1246 S 16th St

Here's a South Philly classic -- high ceilings, defined rooms, and just the right mix of original charm and practical updates. This lovely layout actually gives you separate rooms to live in -- not one big, echoey box. Step through the vestibule, featuring natural slate and a frosted-glass, mid-century-style door, into a proper living room with crown molding and a playful pink mantel. The dining room has space for that amazing table you've been holding onto -- the one too big for your last place but too beautiful to part with. The eat-in kitchen offers plenty of cabinets and a spot that practically begs for a counter-height, pub-style table. There's even a laundry area and a full bath on the first floor, plus a sweet little rear patio with blooming lilacs and raised garden beds where you can flex your green thumb. Upstairs: brand-new carpet, high ceilings, and three roomy bedrooms -- the front one features two big windows and three closets. The basement is unfinished but dry, with 75 inch ceiling height and lots of potential for storage, a home gym, or your next DIY project. Out front, a crimson-leafed maple shades the handsome Victorian-inspired cornice, rosettes, and detailed stone lintels -- a standout on the block. Location-wise, you're just a 6-minute walk to the Broad Street Line at Ellsworth-Federal and 10 minutes to Lincoln Square's Target, Sprouts, and Giant. You're also close to Columbus Square Park (dog park included!) and the East Passyunk dining scene -- perfect for a casual passeggiata (IYKYK). This one feels like home the moment you walk in.
