This cozy, yet somehow spacious home nestled on the outskirts of Squirrel Hill, in prime location is ready for you to make it yours next. Current tenant in place moves out June 20th, making this rental ready for move in July 1st. Central air will stand up to the extreme summer temps. Parking is meh, but the public transpo in walking distance is yea. Glossy hardwoods make you feel like someone actually cared for the house - enough to encourage you to show it off. It's just a gem. Don't put this off, come see it for yourself before someone comes and takes it for themselves.

Location
Get Directions
Located just four miles southwest of Center City Philadelphia, Kingsessing is a culture-rich neighborhood with roots dating back to 1676. Renting an apartment here gives residents convenient access to the rest of the city's many amenities via public transit or Interstate 676.
Culture and history lovers find that Kingsessing offers plenty of both. The Free Library of Philadelphia on nearby South 51st Street offers free media, books, and classes, while Theodore Presser Music Store on Chestnut Street features stacks of vinyl records to discover on a weeknight after work. Browse Wexler Gallery on 3rd Street for the perfect print to hang in your rental.
Every Friday night brings a new performance at Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in nearby Center City. Closer to home, Bartram's Garden offers a fascinating glimpse into the early 1700s through its historic gardens along the Schuylkill River.
