About This Home
As of June 2025You swore you weren’t going to keep scrolling listings at midnight. But then there it was—that house. The one your friends told you doesn’t exist anymore in West Philly. The kind with garage parking, a deck made for late summer dinners, and just enough project potential to make it your own without tearing your hair out. You kept staring, thinking this could actually work. You didn’t even realize how ready you were to be done with your landlord until this moment.
Welcome to your next chapter—a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home on a welcoming block where neighbors wave, kids ride scooters, and the rhythm of daily life feels just right. This is a house with good bones and better energy, perched between classic charm and fresh opportunity. Hardwood floors run throughout, and natural light spills in from nearly every angle. The layout flows effortlessly—two stories plus a finished basement that opens directly to the garage (yes, garage!), with a second parking space tucked under the back deck.
The kitchen and bathrooms are clean and functional, ready for your design ideas or your Pinterest board to finally come to life. Out front, the garden is calling for your green thumb, and out back, a covered deck off the kitchen becomes your happy place—shaded and breezy, with just the right touch of treehouse vibes.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get better, the location seals the deal. You’re in the heart of super-cool West Philadelphia, where creativity, community, and culture collide. Grab brunch at Booker's, meet friends at Local 44 for a pint, pick up injera and lentils at Abyssinia, or treat yourself to a splurge-worthy dinner at Urban Sushi & Kitchen. With University of Pennsylvania and Penn Medicine just minutes away, the city is at your fingertips—but your home base is all your own.
This isn’t just a smart buy. It’s a chance to plant roots, add your style, and feel proud every time you pull into your driveway. You found the one. And it’s right here.
