With easy access to both center city and ample green spaces, and situated just blocks from the Art Museum, Boathouse Row, and all the shops and restaurants along Fairmount Ave, this property isn't simply a home- it's a lifestyle. The route 15/G Trolley to Fishtown and access to interstate-76 are also just minutes away, giving you full freedom to roam. Embrace this unique opportunity while it knocks, it won't linger long!
