Property Description

Welcome to 708 Fitzwater Street, beautifully renovated end-unit home in the heart of Bella Vista, perfectly situated in the highly coveted Meredith School Catchment and just steps from picturesque Cianfrani Park. As an end unit, this home is bathed in exceptional natural light rarely found in traditional rowhomes. Adding to its unique character, the side exterior features an iconic three-story mural of jazz legend Eddie Lang, The Father of Jazz Guitar commissioned by the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, making this property a true local landmark. Extensive recent renovations throughout the home create a fresh, seamless, move-in-ready feel, highlighted by updated bathrooms, new windows, new railings, new front stairs, recessed lighting, and the everyday convenience of a ground-floor bathroom. The main living space is expanded by a thoughtfully added fourth bedroom upstairs, while the re-finished basement provides flexible extra living space ideal for a home office, gym, or media room. Outdoor living is where this home truly shines. The crown jewel is a private, beautifully finished roof deck featuring low-maintenance, premium Duradek roofing, a custom pergola for shade, built-in lighting, and sweeping skyline views-an absolute entertainer's dream for morning coffee or sunset gatherings. Downstairs, an updated rear patio offers an additional private outdoor retreat for daily relaxation. The location offers an unmatched Philadelphia lifestyle, situated moments from essential groceries like Whole Foods, Acme, and the iconic Italian Market, as well as renowned neighborhood culinary staples like Saloon, Fitzwater Cafe, Angelo's, and Mawn. Combining historic neighborhood charm, comprehensive modern updates, expansive outdoor spaces, and an unbeatable location, 708 Fitzwater Street stands out as one of Bella Vista's premier addresses.
