About this home
Welcome to 1549 S 53rd Street — a classic Philadelphia rowhome where timeless character, thoughtful updates, and exciting potential come together. Offering approximately 1,446 square feet of living space, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath interior townhouse invites you to step inside and imagine the possibilities. Begin your tour through the enclosed front porch — a sun-filled bonus space ideal for morning coffee, a reading nook, or a welcoming entry retreat. From there, the main level unfolds into a bright and inviting living room where updated wood-look flooring flows seamlessly throughout. Natural light streams through updated windows, highlighting the traditional staircase and preserved architectural details that give this home its authentic Philadelphia charm. Continue into the spacious dining area, perfectly positioned for both everyday living and entertaining. The open pass-through enhances the connection to the kitchen, creating a layout that feels open while maintaining the warmth of a classic rowhome design. The kitchen has been refreshed with clean-lined cabinetry and a timeless subway tile backdrop, offering generous workspace and a functional layout ready to support your culinary creativity. A convenient main-level powder room adds comfort and practicality to the flow of the home. Upstairs, you’ll find three comfortable bedrooms filled with character and flexibility. The primary bedroom is a standout feature, showcasing a beautiful bay window that fills the space with natural light and creates a peaceful retreat. Original hardwood flooring and detailed trim add warmth and architectural interest. Two additional bedrooms offer versatility for guests, a home office, studio, or personal sanctuary. The centrally located full bathroom serves the upper level with a functional layout and neutral finishes designed for everyday ease. Downstairs, the full basement offers generous ceiling height, painted walls, and recessed lighting that brighten the space and enhance its usability. With an open footprint and flexible layout, this level provides abundant storage and outstanding potential for future customization — whether you envision a recreation room, creative workspace, fitness area, or expanded living space. Step outside to your private fenced rear yard with a concrete patio — an inviting outdoor setting perfect for relaxing evenings, container gardening, or weekend gatherings. With a little imagination, this space can transform into your own urban retreat. Located within walking distance to parks, schools, Kingsessing Library, neighborhood cafés, and Saint Joseph’s University, the home offers exceptional everyday convenience in a vibrant community setting.
