1935 Durfor St

Philadelphia, PA 19145

This perfect starter home in a fantastic location near Girard Park is brimming with charm. The etched glass front door, retro-cool tile vestibule and bathroom, and vintage Kenmore range will have you scouring the Jinxed Instagram for the perfect furniture before the ink is dry on your offer. The sellers have kept the South Philly vibe alive with vibrant paint selections, original wood banister, bifold doors and accents of wood paneling. The combo living/dining area has the remnants of an arch for maintaining designated spaces while keeping the first floor open and bright. Head through the Ogee archway into the adorable kitchen, renovated by the current owner with pale gray Shaker-style cabinets and crisp white appliances in an L-shaped layout with bonus prep space or bar area. At the rear is the former kitchen, which has been turned into a handy mudroom with main-floor laundry, with ample room for storage and a fun black and white tile half-wall surround. The back patio is a sweet oasis with a breezeway for bike or trash storage and the perfect amount of space for a two-top bistro set and grill-what more do you need? The showpiece of the second floor is the bathroom, featuring coral and jade tile half wall and tub surround and complementary patterned floor, which has been making a strong comeback and is #retrorenovation worthy. There are also three nicely sized bedrooms, with the master at the front featuring two large windows, a double-wide closet and connecting door to the middle bedroom, which is currently being used as the ultimate walk-in closet/dressing room. There's plenty more storage space in the basement, and the good ceiling height makes it a candidate for workshop space as well. This West Passyunk home is convenient to tons of neighborhood gems like Taproom on 19th and Kay Kay's Cafe right around the corner, as well as Brewery ARS and the original Nick's Roast Beef just across Passyunk Ave.
