About This Home

As of June 2025

Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined block just off Broad St in Newbold, you'll find 1808 S Bancroft St. This renovated 2-story home offers 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a private patio, and central a/c. A well-kept brick exterior and a raised entry display charming curb appeal out front. Inside, the bright, open, and airy main level creates a welcoming atmosphere. A tray ceiling frames the living room, where there's plenty of space to hang out, while the dining area can host friends and family. Past a convenient powder room, the gleaming kitchen is fitted with white shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite counters, a unique tile backsplash, and a center island with seating. Out back, the rear patio acts as a peaceful escape from the city's hustle, perfect for barbecues, gardening, and al fresco dining. Up on the second level, a sunlit primary bedroom with a ceiling fan and double closets is at the front. A second bedroom and a full bathroom boasting a dual vanity are down the hall. Completing the home is an expansive basement with the laundry and extra storage space. In addition to everything inside, 1808 S Bancroft St's fantastic location earns a Walk Score of 91! Steps away, vibrant E Passyunk Ave and the surrounding blocks are lined with friendly shops, as well as popular restaurants like Ristorante Pesto, Le Virtù, and South Philadelphia Tap Room. Plus, there's easy access to medical centers, public transit, the sports complex, I-76, I-95, and South Jersey. Schedule your tour today!
