About 1408 S 9th St

Welcome to this immaculate and thoughtfully updated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in the heart of Passyunk Square. With a perfect balance of original charm and modern updates, this move-in ready home is filled with natural light from three exposures and offers both space and flexibility across four finished levels. Step into the tiled foyer and you’re greeted by a bright and spacious first floor with soaring 10-foot ceilings, refinished original parquet wood floors, and a decorative fireplace surround. The layout is ideal for both entertaining and everyday living, with a natural flow from the sitting area to the formal dining room, breakfast room, and kitchen. Just off the kitchen, a private back patio offers space for grilling, relaxing, and additional storage. The second floor includes two generously sized bedrooms with hardwood floors, a hallway full bath, and a convenient laundry zone tucked into the rear bedroom. The front bedroom includes a bonus ensuite room, perfect for a home office, gym, playroom, or walk-in closet—this space also has plans available to convert it into a full bathroom if desired. Upstairs, the third floor features two additional bedrooms, a half bath, and walk-out access to the roof—ideal for a future roof deck with city views. The brightly lit finished basement adds even more flexible space, with tile floors, a full bathroom with a shower, and plenty of room for a media room, home gym, workshop, or storage. This home has been carefully upgraded with a new roof, full electrical rewiring, new HVAC with heat pump, fresh paint, custom baseboards and crown molding, and ample closet space throughout. Located on a vibrant block with easy parking in the PPA lot directly across the street, this home is just steps from all the best of Passyunk Square—award-winning restaurants, neighborhood cafés, boutiques, parks, and convenient transit options.
