Listing description

Welcome to 1536 S Capitol Street! This beautifully and recently renovated home sits on a quiet block in the heart of Point Breeze, one of Philly's most sought-after neighborhoods. Whether you're looking for a move-in ready home for yourself or as an investment, this two bed 1.5 bath home has everything you need at a price that's easy on your wallet. Even with today's interest rates, your monthly payment is still less than what it would cost to rent this adorable house... featuring exposed brick, a private back patio, custom closet systems, and a fully finished basement with laundry area and a half bath (perfect for guests or a third roommate!). And all of this is located in an incredibly walkable and bikeable neighborhood...an under 10 minute walk to the brand new Aldi and CVS on Washington Ave, Dock Street Brewery, Porcos Small Oven Bakery, the Broad St subway line (providing quick and easy access to Center City and area hospitals and universities), and don't forget to take advantage of all the shops and restaurants along East Passyunk Ave and Point Breeze Ave. Schedule your showing today, and make this home yours!
