    ** Interested in seeing this house at your convenience, possibly even on short notice? Please call or email us from this listing. We'll try to accommodate your schedule. ** ** Because of the size of the second bedroom... it's small and at best will accommodate a full size bed... this house probably is best-suited for a couple sharing the master bedroom or a solo renter. It COULD work for two people sharing, if one person is ok with a small bedroom and/or you're planning to split the rent unevenly. ** We've just completed a WHOLE HOUSE RENOVATION of this classic South Philly/Pennsport 2-bedroom house. Be the first to move in, and you'll have an updated kitchen, bathroom, hardwood and Italian porcelain tile flooring, central air, LARGE outdoor paved patio and more! 538 Gerritt Street Pennsport / Italian Market Adjacent / Queen Village Adjacent / Dickinson Narrows South Philly Philadelphia, PA Features: - Bamboo hardwood flooring upstairs, refinished hardwood in the living room - Euro/mod kitchen cabinets, glass backsplash, new stainless steel appliances - Italian porcelain tile on the kitchen floor - Central a/c and heating system - BIG backyard with newly-installed pavers - Full unfinished basement; full-size washing machine & dryer - Custom built-in closets & cabinets in the bedrooms - Tiled bathroom (walls & floors) - Energy-efficient windows upstairs; lots of light! The house is located in a very convenient area... a nexus between 4 different and desirable neighborhoods... Pennsport to the east, Italian Market/Bella Vista AND East Passyunk to the west, and Queen Village to the north. Neighborhood Amenities: Situated on a quiet residential block, this home puts the best of South Philly at your doorstep. You are just a short walk from everyday essentials, vibrant local culture, and green spaces. Green Space: Just a 3-minute walk to Dickinson Square Park perfect for morning coffee, farmers markets, and outdoor relaxation. Dining & Cafes: Steps away from local favorites like The Dutch, Coffee House too, and the historic Italian Market.

Commuting: Seamless access to public transit (bus routes on 4th and 5th Streets) and quick access to I-95 for an easy commute into Center City or out of the city. More: You're less than a 5 minute walk to famous 24-hour cheesesteaks at Pat's (or Gino's) and fantastic mom & pop and fine-dining restaurants and shopping in the surrounding neighborhood.
