About This Home
Charming & Move-In Ready Home in the East Passyunk Location
Step inside this beautifully updated South Philadelphia row home and feel the warmth of modern comfort blended with classic charm. This home has been thoughtfully upgraded throughout, offering a move-in ready experience for its next owner.
On the first floor, brand-new hardwood floors create an inviting flow from the living room to the dining area, while the restored staircase and original Tofanni door pay homage to the home’s character. The freshly painted front and kitchen cabinets add a crisp, welcoming feel, complemented by newer appliances and a new kitchen faucet.
Upstairs, enjoy brand-new carpeting, new windows in the bedrooms, and updated sheet-rocked walls in one of the bedrooms for a clean, polished finish. The bathroom features a regulated tub, a new vanity, and a new medicine cabinet, bringing modern convenience to your daily routine.
Other key upgrades include:
New radiator covers and a brand-new furnace for efficient heating
New ceiling fans all throughout for added comfort
Roof coating for peace of mind
New closet doors for easy storage
