Welcome to 1217 S 8th St.! This 1,350 sqft. recently renovated home features 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a fully finished basement, and is in the heart of East Passyunk. Open the front door to a sunny living area, which feels extra spacious due to the steps being at the rear of the first floor. Walk through the dining and breakfast table area to see the kitchen, with like-new appliances (2025), and ample cabinet and counter space. A bright window above the sink overlooks the outdoor space, which is perfect for grilling or relaxing. Downstairs from the kitchen, find the fully finished basement and laundry. As you go upstairs to the second floor of the home, find two large bedrooms (one of which faces a vibrant honeylocust tree) with lots of natural light, and a full bathroom in between. On the third floor of the home, find a quiet room perfect for an office, guest room, or bonus den. Enjoy even more shade and greenery from the outside tree in this top room. This home’s location is truly hard to beat! It's sits just one block from the Pat’s/Geno’s/Garage intersection, and is a quick walk to ACME, the iconic Italian Market, and dozens of shops/cafes/restaurants on Passyunk Ave. Gold Star Park and Columbus Square are excellent, walkable parks that have both been renovated in recent years, featuring new playgrounds and dog areas. Multiple bus routes are nearby, as is the Ellsworth-Federal stop on the BSL. 1217 S 8th St. is ready for its next owner - we can’t wait to have you come by.
