Description
Charming South Philly rowhome with original details, finished basement, and backyard retreat! FHA buyers take note—this home may qualify for assumption of the current owner's 5.25% FHA interest rate, offering potential savings from day one. Start your tour on the classic covered front porch—perfect for morning coffee and chats with friendly neighbors. Inside, the living room greets you with warmth and charm, thanks to its beautifully preserved original hardwood floors with ornate inlay, large front windows that let the light pour in, and a vintage wrought-iron staircase. A sleek electric fireplace adds just the right touch of coziness and modern comfort. Flow through to the dining room, ideal for entertaining, then into the spacious rear kitchen, which blends practicality with personality. Here, you will find durable Corian countertops, tile flooring, recessed lighting, and plentiful cabinetry. A stainless steel Samsung French-door refrigerator and Frigidaire range with built-in microwave complete the setup, while a wall-mounted A/C unit keeps the entire main level comfortable and a handy storage nook by the back door adds smart functionality. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom features stylish five-year-old laminate flooring with a special surprise—original hardwoods still preserved underneath, visible in the closet and ready to be uncovered if desired. The middle bedroom is ideal as a home office or guest room, while the rear bedroom includes updated flooring and a walk-in closet—an unexpected luxury in a classic rowhome. A full hall bath with vintage tile rounds out the upper level, offering a clean, functional space with room to add your own touch over time. The finished basement provides a large, flexible area that can adapt to your needs—whether for storage, hobbies, a home gym, or extra hangout space. A glass block bar brings a fun retro vibe, while a convenient powder room (with a new toilet and sink both installed 12/2024), built-in bench, and laundry area with a 2022 Speed Queen washer and dryer set make the space as functional as it is versatile. Utilities and mechanicals are smartly tucked away. Out back, enjoy a private, fully paved yard with a covered patio—low-maintenance and perfect for grilling or relaxing outdoors. Recent upgrades to plumbing and systems, including a newer water heater, new 2024 water main, and a brand-new 2025 garbage disposal provide additional peace of mind. Just steps from Nicks Roast Beef, a South Philly institution, and surrounded by an ever-growing mix of beloved eateries and neighborhood favorites, this location puts you in the heart of one of the most authentic and walkable communities in the city. With Passyunk Square, Girard Estates, parks, shops, and public transit all nearby, you will have easy access to everything that makes South Philly such a vibrant place to live. This home has been cared for with love throughout its entire ownership—schedule a tour before it is gone!

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
