About this home
Welcome to this newly renovated four-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath townhome in the Nicetown-Hunting Park area. As you approach, you’ll notice the open front porch—a perfect spot to relax outdoors. Step inside to a vestibule that leads through a stained-glass door into the spacious living room. Large windows with a built-in sitting area create an ideal reading nook, while a decorative fireplace adds charm and character.
Freshly stained hardwood floors flow seamlessly from the living room into the dining room. The open kitchen offers plenty of space for a dining table or a center island. It features brand-new appliances, including a stove, microwave, dishwasher and a refrigerator. At the rear of the kitchen, you’ll find a convenient half bath and a storage area for extra appliances or pantry needs.
Up the newly stained staircase, a full bathroom awaits with a deep soaking tub and recessed lighting. Toward the back, a generously sized bedroom that can serve as a primary suite or a cozy den. To the left of the bathroom, you’ll find two additional bedrooms, including a front-facing room with large windows and a spacious closet. Each bedroom is equipped with its own ceiling fan.
The home also offers a full basement—clean, versatile, and ready to be used as a recreation area, home gym, or additional storage space. The basement also includes laundry hookups for a washer and dryer, along with a convenient walk-out to the small rear yard—perfect for easy access to outdoor living and entertaining.
This move-in-ready property combines modern updates with timeless character—an excellent choice for comfortable city living.
