What This House Offers
Property Id: 2862305
** Interested in seeing this house at your convenience, possibly even on short notice? Please call or email us from this listing. We'll try to accommodate your schedule. **
** Because of the size of the second bedroom... it's small and at best will accommodate a full size bed... this house probably is best-suited for a couple sharing the master bedroom or a solo renter. It
COULD work for two people sharing, if one person is ok with a small bedroom and/or you're planning to split the rent unevenly. **
We've just completed a whole house renovation of this classic South Philly/Pennsport 2-bedroom house. Be the first to move in, and you'll have an updated kitchen, bathroom, hardwood and Italian porcelain tile flooring, central air, LARGE outdoor paved patio and more!
