About the Listing COMPASS1 - 3311071

Welcome to this lovingly restored and thoughtfully modernized row home in the heart of East Passyunk Crossing. Just steps from bustling Passyunk Avenue, this home is the perfect blend of historic charm and contemporary upgrades, and features a one-of-a-kind garden that provides a serene oasis in the heart of it all. Inside, you’ll find a bright and airy layout with exposed brick, restored vintage solid wood doors with glass knobs, custom milled trim, and skylights that fill the home with natural light. The modern kitchen, fully renovated in 2019, features solid wood cabinetry, quartzite countertops, a glass tile backsplash, and high-end finishes and French doors that open to the garden. Additional updates include a new staircase and railing, refinished original hardwood floors (2019 & 2025), new windows throughout, and upgraded electrical with recessed lighting. Comfort is top of mind with high-velocity central air and a cute and convenient first floor powder room. The dreamy first floor flows from the wrought iron gated door and vintage pink tiled vestibule all the way to to the french doors at the rear of the home that open onto a custom-designed garden oasis — complete with a permeable paver patio, wooden arbor, raised hardscape beds, low-voltage landscape lighting, and lush plantings. It’s a perfect retreat for relaxing, entertaining, or gardening right in the city. Upstairs, the bathroom shines with heated marble tile flooring and a subway tiled tub surround. The large primary bedroom features a big closet complete with a built-in safe for valuables. There are two additional bedrooms, both of which are charming in their own right - bedroom two has a gorgeous wall paper and bedroom three has exposed brick and built-ins. This home’s wider-than-average layout provides both comfort and functionality, and the sizeable backyard is a rare find in South Philly. The new rubber roof and skylight (2015), first-floor powder room addition (2018), and extensive insulation upgrades (2016) make this property completely move-in ready. Beyond the home, East Passyunk Crossing offers one of Philadelphia’s most vibrant communities. Walk to award-winning restaurants like Barcelona, Pizzata, and Fountain Porter, grab local treats from Vanilya and Occasionette, and enjoy the convenience of the South Philly Food Co-Op just two blocks away. With parks, playgrounds, festivals, a welcoming, walkable neighborhood vibe and zoned for the well-regarded Southwark School, this location can’t be beat. Lovely. Restored. Modernized. Home. This East Passyunk gem is ready for its next chapter — will it be yours?
