Here’s the thing about this corner of South Philly: you’re close to everything that matters—I-95, sports & the stadiums—but far enough that you actually live here instead of just passing through. This three-bed, one-and-a-half-bath townhome gives you that sweet spot. The bones are solid. Upstairs floors are ready for refinishing, and yeah, it needs fresh paint throughout, but that’s also your blank canvas—make it yours. The real win? That yard. In this neighborhood, a yard this size is rare. Whether you’re grilling on a Saturday or just need outdoor space that doesn’t require a membership, it’s there. The location is the star here. Jump on 95 in five minutes, grab a cheesesteak, catch a game at the Linc or Citizens Bank—it’s all accessible without the premium price tag you’d pay a neighborhood or two over. You get the convenience, the character, and your money goes further. Move-in ready once you refresh it. Perfect for buyers who want to put their stamp on a place without committing to major work.

Residential Single-Family Attached-5
The RSA, Residential Single-Family Attached districts are primarily intended to accommodate attached and semi-detached houses on individual lots, but may be applied in areas characterized by a mix of housing types, including detached houses. The districts are also intended to provide a density transition between RSD districts and RM districts. The Zoning Code includes five RSA districts that are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements.
