This is a very special little house, with ample work space and great light, hardwood floors throughout -- a 100 year gem with many original details. The space is ideal for a couple, small family or 2 person share, as the bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house.

Just off the historic 52nd Street corridor, the house is located in the heart of West Philly and a short hop from Penn's main campus and hospitals. I've clocked 7 minutes in a car from Penn's campus; probably 15 minutes by bike There is on-street parking, and a bus into /out of Central Philadelphia stops right on the corner. 5 minutes by bike or car from West Philly's food coop, lots of good food options nearby.

--There are two large primary bedrooms (about 300 sq feet).

--There is a small office, which might also be used a third bedroom.

--The common areas (first floor living, dining) are lightly furnished with a dining table, dining chairs, and sofa.

--Dishwasher and washer/dryer; highly effective window air-conditioner that cools the entire first floor.

--Alarm and door camera.

--Wifi.

--Kitchen is equipped with some basic cookware, dishes, and daily tools.

--Bath and powder rooms are newly renovated, featuring claw foot tub and walk-in shower, handmade shelves, new tile floors.

--Lovingly planned, professionally tended garden. The yard and patio are big enough for a cafe table and grill.

--Monthly cleaning (can be included in rent or paid directly to provider).

--Huge amount of storage space in the basement.

About This Lister

I am a Penn professor, writer, and single parent, the owner of the house and have been an occupant of one of the bedrooms, but I live mostly in New York. I grew up in Philadelphia and know it VERY well. I love this house! My schedule has changed, so it is time for someone to enjoy it full-time.

I am very clean, love plants, art and bathrooms.
