There are houses that check boxes, and then there are houses that feel like they were built for the way you actually live. This 2024-built Pennsport row home falls firmly into the second category. From the street, those soaring windows hint at what’s inside. Step through the front door and you’re greeted by a dramatic three-story foyer, setting the tone for the whole home—bright, open, welcoming. Head up to the second floor, and you’ll find the heart of the house: living, dining, and kitchen all flowing together in a way that feels effortless. It’s a space that works for weekday dinners, Sunday brunches, or a quiet night at home. The kitchen is outfitted with Bosch appliances and plenty of prep space, ready for whatever you’re cooking up. With four bedrooms and four full baths, flexibility is the name of the game. Need a home office? Done. Hosting friends or family? Easy. There’s room to spread out without sacrificing comfort. And when you want a little escape, head up to the rooftop deck. Morning coffee as the city wakes up, summer evenings with friends, a little green oasis of container plants are all available, along with a fantastic view of the city skyline. And yes, there’s a two-car garage—something that feels more like treasure than convenience in this part of the city. The basement is finished, with tall ceilings, a Jack and Jill bathroom and a cozy, window lit bedroom made to be perfect space for sleep overs. Living here means more than just the house. Pennsport is one of South Philly’s most beloved neighborhoods for a reason. Dickinson Square Park is just a few blocks away, there are coffee shops where the barista will know your order by week two, and restaurants you’ll still be discovering years from now. It’s walkable, it’s neighborly, and it has that spark of energy that makes city living so good. I-95 is right there when you need to get out of town, and Center City is a quick ride north.
