About This Home
As of July 2025Welcome to 1631 W Porter St, a fantastic 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home nestled in the heart of Girard Estates. This home offers a great balance of space, style, and comfort, and is located just steps from the best of South Philly.
Step inside to find a bright and spacious living room. The 16-foot width of the home provides plenty of room for your furniture and allows for great flow throughout the space. The front bay window brings in lots of natural light, highlighting the beautiful dark wood floors that run throughout the home.
The kitchen is a true standout, designed by a chef with cooking in mind. Featuring dark wood cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances — it’s the perfect place to prepare meals. Plus, the large dining area easily seats 10, so you’ll have plenty of space for family and friends. A convenient half-bath is tucked away off the kitchen.
The back door leads to a small patio area, which offers a peaceful outdoor space, and provides quick access through the gate to the street.
Upstairs, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms, each with ceiling fans and dark wood floors. The master suite in the front of the house is generous in size and includes a private ensuite bath with a walk-in shower and built-in seat. The second full bath down the hall features a soaking tub and extra shelf storage. The other two bedrooms are cozy and offer plenty of space for family, guests, or even a home office.
The finished basement is a great bonus space, with easy-to-maintain ceramic tile flooring and a third full bath featuring a stylish walk-in shower.
Not only is this home packed with upgrades, but you’ll also love the location. Girard Estates is a great neighborhood with tree-lined streets, and you’re just blocks from Oregon Station on the Broad Street Line. Stephen Girard Park is also nearby, a beautiful green space that includes Girard’s historic estate. For local bites, visit Heavy Metal Sausage and Cacia’s Bakery are around the corner, and one of the best Italian BYOBs, L'Angolo, is just a couple blocks east.
With a spacious layout, modern updates, and an unbeatable location, 1631 W Porter is ready to welcome you home.
Incenter Tax Solutions appealed the property taxes which resulted in lower property taxes (still not displaying on tax website). The new taxes should be updated shortly and Incenter Tax Solutions shared that there is a possibility for the buyer to appeal them again for the upcoming year.
