The inviting main level features a convenient coat closet and elegant built-in wall units in the dining room, perfect for storage and display. A separate entrance leads to the spacious basement, offering endless possibilities. While it could benefit from updating, it includes a powder room and plenty of room to create additional living space, a recreation area, or storage. The second floor features three well-sized bedrooms and a full bathroom. Each room offers generous closet space with built-in shelving, and most bedrooms include oversized ceiling-height cabinets for extra storage. The primary bedroom is especially convenient with its own enclosed washer and dryer. On the third floor, a skylight at the top of the staircase floods the space with natural light, complemented by an exhaust fan that helps keep the home cool. This level feels bright and airy, offering an open layout with a wet bar, a full bathroom, and an additional bedroom plus open space. The third floor can easily be transformed into a private suite with an attached office, workshop, nursery, or creative space - whatever best suits your needs. The rear of the property overlooks lush ivy that serves as a peaceful bird sanctuary, providing a serene and private natural backdrop. This property boasts a phenomenal Walk Score of 95 ("Walker's Paradise") due to its incredible location just one block from the historic Italian Market, offering daily access to fresh goods and unique eateries. Furthermore, you are steps away from the celebrated dining and retail corridor of East Passyunk Avenue, known for its award-winning restaurants and charming local shops. Excellent access to SEPTA transit, including the nearby Broad Street Line (Tasker-Morris Station), makes commuting to Center City effortless. This is a prime opportunity to secure a home in an authentic, vibrant, and highly walkable Philadelphia neighborhood. This home offers a rare combination of character, flexibility, and storage - ready for its next owner to make it their own. Read Less
