Leave the car—live your life.This classic Philadelphia-style 2-family blends turn-of-the-century charm—hardwood floors, original moldings, and high ceilings—with thoughtful updates throughout. The layout offers flexibility for a variety of buyers: owner-occupants looking to offset their mortgage with rental income, multi-generational households seeking space and separation, or investors securing a prime 02144 asset in a location with consistent demand.Front and rear porches, off-street parking, and outdoor space allow you to enjoy both your home and your neighborhood.
