This Newbold south Philadelphia colonial is an oasis in the city. Interesting architecture and well maintained features are the hallmark of the Emily residence. Originally built circa 1920, 1542 Emily still retains much of its old world charm. From the large glass plated bow window, transom wood-work, original cornice, and brownstone inspired facade, this home will entice you! Located on a small south Philly block in close proximity to so much this part of the city has to offer. Broad street, S Philly food co-op, Lang's produce, S Philly Tap room & Second District Brewing just to name a few. Newbold has definitely become a destination neighborhood. The Emily residence has a partially finished basement adding approx. 300sqft of very usable space and another small bath could be installed as the old system, not in use , is still there. All appliances are included plus the large screen projector system with speakers! The home features hardwood floors though-out, the floors upstairs are older and beautifully maintained. Buyers will enjoy the exposed brick, a well maintained backyard, great northern natural light and a dining area nook. In addition to the butcher block kitchen, well sized bedrooms and tiled master bath with jetted tub. This home is worth a look in a popular part of town!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
