For this week’s SoPhilly Spotlight, we trudge to the the fringe area of 7th and Wharton (1302 S. 7th St.) halfway between East Passyunk and Pennsport. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath house is a fine specimen of a South Philly rehab and well worth $279,000. New everything, roof deck, Brazilian hardwood, dual zone HVAC, eight years left of a tax abatement in 1,346 square feet. Small rooms, but still…

| They are nice floors |

| The one on the right. We bet that neighbor doesn’t know he’s online |
Retreat to the 3rd floor and enjoy the luxury of the Master Bedroom Suite with Large Custom Tiled Master Bathroom in your own private quarters. This Penthouse Escape also comes with a walk out roof deck to enjoy a relaxing night in The City. This home also offers a Large Family or Entertainment Theatre Room in finished basement for entertaining. The basement is protected by a French Drain and Sump Pump System.
Ooh, private quarters, Theatre Room. Maybe “The City” sounds more elite in a reader’s head than “the city.” But what does this mean?
This house is 95% GREEN and environmentally friendly.
Is the remaining 5 percent a coal mine or something?

| Not bad, maybe a little tight |
 |
| Is that the master? No other bedroom pics, so it must be |
 |
| They really like the overhead shots |
 |
| Could be a sweet TV room/office |
A helpful suggestion: get to know the local civic associations and their boundaries. 7th and Wharton is squarely in Passyunk Square, but nearing Dickinson Narrows.
Our mistake. We thought the boundaries ended at 8th, not 6th. Thanks
