Nestled on a charming side street in the heart of South Philly, you will find 2124 South Bancroft Street. This meticulously maintained home is full of character with all the modern comforts.
Enter the open- concept first floor living space through the utility-friendly air lock complete with subtle but gorgeous black slate inlay. The hardwood floors and high ceilings give the sense of both openness and warmth. The living room features swoon-worthy floor to ceiling built-in bookcases framing the large front window and wainscoting going up the stairs. The first-floor powder room is perfectly sized and situated between the kitchen and living room. In the kitchen, you?ll find butcher block counter top, ceramic tile floors and textured stone backsplash, with a lovely window looking over the back patio. It?s big enough to have a breakfast table or a little office near the open glass back door. Just beyond the kitchen is the yard with a semi- enclosed private covered seating area as well as room to garden and grill.
Upstairs you?ll find 2 spacious bedrooms with lovely original hardwood floors and plenty of natural light. There is also a cedar closet upstairs for storing clothing and linens. The bathroom is an oasis?large, spa-like and serene, the perfect location for your plant collection. If you weren?t a bath person before you will be now because you?ll never want to leave this bathroom!
With central air, 200 amps of electrical service, and a brand-new roof, this is a move-right-in kind of house. The unfinished basement is deep and dry and has laundry. There is a newer HVAC system installed in 2009, freshly serviced in 2022. The bricks were re-pointed in 2007, stucco was painted in 2019. The water heater and stove were both new in 2019. Someone has loved this home and kept it very well, and now it is ready to be enjoyed by a new owner.
