manageable, and with new windows throughout, the house is properly sealed - no drafts and no noise bleed. The layout works for real life. The main-floor powder room means guests never need to climb to the second floor or share your bathroom. Upstairs you'll find a linen closet for actual storage - also not a given in rowhouses this age. The partially finished basement is watertight, houses the in-unit washer/dryer, and gives you meaningful storage space without a storage unit bill. New siding on the back of the house keeps everything sealed and dry. South facing, the house gets beautiful daylight from morning to sunset.
