Description

**Girard Estates end-unit, 2 blocks off Broad**
Right in the Girard Estates/Melrose pocket, just 2 blocks off Broad, this end-unit is ready for its next owner. It's a 3 bed, 1 bath with 1,324 finished sq ft, and at 14' wide it's a little roomier than the typical row. The updates are clean and contemporary, and the original stair rail, entry door, and address plate are still here.
The kitchen has a fresh green and white look, redone in 2021 with new cabinets, flooring, and a counter-depth Whirlpool fridge. Since then it's gotten a 2025 Frigidaire gas range (convection and air fry) and a brand new Miele dishwasher. Hickory hardwood floors run throughout, and the washer and dryer are included and recently serviced.
The behind-the-scenes stuff is handled too. There's a new Crown boiler, an AO Smith water heater (2024), and a first-floor Friedrich A/C (2021), with window units upstairs included. The rear stucco was professionally repaired and painted.
The basement has decent ceiling height, and because this is an end-unit and a bit wider than most, it feels more spacious than you'd expect. The walls were recently parged and sealed and the floor was freshly poured and sealed in the past year. The walls are already solid and usable, so you can leave it as is or finish it however you like.
Out back is a good-sized yard, and being an end-unit gives you extra room and light.
The location covers the basics: I-95 and I-76 are easy to hop on, and Oregon Ave shops and restaurants, Packer Park, and the stadiums are all close.
New to the neighborhood? You'll love it here. Heavy Metal Butcher is amazing, the 2 bus is steps away, and the Broad Street Line at Oregon gets you to Center City fast. St. Monica and Children's House Montessori are both nearby too.
