Property Description

Move-in ready and full of character, this bright and airy townhouse sits on a quiet side street in Bella Vista — one of South Philly's most walkable, beloved communities — with the kind of craftsmanship that newer construction simply can't replicate. The home has been thoughtfully updated where it counts most, with a renovated kitchen and two renovated bathrooms. The open floor plan opens into a modern stylish kitchen that features stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, custom shelving, and access to the private outdoor patio perfect for morning coffee and grilling. The second-floor functions beautifully as an open den, office, or flex space, and could be enclosed by next owner to create a fully private bedroom — giving you options depending on how you like to live — adjacent to its own beautifully renovated full bathroom. The third floor is home to the primary bedroom which gets amazing light and comes equipped with its own beautiful full bathroom. Both floors contain closet space and additional nooks for dressers, desks and storage making every square inch of the home functional. The basement is home to laundry and storage. This home falls within the coveted Meredith School catchment, one of the most sought-after public schools in the city. A short walk from 9th Street's iconic Italian Market, Passyunk and South Street, Whole Foods, and many of the city's best shops and restaurants — this is a turn-key opportunity in a neighborhood that only keeps appreciating where you will be well fed all day every day! Tree-lined blocks, pocket parks, and genuine walkability make this one of the few Philadelphia neighborhoods where a car feels totally optional. Come see it before someone else does!
