Property Description
Welcome to 2501 Alden St—a charming and versatile corner lot property in Southwest Philadelphia! This 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers incredible potential for customization, including the opportunity to convert the basement into a 3rd bedroom and the half bath into a full bath.
Step inside to discover natural hardwood floors and a beautifully covered porch, perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The efficient kitchen boasts a 5-burner gas range and stylish tile backsplash, while the spacious dining and living rooms are ideal for gatherings. The property features updated electric service, newer central air, and a newer hot water heater for your convenience.
One of the standout features of this location is its proximity to Bartram's Garden, the nation's oldest surviving botanical garden. Just minutes away, you can explore 50 acres of lush greenery, riverfront trails, and gardens steeped in history. Whether you're enjoying a relaxing walk, kayaking along the Schuylkill River, or participating in community events and workshops, Bartram's Garden provides a serene escape and vibrant hub for outdoor activities—all right in your neighborhood!
Adding to the appeal is the ongoing Bartram Village revitalization project, a transformative effort to create a vibrant, mixed-income community just around the corner. This $250 million redevelopment will feature over 600 new housing units, retail spaces, community centers, and improved access to public transportation and green spaces. With the first phase set to begin in 2024, the area is poised to become one of Philadelphia's most exciting neighborhoods.
The exterior of the home is fully fenced for added privacy and includes the rare bonus of off-street parking—the only property on the block with this feature! Additional highlights include an electric dryer and ample potential to make this home your own.
Located close to shops, public transportation, and neighborhood amenities, this property is a must-see. Schedule your showing today and imagine the possibilities!
