Perfectly situated just steps from Girard Avenue, Front Street, and 2nd Street, this exceptional location offers the ideal balance of vibrant city living and quiet residential charm.

Spanning approximately 2,300 square feet, this thoughtfully designed home features hardwood flooring throughout, smart overhead lighting, and an open, functional layout tailored for modern living. The main level offers a bright and inviting living space, a spacious dining area, and a beautifully appointed kitchen complete with a large center island, stainless steel appliances, and timeless white shaker cabinetry. Just off the kitchen, a private rear patio creates the perfect setting for entertaining, grilling, or relaxing outdoors.

One of the home’s standout features is the fully finished lower level, thoughtfully designed as a true extension of the home rather than a typical basement. An open, extra-wide staircase creates a seamless connection to the main living area, allowing the space to feel bright, welcoming, and integrated into the overall design of the home. Perfectly suited for a media room, family room, home gym, office, or flexible living space, this level also includes a convenient half bath and additional storage.

The second floor features two generously sized bedrooms with excellent closet space, a full hall bathroom, linen storage, and a dedicated laundry closet with full-size washer and dryer.

Occupying the entire third floor, the primary suite serves as a private retreat complete with abundant closet space and a versatile bonus room ideal for a home office, nursery, dressing room, or potential additional bedroom. The luxurious en-suite bathroom features a double vanity and oversized walk-in shower.

At the top of the home, a stunning roof deck showcases beautiful views of the Ben Franklin Bridge and the Philadelphia skyline — the perfect backdrop for entertaining or unwinding above the city.
