SoPhilly Spotlight: ‘Newbold meets Passyunk Square’ edition
This week’s SoPhilly Spotlight is a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home that the listing calls “Newbold meets Passyunk Square” due to the home’s relatively close proximity to Passyunk Square and East Passyunk Crossing.
Located at 1643 S. 15th St., this home has 2,500 sq. ft. of living space and is currently on the market for $390,000.

I would expect a much higher end rehab for that $ in that location. Also, is that roof access legal?
Strange–no dishwasher.
Why in the world should this house be a ‘spotlight’?? Is the intention to highlight the extremely poor quality of the renovation or perhaps the laughable price this contractor is trying to get? I’d rather see a column about an actual spotlight fixture than this. gotta up your game…just sayin…
Might have been a spotlight if someone had rehabbed it actually preserving just a tiny bit of the character of the house instead of getting whatever fixtures and appliances were on special along Washington Avenue that day.
I agree – the fridge and hood are stainless steel – yet the stove is white. The ceiling lights in the bedrooms cost $22.97 at Home Depot, and the facade is sad looking. $390,000 – good luck with that.
I guess the price point is related to the square footage, it’s quite large. But that house looks like crap. Must have been on a tight rehab budget.
Property was purchased for 45k in 2013 if the property records are to be believed. Pretty extreme profit margin they are trying to exact, given the price. Also, roof access to a mod-bit roof that is likely not load-bearing in any capacity could be trouble long-term.
Outrageous price !!!
