Property Description
The main level showcases rich hardwood floors, high ceilings, and an inviting open layout that flows effortlessly from the living area into the dining space and modern kitchen. The kitchen is a true showpiece, highlighted by solid stone countertops, updated cabinetry, and a custom wood-designed ceiling that adds warmth, depth, and architectural detail. Every element combines style and function, creating an ideal space for cooking, entertaining, and everyday living. A brand-new hot water heater provides comfort and efficiency for years to come.
Upstairs, you'll find two well-sized bedrooms that feature very high ceilings, giving the spaces a bright, open, and grand feel. Each bedroom has been recently updated with new ceiling fans and light fixtures, enhancing comfort and adding a touch of modern sophistication. The full bathroom has also been beautifully renovated with a sleek stall shower, stylish tilework, and contemporary fixtures. A brand-new washer and dryer remain with the property, offering added convenience for the new homeowner.
The finished basement provides excellent versatility and can serve as a second living room, home office, gym, or recreation area—an ideal extension of the home's living space. Throughout the property, tall ceilings, neutral colors, and thoughtful updates create a sense of openness, light, and move-in-ready appeal.
Location, location, location! Situated in the heart of Passyunk Square, this home offers unbeatable access to one of Philadelphia's most vibrant and walkable corridors. East Passyunk Avenue is just steps away, lined with some of the city's top dining destinations, cafés, and boutique shops. Local favorites include Cantina Los Caballitos for authentic Mexican fare, Barcelona Wine Bar, Le Virtù, and Bing Bing Dim Sum. The neighborhood also offers cozy coffee shops, bakeries, fitness studios, and locally owned stores that contribute to its distinctive community charm.
Outdoor amenities are abundant, including Columbus Square Park at 12th & Wharton, offering open green space, playgrounds, and recreation areas, as well as the Singing Fountain, a beloved neighborhood landmark and gathering spot. Commuters will appreciate quick access to I-95, I-76, and nearby SEPTA Broad Street Line stations at Tasker-Morris and Ellsworth-Federal, providing easy travel to Center City and beyond.
Passyunk Square is also home to popular annual events that showcase its strong neighborhood spirit, such as the Passyunk Passeggiata summer evening series, East Passyunk Fall Fest, and the South Philly Sausage Fest, all celebrating local food, music, and community.
Combining classic style, modern comfort, and a prime location, 1117 Morris Street offers a rare opportunity to own a truly special South Philadelphia home. With its distinctive design touches—including the custom wood kitchen ceiling—plus updated systems, a finished basement, and proximity to top restaurants and amenities, this property delivers the very best of city living.
