About This Home
As of August 2025Welcome to 637 Cross St — a perfectly polished 2-bed, 1.5-bath rowhome in the heart of Philadelphia’s buzzing Bella Vista/Southwark neighborhood! Recently renovated in 2023, this charming brick-front beauty blends historic character with modern, must-have finishes.
Step inside to an airy, open-concept layout with gorgeous hardwood floors, contemporary light fixtures, and a sleek white kitchen boasting stainless steel appliances, floating wood shelves, and a central island that begs for Sunday brunch.
Just past the cozy living room, sliding glass doors lead to your spacious private deck — ideal for summer BBQs, your morning coffee, or winding down under twinkle lights with a glass of wine. It’s outdoor living, reimagined.
Upstairs, you’ll find two sunlit bedrooms and a bold, stylish full bath with double vanity and eye-catching accent wall. The main floor offers a chic powder room for guests. And the finished basement? A total flex space — home gym, office, rec room, you name it.
With central air, street parking, and thoughtful updates throughout, this move-in-ready home checks all the boxes.
You’re just steps from local hotspots like Fabric Row, Fitzwater Street Park, and neighborhood favorites in Passyunk Square and Queen Village. Plus, top-rated schools, great transit, and walkable charm make this location unbeatable.
