Located on Locust Ave. in Philadelphia's Germantown section, 543 Locust Ave. is a spacious 2.5-story twin offering four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a layout full of potential. The main level features an open concept with exposed brick walls in the living room, a breakfast room, kitchen, and a rear enclosed shed that leads to a fenced backyard-offering plenty of opportunity for outdoor enjoyment. Upstairs, the second floor includes three well-proportioned bedrooms and a full hall bathroom, while the third floor serves as a private primary suite with its own full bath. The large basement provides ample storage and includes a half bathroom. A shared driveway leads to a detached one-car garage, offering off-street parking and additional functionality.
