Located at 3801 Conshohocken Ave in Philadelphia's 19131 neighborhood, this well-appointed one-bedroom, two-bathroom residence offers a thoughtfully designed single-floor layout. The open-concept kitchen and living area serves as the heart of the home, where a granite-topped peninsula breakfast bar connects the two spaces seamlessly. The kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances — including a gas range, over-the-range microwave, and refrigerator — complemented by crisp white shaker cabinetry and light hardwood-style flooring. The living room offers plush carpeting, neutral tones, and a sliding glass door that floods the space with natural light and provides direct access to an outdoor area. The spacious primary bedroom features soft carpeting, generous proportions, and a calm, neutral palette conducive to rest. Two bathrooms serve the unit: one features a clean white vanity with brushed nickel fixtures, while the second includes a full soaking tub and shower combination with white tile surround and hardwood-style flooring. A dedicated closet provides practical storage. Throughout the residence, a cohesive design language of warm neutrals, modern finishes, and functional layouts creates a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
