2317 S 17TH ST Philadelphia, PA 19145

A total South Philly special, this gem of a property has tons of personality and potential. Currently set up as a dentist's office on the first floor with a one-bedroom apartment upstairs, this 16-foot-wide property could be turned into a spacious single-family home or possibly converted into a duplex. The shared entrance has mint green tile floors, a unique stained glass accent and original five-paneled door with privacy glass. The apartment upstairs features original hardwood floors, high ceilings, decorative archways and a perfectly preserved retro-cool kitchen complete with mint green Jamestown steel cabinets, Formica countertops and vintage Ultramatic Caloric stove. The bathroom has an old-school yellow tile wall and tub surround with yellow and white hex tile floors. The awesome throwback vibe continues downstairs in the office with wood paneling, linoleum floors and arched windows and doorways. There's already a half bath on this level, and with high ceilings and large windows throughout, the open floorplan of your dreams could be just a renovation loan away. There's a big back patio for grilling and container gardens, while the basement goes on for days, allowing plenty of room for storage, laundry and a home workshop or even the potential to finish for added living space. On a tree-lined block in Girard Estates, this property is close to East Passyunk Ave with its world-famous dining hotspots, as well as neighborhood favorites Taproom on 19th, Nick's Original Roast Beef and Melrose Diner. There's also community greenspace nearby at Marconi Plaza and FDR Park.
