Welcome to 2634 S. Bancroft Street--on THE Single Most Iconic South Philadelphia Block--a meticulously maintained 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home in the heart of Girard Estates, just minutes from Philadelphia’s legendary sports stadiums & Septa subway transport. Whether you're cheering on the Eagles, Phillies, Flyers, or Sixers, or counting down to the excitement of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, you’ll love being so close to the action! Located less than three blocks from the Broad Street Line, one stop takes you right to the stadiums, and when the next E-A-G-L-E-S parade rolls down Broad Street, you’ll have a front-row seat to the celebration. This home blends classic South Philly charm with modern updates. Freshly painted from top to bottom, 2634 S. Bancroft feels bright, clean and move in ready. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout the open concept first level, and the updated kitchen features sleek granite countertops. The partially finished basement includes a convenient powder room, offering extra space for work, play, or entertaining as well as a back laundry room/storage space. The private rear patio is the perfect spot to unwind with a morning coffee or evening cocktail. Three spacious bedrooms grace the second level, including a serene main bedroom retreat featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, plus a full bath with a tub, and fresh, brand-new carpeting. Two and a half blocks to the Broad Street Line (subway), quickly and easily taking you North into Center City or South to the 348-acre FDR Park for walks, softball games, pick up soccer, yoga and more! The entrances to I-95 and I-76 are so close that you’ll forget you're traveling in and out of a city! Bancroft Street captures the essence of South Philly—spanning between 16th and 17th Streets, this distinctive block is illuminated each night by its iconic string lights, casting a warm glow on a neighborhood steeped in tradition. This is a true community, where neighbors look out for one another and lifelong friendships are made. Lovingly cared for and full of character, this home is a South Philadelphia gem. A home that is just right & in just the right location for...everything!

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
