About this home
There are houses that check boxes, and then there are houses that feel like they were built for the way you actually live. This 2024-built Pennsport row home falls firmly into the second category — and the layout tells you exactly why.
Step through the front door and you're greeted by a two-story foyer, setting the tone for the whole home — bright, open, welcoming. Soaring ceilings and dramatic windows hint at what's waiting on every level above. The garage and basement anchor the lower level, and both earn their keep. The two-car garage is something closer to treasure than convenience in this part of the city. The finished basement is its own destination: tall ceilings, natural light pouring in from street-facing windows, a private bedroom, and a Jack-and-Jill bath make it the perfect guest suite, au pair space, or the best sleepover room in the neighborhood.
Head up to the second floor and you'll find the heart of the house — living, dining, and kitchen all flowing together in a way that feels effortless. It's a space that works for weekday dinners, Sunday brunches, or a quiet night in. The Bosch-equipped kitchen has the prep space to back up whatever you're cooking up. Tucked on this same level, a sunny bedroom overlooking 2nd Street works beautifully as a home office, reading room, or that flexible space every household eventually needs.
The third floor is where the main sleeping quarters live. The primary suite offers a roomy walk-in closet and a graciously appointed bathroom — a proper retreat at the end of the day. Toward the front of the house, a second large bedroom drinks in the morning sun from the east, lined with closets and served by its own private bath. And above it all? The rooftop deck. Skyline views, container garden greenery, morning coffee as the city wakes up — it's the room without walls that ties the whole home together.
Outside your front door is Pennsport, one of South Philly's most beloved neighborhoods for good reason. Dickinson Square Park is just blocks away, there are coffee shops where the barista will know your order by week two, and restaurants you'll still be discovering years from now. It's walkable, it's neighborly, and it has that spark of energy that makes city living so good. I-95 is right there when you need to get out of town, and Center City is an easy stroll north....
