Welcome to this classic brick-front townhouse with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths in the heart of Passyunk Square that blends timeless Philadelphia character with modern design.

The backyard is fully fenced with a clean concrete patio, ideal for grilling, entertaining, or relaxing outdoors. Inside, the main level offers an open-concept floor plan with gleaming hardwood floors throughout the living, dining, and kitchen areas. The living room welcomes you with abundant natural light and room for a large sectional, while the dining area comfortably fits a full table. The chef’s kitchen is both stylish and practical, complete with espresso cabinetry, light granite countertops, a white subway tile backsplash with dark accents, stainless steel appliances, and a peninsula with breakfast bar seating. The fully finished basement adds even more versatility, featuring plush carpeting, a powder room, and ample space for a media room, office, or gym.

From here, stairs lead to the crown jewel of the home—a spacious rooftop deck with multiple seating areas and breathtaking panoramic views of the city skyline and the Delaware River. This prime location puts you steps from everything Passyunk Square has to offer—boutiques, coffee shops, and some of Philly’s most popular restaurants, including Marra’s, Barcelona, and Bing Bing Dim Sum. Stroll to the Italian Market, Pat's or Geno's Cheesesteaks, Sprouts, or Whole Foods, or enjoy nearby green spaces like Gold Star Park, Capitolo Playground, and Columbus Square Dog Park.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
