A hidden South Philly gem! Skip the inflated prices and cheap finishes of the already-flipped alternatives to invest in old-school quality. With five bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, there's no shortage of space. Your standard South Philly Life complaints do not apply here: Parking? Two sides of street parking open for the taking, with homes only on one side! Space? Three stories (plus basement) and over 1800 square feet of homeyness (on a 16-foot-wide lot, no less!), ready for you to make your own. Concrete jungle? You're across the street from the beloved Columbus Square park! Nestled between Coppin Elementary, the Broad Street Line, and the restaurants and amenities of Passyunk Square, what's not to love?
