Property Description
Welcome to 717 Mercy Street, a thoughtfully designed ground-up new-construction single-family home in the heart of East Passyunk Crossing. This home offers a rare combination of space, multiple outdoor areas, a finished basement, and a 10-year tax abatement, all in one of South Philadelphia's most walkable and amenity-rich neighborhoods. The main level features an open and functional layout that flows naturally from the living room through a dedicated dining area and into a modern kitchen designed for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen includes quartz countertops, a large center island, shaker cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, subway tile backsplash, and a full stainless steel appliance package. Just off the kitchen is a private, fenced rear yard, perfect for grilling, hosting, or enjoying outdoor space that is hard to find at this price point. The second floor offers two well-sized bedrooms, a full hall bathroom with soaking tub, and a conveniently located laundry closet. The third floor is dedicated to the primary suite level, providing privacy and separation from the rest of the home. A wet bar with beverage fridge leads directly to the rooftop deck, making this level ideal for entertaining. The primary bedroom includes ample closet space and an en-suite bathroom with a double vanity and oversized walk-in shower. The rooftop deck spans the entire footprint of the home and offers panoramic views of the Philadelphia skyline, stadiums, and surrounding neighborhoods. The finished basement adds valuable flexible living space and includes a full bathroom, making it ideal for a home office, media room, gym, or guest suite, along with additional storage. Additional features include smart home technology, integrated speakers, upgraded lighting, and modern systems throughout. Located just blocks from East Passyunk Avenue, you're within walking distance of some of the city's best dining, coffee shops, boutiques, and neighborhood favorites, including River Twice, Le Virtù, Barcelona Wine Bar, Ember & Ash, Pistolas del Sur, Stogie Joe's Tavern, and multiple cafes and transit options. Some photos have been virtually staged. Schedule your private showing to see how this home truly lives.
