Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from April 11, 2024
Situated on a quiet and desirable block, 1613 Swain Street is a spacious, renovated townhome drenched in sunlight, filled with charm, and no detail as been overlooked - and it has 5 years remaining on the tax abatement. Immediately upon entering, you’ll notice the width (18’!), the open floor plan, the exposed brick, the oversized windows, and the Brazilian Tigerwood hardwood floors throughout this one-of-a-kind home. The living room and dining area flow right into the updated kitchen with breakfast bar, as well as the convenient powder room and access to the fully finished basement. The fenced in patio with privacy fence beyond the kitchen is ideal for growing a garden or dining al fresco. The second floor is home to a bright bedroom with en suite bath, laundry, and the owner’s suite complete with walk-in closet and luxe full bath. On the third floor, you’ll find 2 additional bedrooms, another full bathroom, and a sitting room or office area that brings you to a balcony with spiral steps to the roof deck. Once on the roof, you’ll enjoy endless views of the Philadelphia skyline, an amazing place to both relax and entertain. Loads of storage space, neutral finishes, steps from the restaurants & shops of Fairmount Ave… move right in to this centrally located (a short walk to The Met, The Divine Lorraine, and just 3 blocks to Septa's Broad Street Line) and well-maintained home, it's the one you've been waiting for!

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love my school. It's extremely supportive and our principle is the best in Philadelphia. He has really turned our school around. Compared to our surrounding schools, I believe our school stands out. We have excellent programs that keeps student busy and off the streets. Our test scores are truly rising. Our teachers really care about our education. They put their all into them lesson plans. Most people would look at our school and see it for what it use to be not what it's become. In my opinion, my school is the best. It's extremely diverse in several ways. Come visit us :)!!!!Student Review13y ago
