Move into the excitement of East Passyunk! 1220 Emily Street is the perfect home to make yours. This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is a perfect blend of updated features while leaving room for your creativity, offering a rare opportunity to make it feel uniquely yours. Step through the vintage Tofani door, original to Philly homes, it has been lovingly stripped and refinished on the exterior, a beautiful nod to the home’s character and history. The original marble steps are another reminder of the timeless charm that makes this home special. Even as much of the interior has been thoughtfully maintained, there's still room for cosmetic upgrades to personalize the space! Outside, you’ll find a private patio with stoned walls, creating a serene outdoor oasis where you can enjoy the seasons. On quieter evenings, you might even hear the distant excitement from Citizens Bank Park or The Linc during a playoff game—an exhilarating reminder of how close you are to all the action. Inside, the home boasts updated windows that bring in abundant natural light while enhancing energy efficiency. Stay comfortable year-round with central air and heating, powered by natural gas, installed in 2018 and serviced annually for peak performance. A new hot water heater, installed in 2024, further exemplifies the meticulous care this home has received. Living here means being steps away from some of Passyunk Square’s best spots. Ground Up Cafe and Stogie Joe's, two favorites, are just a few blocks away on East Passyunk Avenue. For sports fans, this location is a dream—walking distance to Citizens Bank Park, The Linc, Wells Fargo Center, and Xfinity Live. Imagine celebrating a big Eagles win by joining the crowds on Broad Street, just around the corner! Whether you're starting out or looking for a new chapter, this home has everything you need to create a comfortable and stylish sanctuary. With a little creativity and vision, it’s ready to reflect your personal style while offering a wonderful foundation to build upon. Showings begin Thursday, 12/19, at 8 am. Don’t miss your chance to make this gem your own—just in time to root for the Birds in the Super Bowl!
