    What's special

    ** 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 all-new kitchen, bathroom, hardwood and Italian porcelain tile flooring, central air, LARGE outdoor paved patio and more! If you're looking for a lease starting as late as April 24th, stop by to see this house now! 538 Gerritt Street Pennsport / Italian Market Adjacent / Queen Village Adjacent / Dickinson Narrows South Philly Philadelphia, PA Features: - New bamboo flooring upstairs, refinished hardwood in the living room - Brand new euro/mod kitchen cabinets, glass backsplash, new appliances incl. microwave & dishwasher - New Italian porcelain tile on the kitchen floor - Brand new 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 - Newly tiled bathroom (walls & floors) - All new bathroom fixtures, new vanity, medicine cabinet, etc. - Newer energy-efficient windows upstairs; lots of light! The house is located in a very convenient area... a nexus between 4 different and all desirable neighborhoods... Pennsport to the east, Italian Market/Bella Vista AND East Passyunk to the west, and Queen Village to the north. You're less than a 5 minute walk to famous 24-hour cheesesteaks at Pat's (or Gino's) and the fantastic mom & pop restaurants and shopping in the Italian Market's new Puebla-delphia neighborhood. Walk less than 10 minutes north, and you're on South Street. Or even closer (and just mentioning 3 of many options), you can walk to trendy bar/restaurant The Industry [ http theindustrybar.com/ ], alt coffee shop GrindCore House [ http www.grindcorehouse.com/ ] or, for acclaimed fried chicken & donuts, Federal Donuts [ http www.federaldonuts.com/main/ ]. ** If you have any questions a/o to schedule a showing, please email us from this listing. **
