About This Home
Nestled in the heart of the Italian Market and directly across from the award-winning Capitolo Community Garden and Playground, 937 Federal Street is a masterfully renovated home blending historic character with thoughtful modern upgrades—all within the coveted Fanny Jackson Coppin catchment.
The curb appeal is undeniable. A preserved granite facade and an original transom window frame the new front door, while a two-story beveled bay wrapped in Hardie board shake shingles adds dimension and style. Step through the marble-tiled vestibule and into a bright, spacious living room featuring tall ceilings, abundant natural light, the original marble mantle, and stunning 5" white oak flooring that runs throughout the home.
The layout flows effortlessly into a formal dining room and a beautifully redesigned kitchen—complete with brand-new oak cabinetry, handsome quartz countertops, luxury appliances, and modern finishes that elevate both daily meals and special occasions. Just beyond, a versatile bonus room offers space for a home office, playroom, or cozy reading nook, along with a stylish half bath and a large walk-in pantry. Outside, your private patio is the perfect city escape for grilling, lounging, or entertaining.
Upstairs, the original newel posts, baluster's, and hand rail add character and charm. The second floor includes two spacious bedrooms with ample closet space, a full bathroom, a linen closet, and a dedicated laundry area. On the third floor, you'll find a third bedroom, the second full bath, and a sun-filled primary suite with its own walk-in closet, secondary closet, and spa-like en-suite bathroom.
The partially finished basement adds even more versatility—ideal for a gym, media room, studio, or additional storage—and with new dual-zoned HVAC, all-new electrical and plumbing systems, every floor is perfectly comfortable year-round.
Location-wise, it doesn’t get better: live steps from some of the Italian Market’s best eats—South Philly Barbacoa, Agricola, Angelo's Pizzeria, Mawn, Fiorella—and just minutes from East Passyunk’s restaurant row, the Asian Supermarket, the Broad Street Line, and quick highway access. Don’t miss the chance to own this thoughtfully updated gem in one of Philly’s most vibrant neighborhoods—schedule your tour today!
