Property Description
Welcome home to 1140 S 53rd Street. This home was completely renovated in 2024 and it shows the moment you walk in. This home was also just freshly painted top to bottom. The front entry gives you a little extra breathing room as you step into a bonus space, perfect for kicking off shoes, hanging coats, and not feeling like you're walking straight into the living space. This bright and sunny space is perfect for your plants, too! The main level flows easily, with a kitchen that really stands out. It's clean, bright and modern with plenty of cabinet and counter space, stainless steel appliances, and room to cook without feeling boxed in. Just off the kitchen, you've got first-floor laundry (no hauling baskets up and down to the basement) and a powder room perfectly tucked away just where you want it. Out back is a great deck space, perfect for entertaining and weekend BBQs. Upstairs are three comfortable, well-sized bedrooms. No tiny, awkward layouts here. The primary suite features an en-suite full bath, plus there is a 2nd full shared hall bathroom. The finished basement adds even more flexibility. There's a bonus room down there that could add a fourth bedroom, work from home space, workout space, or whatever fits your lifestyle. Overall, this is a solid, fully updated home that doesn't feel overdone or generic; just clean, practical, and ready to be lived in. This property is located close to SEPTA's trolley line that runs along Chester Ave with access into Center City. It's also in close proximity to Baltimore Ave with easy access to neighborhood favorites including Vientiane Cafe, Vietnam Cafe, Loco Pez West Philly, Carbon Copy Brewery, Satellite Cafe, and the seasonal pop-up Pentridge Beer Garden opening again soon! This home is also less than a mile from the iconic Clark Park which offers a year-round farmer's market on Saturdays. Vendors sell everything from fruits and veggies to flowers, cheese, honey and fresh baked goods. Don't sleep on this incredible home.
