Property Description

Welcome to 1942 S 56th Street, a beautifully renovated home that blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates in the heart of Kingsessing. Step inside to a bright, inviting main level featuring warm hardwood floors and a cozy fireplace that anchors the living space, along with a convenient first-floor half bath perfect for guests.

The heart of the home is the fully remodeled kitchen, updated with fresh finishes and functional design that make everyday cooking and entertaining a pleasure. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms offer flexible living for families, roommates, or a home office setup, complemented by an updated full bathroom.

The lower level offers additional flexible space, including a rec room with an electric fireplace, an additional bonus room, and a full bathroom — along with direct backyard access for added everyday convenience. The fenced private backyard beyond offers a peaceful retreat for outdoor dining, gardening, or simply unwinding after a long day.

Situated in the heart of the 19143 zip code on the border of Kingsessing and Southwest Philadelphia, this home keeps you effortlessly connected — just steps from trolley lines for an easy commute to University City and Center City, with easy access to Bartram's Garden, local parks, and the shops and restaurants along Woodland and Baltimore Avenues. Plenty of on-street parking rounds out the convenience this location has to offer.

Offering three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a versatile lower-level rec space, and quality updates throughout, this move-in-ready home is a rare find for owner-occupants and investors alike. Schedule your tour today.
