Listing description

Welcome to 2521 Federal Street, a thoughtfully renovated two-bedroom, 1.5-bath rowhome nestled in one of Philadelphia's fastest-growing neighborhoods. Lovingly maintained by the current owner—who has been the home's only occupant since the renovation was completed—this residence offers the perfect blend of modern finishes, practical living, and peace of mind. Step inside to an open, light-filled main level featuring hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, central air, and a functional layout designed for everyday living and entertaining. The updated kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, upgraded cabinetry, and ample workspace, while a convenient first-floor powder room adds to the home's functionality. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms with abundant natural light and ceiling fans, along with a spacious hall bathroom. A full basement provides excellent storage or the opportunity for additional workspace. Beyond the home itself, the location continues to shine. Situated just minutes from Graduate Hospital, Center City, East Passyunk, and the rapidly transforming Washington Avenue corridor, you'll enjoy easy access to an expanding collection of restaurants, coffee shops, parks, neighborhood amenities, and hundreds of millions of dollars in nearby residential and commercial investment. To provide buyers with added confidence, the seller has proactively completed a professional pre-listing home inspection, with the report available for review before submitting an offer. Professional photography will be uploaded soon. Schedule your private tour today and discover everything 2521 Federal Street has to offer.
