Tucked away on a quiet street, this sun-drenched 1,322 sq ft home is bursting with charm and character. The inviting first floor features exposed brick, rich hardwood floors, rustic wood beams, and a large front window that floods the space with natural light. The cozy living area flows seamlessly into a beautiful kitchen and adjoining breakfast room—perfect for entertaining, morning coffee, or casual meals. Step outside to your own private patio, ideal for grilling, gardening, or simply unwinding with a good book. Upstairs, you'll find two comfortable bedrooms, a full bath, and a versatile loft space—currently serving as the primary suite—complete with a powder room. Thoughtful details like skylights, a vintage clawfoot tub, and a French Godin wood/coal stove give the second floor a warm, peaceful feel. Additional storage is available in the basement, and the location can’t be beat—just minutes from SEPTA, the Italian Market, Passyunk’s top restaurants, Capitolo Park, and more. This home is truly one-of-a-kind. Come experience it for yourself!
