Upstairs are the three bedrooms and the full bathroom. NOTE: One bedroom is HUGE, and two bedrooms are very SMALL. The small bedrooms make great "work from home" spaces or "hobby rooms".

New floors, new walls, etc. It is a great South Philadelphia home at a very competitive price. Bring your own artwork, tapestries and decorating ideas to make it your home.
