About This Home

Available Now

Renovated in 2025, this West Philadelphia rowhome blends thoughtful updates with everyday livability. The main level connects the front porch, living room, dining area, and kitchen in one continuous flow that feels open and practical for daily life. New flooring, recessed lighting, and neutral finishes keep the interior bright and consistent from front to back. The kitchen features quartz countertops, new cabinetry, and modern fixtures, creating a durable, easy-to-maintain workspace for cooking or gathering. Upstairs, three bedrooms offer simple, refreshed comfort, each designed to feel light and quiet. The full bath has been completely redone with clean lines and calm tones. Out back, the paved yard gives you space for a small table, garden setup, or grill, offering an easy outdoor extension of the living area. Major systems have been replaced or renewed, including the roof, windows, electric, plumbing, and water lines, all supported by a one-year home warranty for added peace of mind. This home is ready to own and offers a solid start in West Philadelphia, close to transit, parks, and everyday essentials. Section 8 applicants are welcome.
