1115 S 7Th St, Philadelphia, PA 19147

Description

Classic Philadelphia character meets polished city living at 1115 S 7th Street, a renovated 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath brick rowhome at the convergence of East Passyunk, Bella Vista, and Queen Village. Built in 1915 the home was thoughtfully updated in 2019. This 1,056 sq ft home retains the texture and charm of an early 20th-century rowhome while adding the finishes and systems that support everyday comfort. The original vestibule sets the tone with vintage tile wainscoting, opening into a bright living and dining area with original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, classic plaster walls, recessed lighting, and large front-facing windows with leafy views. The main level is open and connected with a natural flow from the living and dining area to the kitchen and rear patio. Historic details from the entry tile, wood floors, and plaster walls add depth, while the updated finishes keep the home bright and fresh.
The kitchen brings a clean, modern look with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, ceramic tile flooring, tiled backsplash, white cabinetry, and a rear window overlooking the outdoor space. Just beyond the kitchen, the private patio extends the living space with room for grilling, seating, planters, and seasonal outdoor dining. This outdoor area creates a cozy place for morning coffee, al fresco meals, or an evening beverage. An updated first-floor powder room adds convenience without taking space away from the main living areas. The home is also available fully furnished, offering a streamlined turnkey move-in option while preserving the flexibility to style the space over time.
Upstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms offer natural light and custom closet space. The full bathroom has a refined black-and-white design with a large tiled walk-in shower, custom vanity, storage closet, and skylight that brings in soft natural light. Recent meaningful improvements add value and confidence, including updated electrical and copper water service in 2019, plus a new boiler, new roof, and a new bathroom skylight all done in 2023. Those practical updates, with the modern kitchen and bathrooms blend seamlessly with the home’s retained architectural character, creating a thoughtful balance of historic charm and modern living across two levels. The layout is efficient and comfortable, with open living spaces on the first floor, a generous main bathroom to accompany the two bedrooms, and plenty of storage space in the basement.
The location is a major part of the appeal, just blocks from the Italian Market and minutes from the restaurants, cafés, boutiques, and neighborhood energy of East Passyunk, Bella Vista and Queen Village, with Center City also within easy walking distance. With historic detail, modern updates, and a well-situated Philadelphia location, this classic rowhome offers a refined way to enjoy all the city has to offer.
