Listing description

Step into this charming 2-bed,1-bath townhouse on a low traffic block in the heart of Whitman. Built in 1920, tucked between original rows and sprawling new construction, it pairs classic South Philly bones with updates that make it easy to move in and settle. An open layout ties the living and dining areas together, finished with wood floors, recessed lighting, and large south facing window with a deep sill perfect for plant lovers. The rear kitchen has neutral granite countertops, complimentary backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and an extra tall pantry for storage. Beyond the kitchen you'll find your private patio with raised flower beds for gardening and a built-in bench for you to pull your bistro set right up to. Upstairs features some clever customizations with the classic row's middle 3rd bedroom converted into a massive walk in closet of your dreams. The original entryway was converted into the hall linen closet with a salvaged barn door. The original small closet was opened up and converted into a bed nook with a wooden accent wall and additional overhead storage. The rear bedroom is perfect for a nursery, office, or guest room with trendy open shelving. The full hall bath boasts travertine tiles, glass sliders, updated vanity, and half wall providing even more space for more plants or toiletries. Downstairs, a partially finished basement gives you room for a home office, gym, or play space, with laundry and more storage conveniently located in the rear. Within walking distance to everything you could possibly need- grab your essentials at Target, grocery shopping at ShopRite, explore the many restaurants and coffee shops along Moyamensing Ave. Savor delicious Italian at Waltz, sweet treats at The Bakery, and some of the best sandwiches Philly has to offer at John's Roast Pork and Angelo's. Comfortable, convenient, and ready for the next chapter in Whitman!
