Let’s give some love to East Mt. Airy! I’m digging this cute-as-a-button 2-bedroom, 1-bath home. A bit north of our normal hangouts, it’s a sweet deal on a sweet suburban street for a commuter or anyone working in North Philly. Built 100 years ago, this home has been remodeled down to the studs! You get all that 1914 charm with […]

So, I was browsing potentially listings for WTPhilly, as I usually do on Mondays, and I opted to mix it up a little bit this week. Maybe it’s the swelter of August crushing my will to get catty about janktastic real estate, but I’m playing nice today. So, we all know that Center City real estate is expensive. Shopping for […]

Sometimes I come across a home that makes my heart go pitter-patter, but isn’t quite a fit for the CENTERfold. For everything else, there’s Major House Crush. My current MHC is a little bite of Bohemian heaven on Bread Street. It’s a fantastic 2/2 corner loft penthouse located in the always-desirable National. Eastern and southern exposures give one eyepopping vistas […]

Here in Center City particularly, we are blessed with a significant number of lovingly-preserved historic buildings. Many of them were built in the years preceding the second World War which, starting in the 1920s, were the Golden Age of […]

I’ve got a total soft spot for little jewel boxes of homes. One great example is this completely precious little 1/1 in Washington Square West, in the highly-desired Robert Quay condominiums. Seriously, I’m twitterpated. At 1,154 square feet, 1035 Spruce St #LL2 is a mighty roomy little flat with charm to spare. It’s located on the garden level, its tall […]

When you hear or read that a home needs “some updates,” what do you picture? I’m a fairly reasonable person, and imagine a place that has some outdated wallpaper, or maybe a bit of yucky carpet. The places with 1980s mirrors everywhere or 1990s white cabinets with oak trim fall under this header, I reckon. Know what isn’t a simple […]
