About This Home
Seller is open to an Assumable Mortgage: Welcome to 1939 S 21st St, a beautifully renovated 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home offering nearly 1,500 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space plus a fully finished basement. Reimagined in 2021, this home blends clean modern finishes with functional design, featuring an open concept main level, a chef’s kitchen with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a large island, along with direct access to a rear deck overlooking a spacious backyard space that is hard to find in South Philly and perfect for entertaining, gardening, or giving dogs room to run. Upstairs, you’ll find three well proportioned bedrooms including a primary bedroom with a walk in closet and an en suite bathroom, while the finished basement provides flexible bonus space for a home office, gym, or media room.
