Step into timeless urban living with this expansive, character-rich 4-bedroom rowhome nestled within West Philadelphia’s vibrant 19139 corridor. Offering an impressive 1,700 square feet of thoughtfully designed space, this residence is an exceptional find for ambitious first-time buyers, savvy investors, or renovators seeking an attainable foothold just beyond the borders of University City. Inside, you are greeted by warm, original hardwood floors that trace the home's historic charm, complemented by rare and practical modern conveniences like a main-floor half bathroom. Beyond the interior lies an unexpectedly generous, oversized private backyard complete with a custom patio—creating a rare urban oasis ideal for weekend gatherings or quiet relaxation. Positioned on a tranquil, tree-lined residential block with seamless access to SEPTA transit lines and the Market-Frankford subway for an effortless commute to Center City, this property delivers unmatched lifestyle flexibility and room to grow. Best of all, purchasing this home at $235,000 translates to an estimated monthly carrying cost of roughly $1,860—favorably tracking below the $2,000 monthly rental rate—empowering you to stop paying someone else's mortgage, build long-term equity, and customize a classic Philadelphia architectural gem.
