FRESH PRICE! Quirky, Charming, and Move-In Ready! This 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom row home sits generously in the middle of a large lot, which means light, air, and actual breathing room. The moment you walk up, you know this one is different. Painted brick, a bold orange front door, and mature plantings out front signal something with a point of view. Someone lived here intentionally. Inside, the living room is bright and easy. Light hardwood floors run throughout, ceilings are higher than you expect, and the layout flows without feeling chopped up. A handsome wood slat room divider defines the entry without closing it off, the kind of thoughtful detail you don't find at this price point. Natural light pours in from the front windows, and from where you're standing you can see straight through to the back of the house. Real depth. Real flow. The kitchen is the kind of renovation that actually got it right. White shaker cabinets, warm butcher block counters, a white subway tile backsplash, open wood shelving, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances including a range with a proper hood, dishwasher, and French door refrigerator. A ceiling fan keeps things comfortable, and a door off the back opens directly to the yard. The dining area sits right alongside it, easy and casual, with room to pull up a chair without feeling like you're in anyone's way. The bathroom earns its own paragraph. Bold terracotta tile runs floor to ceiling, black slate floors anchor the room, and an emerald green and white clawfoot tub sits center stage with a ceiling-mounted shower. A round mirror, matte black fixtures, and patterned wallpaper above the tile line finish it off. This is not a bathroom someone put together by accident. It has a point of view and it commits. The bedrooms are calm and well-proportioned, with good light and enough room to breathe. The front second floor bedroom has ample wardrobe storage and a wide window that brings the outside in. The finished attic is your third space: bedroom, studio, office, whatever calls to you. The basement is unfinished but clean, functional, and larger than you expect. Washer and dryer are already there. Plenty of room for storage, a workshop, or whatever you decide to do with it down the road. But here is what makes this place feel different: the backyard. Not just big. Genuinely usable. The covered rear deck is the centerpiece, built with an orange steel frame and a clear corrugated roof that lets light in while keeping weather out. String lights overhead, lounge chairs positioned exactly right, a grill off to the side. This is not a deck you glance at and ignore. It is a room without walls, and it works in every season. The yard beyond is gravel-finished and fenced, low-maintenance without feeling neglected. The whole property breathes in a way Philadelphia row homes often don't. There is room to move, light to work with, and a genuine sense of grace to the setting. Walk to Germantown Avenue for cafes, Doho Wine Bar, restaurants, and independent shops, with a SEPTA regional rail station nearby when you need to move around the city. Awbury Arboretum and several playgrounds are a short walk as well! Come see how it feels like home!
