About This Home

This unique 3-bedroom, 1-bath home in Roxborough is ready for new tenants! With a cool, comfortable vibe and eclectic decor inspired by the owner’s travels to over 90 countries, this home is anything but ordinary.
Inside, you’ll find a bright and airy living space that flows into a kitchen featuring stylish navy cabinetry and granite countertops. Just off the dining room is one of the true highlights of the home—an expansive deck that serves as a private outdoor retreat. Whether it’s morning coffee, dining al fresco, or gathering with friends on summer evenings, this space is made for enjoying life.
Upstairs, three bright and sunny bedrooms offer flexibility for rest, work, or guests. And with central air conditioning, you’ll stay comfortable in every season.
Don't forget about the finished basement for even more space to relax or use as a gym!
Set on a charming residential street, you’ll be just steps from Perogie Kitchen, Dalessandro's, Walnut Lane Golf Course, Wissahickon Park, and more. With easy access to Center City, the Main Line, and public transit, commuting is a breeze.
If you’re searching for a home that’s stylish, welcoming, and full of character, 5917 Houghton St is waiting for you.
