About this home
Welcome to 1222 S Alder Street, a stylish 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath home in the heart of Passyunk Square offering a thoughtful blend of character, comfortable living space and multiple outdoor retreats.
Step inside to an open first floor where warm hardwood floors, recessed lighting and an exposed brick wall create an inviting backdrop for everyday living and entertaining. The living and dining areas flow naturally into the kitchen, featuring dark cabinetry, light countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking and a peninsula that provides additional prep space and casual seating. Just beyond the kitchen, a private enclosed patio extends the living space outdoors—an ideal setting for dining, entertaining or simply unwinding.
The second floor offers two bedrooms and a full hall bath, providing flexibility for sleeping quarters, guests or a dedicated home office. One level above, the third-floor primary suite creates a private retreat of its own, with a spacious bedroom, two walk-in closets, an en-suite bath and two private balconies. Step outside and enjoy neighborhood rooftop views, including a striking view toward the Philadelphia skyline. The third-floor plan confirms the primary suite, en-suite bath, two walk-in closets and front and rear balconies.
Need additional space? The finished lower level adds a versatile recreation area that works equally well as a media room, home office, exercise space or guest area, with a separate utility room providing additional functionality.
The home also features central air, electric forced-air heat and a full roof replacement completed shortly after the sellers purchased the property in 2020. Central air was installed in 2024.
All of this is tucked into Passyunk Square, with neighborhood restaurants, cafés, shopping, parks, the Italian Market and public transportation within easy reach. From the open living spaces and exposed brick to the private patio, third-floor suite and skyline-facing balcony, 1222 S Alder offers the kind of indoor-outdoor city living that makes South Philadelphia so appealing....
