Terrific on Two Street! Whether you love the Mummers or not, this home stands out on its own! Welcome to 1537 s. 2nd Street, a perfectly move-in ready home in the heart of Pennsport! This concession free, fully renovated three story home has it all including three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a finished basement and an amazing rear yard at almost 1,700 sq ft of living space! The beautiful brick facade sets the tone. As you enter, you can't miss the wide plank hardwood floors along with tons of upgraded millwork throughout the home. The open first floor plan is perfection and includes a large living space, full dining room and kitchen in the rear just off the side door leading out to the yard. The kitchen is complete with large shaker style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops and tile backsplash. Head out from there to the enormous yard, perfect for all types of entertainment and relaxation! The second floor has two spacious bedrooms, each with great lighting and closet space, split by a hall bath with a full tile surround and bench tub. Head up to the third floor primary suite, where you will find a spacious bedroom, great closet space, and a newly renovated bathroom which includes a double vanity, free standing soaking tub, and beautiful shower with rain head and hand held! Finally, head down to the finished basement with powder room for that extra bit of recreational space that is always useful! Take note of the carpentry upgrades throughout including: single panel doors, crown molding and wainscoting throughout the first floor, wainscoting in hallway throughout, deep sills, and upgraded trim! The location speaks for itself - stand on your front step on New Year's Day for a front row seat of the Mummer's Parade! On any other day, you can walk within minutes to all Pennsport has to offer, Passyunk Square, Queen Village, all big box retail on Columbus Blvd right around the corner! Get to the sports complex within minutes to catch a game. Hop right on 95 to get in and out of the city or over the bridge. Take a look at this home and enjoy living the dream!
