Live right on Girard Park. Opportunities like this don't come around often. This oversized Girard Estates home sits directly on Girard Park — one of the most coveted pockets in the city, where tree-lined blocks, open green space, and a true neighborhood feel are right outside your door. You're buying more than a house here; you're buying the location. Morning walks around the park, room for the kids to run, and the kind of community that makes South Philly South Philly — it's all at your doorstep. A welcoming covered front porch deck overlooks the park — the perfect spot to take in the greenery and the neighborhood. And the house itself delivers the square footage to match. This is a genuinely large home — generous room sizes throughout, multiple bedrooms, and an easy, flowing layout across multiple levels. The first floor offers expansive living and dining space anchored by a real, wood-burning fireplace — a rare and welcome feature — with classic beamed ceilings and original wood detailing that give the home real character. The eat-in kitchen is bright and roomy with abundant cabinetry and a sunny breakfast area. A convenient half bath sits right off the kitchen. Upstairs you'll find well-proportioned bedrooms with great natural light, served by the home's full bathroom. Downstairs, a large full basement runs the length of the home — laundry, utilities, and an enormous amount of finished and unfinished space for storage, a workshop, or future living area. Out back, the home opens to a big, private rear yard with mature shade trees — a true rarity in the city and ideal for entertaining, gardening, or just room to spread out. Bring your vision. With solid bones, an unbeatable location on Girard Park, real size inside and out, a huge basement, a big yard, this is a rare chance to build serious equity in a neighborhood that holds its value. Sold strictly as-is — priced to move.
