At the back of the home, the renovated kitchen shines with sleek tile floors, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances. Upstairs, two spacious 13' by 11' bedrooms each feature ceiling fans and plush carpeting. The front bedroom includes a full closet, while the rear bedroom offers access to a versatile bonus room - perfect as a walk-in closet, office, or cozy retreat.

Situated on a quiet one-block stretch of North Myrtlewood, this home benefits from limited traffic yet remains conveniently close to transit and Center City.

Less than half a mile away, Fairmount Park offers ball fields, tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds including Smith Memorial Playground, a driving range, disc golf, and the Discovery Center at East Park Reservoir. Thinking about buying for the first time? This home is an excellent candidate for first-time buyer loan programs and down payment assistance through the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA). PHFA offers competitive interest rates, low fees, 30-year fixed terms, and programs that can help with down payment and closing costs - making homeownership more accessible than many renters realize. With comparable two-bedroom rentals in the area going for $1,100-$1,600/month, owning here could mean building equity at a similar monthly cost. Learn more at phfa.org/homebuyers.
