Property Description
Welcome to 2938 Nicholas Street-where thoughtful design meets the character and charm of Brewerytown living. Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined block, this beautifully renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a refreshing alternative to the ordinary. This house comes with a REDUCED RATE as low as 5.99% (APR 6.231%) as of 03/27/2026 through List & Lock™. This is a seller paid rate-buydown that reduces the buyer's interest rate and monthly payment. Terms apply, see disclosures for more information. A spacious front porch sets the tone, providing the perfect setting for morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day. Inside, you're greeted by warm wood flooring, an open-concept layout, and an abundance of natural light that fills the home from front to back. The inviting living and dining areas are enhanced by recessed lighting and offer ample space for both relaxing and entertaining. The kitchen is a standout, featuring custom cabinetry, striking live-edge wood shelving, and a full suite of newer appliances. Double doors open to a private rear patio-ideal for outdoor dining or hosting guests. Upstairs, wide floating stairs lead to two generously sized bedrooms and a beautifully appointed full bath. The bathroom showcases a walk-in shower, a sliding antique-style door, and a one-of-a-kind vanity crafted from a repurposed antique desk. The front bedroom offers bay windows, a walk-in closet, and custom built-ins, while the rear bedroom is equally bright and spacious. The finished lower level adds valuable living space with high ceilings, a full bathroom with tub, and a new washer and dryer. Whether used as a guest suite, home office, or fitness area, this flexible space adapts to your needs. Fully renovated down to the studs in 2019, the home offers modern systems and finishes throughout, along with approximately 3+ years remaining on the tax abatement. Ideally located just minutes from Fairmount Park, Girard Avenue's vibrant dining and shopping scene, and convenient access to I-76, this home delivers both tranquility and connectivity in one of Philadelphia's most dynamic neighborhoods.
