About This Home
Welcome to this beautifully updated rowhome nestled on a peaceful, tree-lined block in Graduate Hospital — in the heart of the vibrant energy of South Street, yet tucked away enough to enjoy peace and quiet. Enter inside to an open-concept main level that blends character with modern comfort. The remodeled custom kitchen is a showstopper, featuring elegant soapstone countertops, classic white shaker cabinets, a stylish tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. A rear door off the kitchen leads to your private covered patio, ideal for relaxing or entertaining in any season. Upstairs, discover a spacious bedroom with custom-built closets and access to a private second-story deck — the perfect place for morning coffee or unwinding after a long day. The luxurious full bathroom feels like a spa retreat, with a walk-in shower, freestanding clawfoot soaking tub, and dual vanity. You'll also find a convenient laundry area on this level. The finished basement adds valuable flexible space for a home office, guest area, or cozy media room, complete with a wet bar and half bath. An additional unfinished area provides ample storage. Plus, enjoy endless hot water with an instant tankless hot water heater. Located in the highly sought-after Greenfield School Catchment and just one block from an available gated parking spot, this home is in the heart of everything: just a few blocks to Rittenhouse Square, Fitler Square, and the Schuylkill River Park & Trail. With easy access to the Broad Street Line, multiple bus routes, and some of Philadelphia’s best restaurants, bars, art, and theaters — this home offers the perfect blend of location, lifestyle, and luxury. Don't miss your opportunity to own this hidden gem in one of Philly’s most dynamic neighborhoods!
