SoPhilly Spotlight: ‘Move in comfortably and upgrade over time’ edition
This week’s SoPhilly Spotlight is a Passyunk Square home with great bones to build upon over time.
With a little TLC, this 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 1,720 sq. ft. house located at 1502 S. 10th St. could become the home you’ve been searching for. This house is currently on the market for $399,000.

GRACIOUS & SPACIOUS 3 Story Brown Stone & Brick Townhouse in Passyunk Square!
This is a solid house with “good bones”. You can move in comfortably and upgrade over time.
The first floor features a tile foyer entry to a sunny living room with faux fireplace and columns, an open dining room, powder room and white-on-white, eat-in Kitchen with door to a private yard for grilling & summer dining.
The upper floors offer 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths including a 3rd floor master suite. A small walk in closet on second floor is ideal for a laundry room.
The full, unfinished basement offers great storage. 1502 is a short stroll to Passyunk Avenue and all the shops and restaurants.
Word to the wise: if you want to modernize that yellow bathroom, get that tub reglazed, don’t just pull it out. Corner tubs like that cost a ton.
Yes! Also, I just love that bathroom, it’s great.
Having just gone through this, it looks like it needs about 100K . Putting in the HVAC is probably the biggest thing but from the date of the kitchen and baths, my guess is there is knob and tube still that will need to be replaced to get a loan.
Still at 499K you’d have a fantastic place in a terrace location. I just hope someone buys it for themselves because a flipper is just going to make the whole darn thing gray.
