Passyunk Square home bursting with charm, coziness, and amenities, ready for its next owner! This beauty on the sweetest block in the neighborhood has been lovingly updated and maintained. Step through the traditional vestibule as you enter the open concept first floor. The extra wide living and dining space features hardwood floors, dimmable lighting, and multiple options for arranging your furniture. The crowning jewel of the home is the 5 year old kitchen with upgraded appliances, custom soapstone counters with integrated drainboard, a hand carved soapstone sink, and a wall of pantry cabinets. The three bedrooms and one full bath are on the second floor. Two bedrooms are medium sized with large closets, and the third bedroom is small but light filled with windows on two sides. It does not have a closet, but is large enough for a full-sized bed, or would make a perfect workspace. The bathroom includes a full sized tub with ceramic tile surround. There is a linen closet just outside the bathroom, and another closet down the hall just outside the primary bedroom. You won't find many houses in South Philly with better storage than this one. The basement is clean and fully waterproofed with french drain and sump. Could be fully finished with just framing and drywall, or use it as is for your home gym, art studio, storage, you name it. Small back patio could house bikes or a small cafe table. Central air and radiator heat, hardwood floors throughout, great storage, fantastic quiet block in the heart of everything. Don't wait to schedule your showing. Listing agent has an ownership interest in property/owner is a licensed PA Realtor.
