A short walk from the very heart of Passyunk Square brings you to 1609 Reed Street, a charming 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home. This perfectly appointed home features a handsome brick facade, hardwood flooring throughout, recessed lighting, a first floor powder room, and plenty of other appealing features. There is more than meets the eye here, with its comfortable lot size, and a common alleyway for taking out the trash or bringing bikes to the back. The first floor features a spacious layout, and powder room. The kitchen is bright and sunny and boasts updated stainless steel appliances. Through the kitchen, you will find the laundry room. However, this could also become a mudroom or pantry, if one desired to relocate the laundry to the clean and tidy basement, which is also well-suited for storage. The patio is quiet and adorable, and the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind at the end of a long day. Upstairs, you'll find three nicely sized bedrooms, with plenty of storage space, that share the large hall bathroom. This home has been well-maintained and cared for, and is a 5 minute walk to the Broad Street Line, and just a 12 minute walk to all the amenities of Passyunk Square. It truly is the best of all worlds!
A 3 Stylish Bedroom gem affordably priced on a pleasant block. Large sun-filled living room. Eat-in Kitchen with tile floors. Hardwood in all other rooms. Sunny master bedroom. Ceiling fans. Rear yard for barbecues. Powder Room on Main level and full tile bath on Bedroom level.
