About This Home

Welcome to 1523 S 20th Street — an impressive, 16 ft wide fully renovated 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath brick-front home in the heart of Point Breeze. The main level features a bright, sun-filled open living/dining area with beautifully refinished hardwood floors, LED recessed lighting, high ceilings, hand crafted iron railings, and central air. The expansive modern eat-in kitchen is outfitted with granite countertops, glass tiled backsplash, 42” custom wood cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances, and opens directly to a massive private patio—ideal for outdoor entertaining, grilling, or gardening. A stylish half bath on the main level adds extra convenience. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms with ample closet space and a striking hall bath featuring a designer vanity and sleek subway-tiled tub surround. The finished lower level provides versatile space for a home gym, office, or media room, along with a separate laundry area and abundant storage. The basement is outfitted with a French drain and vapor barrier, providing enhanced moisture control. A new roof was installed in December 2024. Located just a few blocks from Two Eagles Cafe, The Pharmacy, Batter & Crumbs Cafe, El Mezcal Cantina, American Sardine Bar, and South Philadelphia Taproom. Easy access to Broad Street and Washington Avenue provides convenient public transit options. With a Walk Score of 87, this home is truly a Walker’s Paradise!
