EXCEPTIONALLY SPACIOUS with GENEROUS SIZED ROOMS, what appears to be a solid foundation, and timeless character, 603 MORRIS offers REMARKABLE LIVING SPACE to fit your lifestyle. First impression is the classic brick façade, raised front entry with a small slate patio and stoop, charming BAY WINDOW and articulated decorative masonry cornice. Once inside, with approx. 1,490sf, you will see for yourself the surprisingly SPACIOUS LAY-OUT with high ceilings, LARGE EAT-IN KITCHEN offering convenient access to REAR YARD with concrete block walls for privacy, a HALF BATH and bonus deep closets on main level. The existing layout UPSTAIRS offers FOUR BEDROOMS all with ample-sized closets, FULL BATHROOM w/customary bubblegum pink tile, and HALL CLOSET. The EXTREMELY LARGE UNFINISHED BASEMENT presents full home-footprint, with the floor previously dug deeper to improve standing height clearance. This lower level houses the mechanicals, laundry, and utility meters, in addition to providing MASSIVE STORAGE SPACE, enough to share for assorted-use OPTIONS, as per your needs. Do not be misled.

Close proximity and walkable to notorious PASSYUNK SQUARE, where authentic old-school South Philly explodes with community spirit, and a stellar reputation of being known as one of the BEST FOOD neighborhoods along with a notable cool vibe. Oh, and less than two miles to legendary South Philly Sports Complex. Buyers are welcome to perform their own due diligence. Inspections are always encouraged, but will be for informational purposes only.
