Walk the dog over to the Dickinson Square park. Bring the little ones to the new playground area. Stop by Grindcore House vegan coffeehouse to have a cup with your new neighbors. The civic association is very active. Plenty of great restaurants, Industry and Moonshine are getting rave reviews. You will love being able to go to the movies and shopping just a few blocks east. HomeDepot, Lowe's and BestBuy are minutes away. Access to 95 and 76 plus both bridges to NJ.
This lovely property is nestled in Dickinson Square, just south of Queen Village, west of Pennsport and east of Passyunk Square. Walk 2 block to Septa and be in center city in minutes. Hospitals and local doctors are within a short walk. With a WalkScore of 88, this is one of the storied neighborhoods of the city. You can walk to the 2nd Street Mummers Parade on New Year's Day. The Riverview Movie Complex and HomeDepot, Superfresh, Lowes. You can walk to the new CrossFit and get the best workout of your life. These guys are no joke.
From the Seller:
"... The neighborhood is close to downtown-so you can ride your bike. There is street parking-which is rare in Philly. I didn't want to have to fix a house. I was a single mom(who got married while living in this house) who wanted something that wouldn't cost $ repairs all the time. Walking distance to Target and the new coffee house is nice. I fell in love with the neighborhood. The rough exterior is a disguise, the people became my family. Even now I cry thinking about selling that house. The part of me it represents-and the people that protected and loved me. John could confirm that if I could move back tomorrow it would take me 20 minutes to pack and I would be on the road. I still think about Philly as home. That's what I miss. You are looking for someone who is rough around the edges. Someone that wants to be connected with the community. Someone who likes tea parties with 4 year old children and someone who tries to integrate into the community-once they accept you-they become part of you-forever.
I hope that helps...."The Jack Barry Group helps you find home, helps sellers find buyers and developers find property. Born here in 1962, lived in 7 neighborhoods, we know Philly. Do you know JACK about real estate?
