Welcome to 1325 S Cleveland Street, where easy city living comes with a front-row seat to the neighborhood. Tucked along a tree-lined Point Breeze block, just steps from Graduate Hospital and the Washington Avenue corridor, this spacious home has something particularly special waiting right outside the front door: a charming neighborhood pocket park directly across the street.
A handsome brick facade gives way to a bright, open interior designed for the way you actually want to live. The wide living and dining space is flooded with natural light, with hardwood floors, modern wrought-iron railings, and recessed lighting and practically writes the script for cozy nights in. Picture the sofa piled with friends, dinner on the table, and the kind of game night or Friendsgiving that inevitably lasts much later than planned.
The kitchen keeps everyone in the mix, with a generous island, granite countertops, 42-inch cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a subway tile backsplash with mosaic glass detailing. Just beyond, the private rear yard offers another place to gather, or a quiet spot for that first cup of coffee before the day gets going.
Upstairs, two bright and generously sized bedrooms with soaring ceilings share a modern hall bath. Then the third floor belongs entirely to you. The primary suite feels wonderfully removed from the rest of the house, with a large closet, spacious ensuite bath, and a fully equipped wet bar conveniently positioned between the bedroom and roof deck. Morning coffee upstairs? Easy. Sunset cocktails without trekking down two flights? Even better.
And then there's the roof deck.
Expansive, open to the sky, and boasting panoramic, unobstructed views of the Philadelphia skyline, it's the kind of outdoor space that changes how you use a house. Dinner parties move upstairs. Summer evenings stretch a little longer. Fireworks come to you. And your friends with smaller roof decks may develop a mild case of real estate envy.
Downstairs, the finished basement with a full bath adds the flexibility every city home needs: guest suite, home office, gym, studio, workshop, movie room, or some combination of the above.
Of course, half the fun of living here happens beyond your front door. Point Breeze puts some of South Philly's favorite neighborhood spots within easy reach. Grab coffee and breakfast at Batter & Crumbs, lunch and a craft beer at Dock Street, tacos from Rosario's, or settle into a barstool at beloved American Sardine Bar. And a latke, egg and cheese on a house-made English muffin from Schmaltz? That may very well become a weekend ritual. Sprouts Farmers Market and Rowhouse Grocery make the practical stuff easy, too.
When you want to venture farther, the Ellsworth-Federal stop on SEPTA's Broad Street Line and multiple bus routes make Center City and the stadiums an easy trip. Passyunk Square is just a few blocks away, and Rittenhouse is close enough to make walking there part of the plan.
A pocket park out front, a private yard out back, a skyline overhead, and some of the best of South Philly all around you. At 1325 S Cleveland Street, city living feels pretty easy.
