About this home
Welcome to 647 S. 55th Street, where timeless Philadelphia character has been thoughtfully reimagined for modern living. From the covered front porch to the beautifully renovated interior, this spacious 16-foot-wide home offers an open, light-filled floor plan designed for today's lifestyle.
The main level features high ceilings, wide-plank flooring, recessed lighting, and a striking original staircase that serves as the home's architectural centerpiece. The oversized living room flows effortlessly into the spacious kitchen, complete with shaker-style cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, stylish black fixtures, and a center island perfect for casual dining or entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen, a versatile flex space offers endless possibilities as a dining room, family room, or home office. A convenient powder room and a dedicated first-floor laundry room complete the main level, while the rear patio extends your living space outdoors.
Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, including a private primary suite with its own full bath. A second full hall bath serves the additional bedrooms, and the full unfinished basement provides abundant storage with potential for future finishing.
Ideally situated in Cobbs Creek, you'll enjoy easy access to neighborhood favorites including Booker's Restaurant & Bar, Toast Cafe, and Buna Cafe, as well as Cobbs Creek Park, the Cobbs Creek Shopping Center, and the Route 34 trolley for an easy commute to University City, Center City, and beyond.
Whether you're entertaining friends, working from home, or simply enjoying everyday life, 647 S. 55th Street offers the space, style, and convenience to feel at home from day one....
