Traditional

Set on a tree-lined block in the heart of Historic Girard Estates, 2513 S. 19th Street delivers the architectural character that makes this neighborhood unlike anywhere else in South Philadelphia, paired with a full modern renovation. The stone facade, columned covered front porch, and decorative wrought iron railings set the tone before you walk through the wood front door. Inside, an open and light-filled main level runs front to back with gleaming hardwood floors throughout, recessed lighting, fresh neutral paint, and a handsome staircase with turned wood treads and ornamental iron balusters. The showpiece is the chef's kitchen at the rear: a wide expanse of custom soft-grey shaker cabinetry — including glass-front uppers and deep drawer banks — topped with quartz counters and finished with a mosaic tile backsplash. A generous center island with an oversized single-bowl undermount stainless sink and gooseneck faucet anchors the space, with a second peninsula providing additional prep and seating surface. Stainless appliances include a gas cooktop under a stainless chimney hood, double wall ovens, French-door refrigerator with in-door water and ice, and dishwasher. Marble-look porcelain tile floors, a recessed tray ceiling, and a bank of windows on two exposures keep the room bright all day. Off the kitchen, an enclosed rear sunroom/mudroom spans the width of the house — a full wall of windows, exposed stone wall, and access to the powder room, with a side entrance out to the rear patio. The fenced rear yard is fully paved for low-maintenance outdoor living, with room for a grill and a table. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, all with the same rich hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, and generous closet space. The front bedroom features an entire wall of built-in closets with custom shelving, drawer, and hanging organizer systems. The rear bedroom enjoys a corner window arrangement with light from two directions. The main bathroom has been renovated to spa standards: a freestanding soaking tub, an oversized frameless glass walk-in shower with rainfall head and handheld wand, floor-to-ceiling marble-look porcelain slab walls, hex mosaic shower floor, dual vessel sinks on a custom vanity with quartz top, and a full-width framed mirror. The finished basement is a genuine third living level, not a storage space — full-height ceilings, tile plank flooring, painted board wainscoting, and recessed lighting throughout. It includes a full bath with stall shower, a dedicated laundry area with newer stacked front-load washer and dryer, a ductless mini-split for year-round comfort, separate utility and storage closets, a cedar closet for seasonal storage, and additional storage space extending under the front porch. Additional features: hot-water radiator heat with attractive enclosed covers, a ductless mini-split serving the finished lower level, window air conditioning on the first floor, replacement windows, side gangway access, and a location one block from Stephen Girard Park and minutes to East Passyunk Avenue's restaurant corridor, Marconi Plaza, the Broad Street Line, FDR Park, the Sports Complex, and I-76/I-95. Homes of this caliber in Girard Estates are rarely available. Schedule your showing today.
