A deck up top, a patio out back, and a kitchen that's already been updated — this two bedroom, one bath home sits on one of Bella Vista's best blocks, in the Meredith School catchment. Inside, 1,036 square feet is laid out to work harder than the number suggests. Original hardwood floors run throughout, and the kitchen has already had a refresh. The bathroom opens into a full dressing room, easily closed off into a home office if that's what your household needs instead. Out back, a private patio gives you ground-level outdoor space, while a rooftop deck adds a second outdoor retreat. Newer doors lead out to both, so getting outside is effortless. Location is the other half of the story. This stretch of Bella Vista is walkable in every direction — Passyunk Ave, the Italian Market, Angelo's Pizzeria, neighborhood cafés, and the shops and restaurants that make this pocket of the city one people plan their lives around. Center City, Queen Village, and East Passyunk are all a short walk or ride away, and the Meredith School is just a few blocks away. Reach out to schedule a showing.
