Property Description

Located in Bartram Village, 2242 S 56th Street is a two-bedroom, one-bath townhouse offering approximately 648 square feet of living space on a 1,712-square-foot lot. Built in 1950, the home features traditional masonry construction and a compact, efficient layout. The property needs TLC and presents an opportunity for a buyer or investor to customize the space and make it their own. With its manageable footprint and potential for updates, it offers an opportunity for someone looking to establish a home in Southwest Philadelphia or for an investor seeking a property with potential. The property also offers on-street parking and convenient access to public utilities.

Beyond the property itself, the location provides easy access to public transportation and major roadways throughout Philadelphia. The home is situated near Bartram's Garden, a nearly 50-acre historic park along the Schuylkill River, where residents can enjoy walking and biking trails, riverfront views, gardens, community events, and access to the Bartram's Mile Trail.

Bartram Village and the surrounding Southwest Philadelphia area continue to see neighborhood investment and revitalization, with efforts focused on new housing, public spaces, pedestrian infrastructure, transportation connections, and stronger connections to the Schuylkill River waterfront. The area's combination of established residential streets, green space, transit access, and proximity to major Philadelphia corridors makes it an appealing location for buyers looking for value and future potential.

Whether you're looking for a manageable two-bedroom home with room for customization or an investment opportunity in an evolving Philadelphia neighborhood, 2242 S 56th Street offers a chance to build value while enjoying the accessibility and outdoor amenities of Southwest Philadelphia. 2240 S 56th Street and the neighboring 2242 S 56th Street may also be available for purchase as a package, offering a potential opportunity for buyers or investors interested in acquiring both properties.
