Located in Bartram Village, 2240 S 56th Street is a two-bedroom, one-bath townhouse offering approximately 648 square feet of living space on a 1,712-square-foot lot. Built in 1950, the property features a classic brick exterior and a straightforward one-story layout. With a more move-in-ready feel and a partially finished basement, the home offers a manageable footprint for a buyer looking to establish a home in Southwest Philadelphia or an investor seeking an opportunity in an established residential area. The property's lot provides additional outdoor space, while the surrounding neighborhood offers convenient access to public transportation and major Philadelphia roadways. One of the area's biggest attractions is nearby Bartram's Garden, a nearly 50-acre historic park along the Schuylkill River. Residents can enjoy walking and biking trails, riverfront views, gardens, community events, and access to the Bartram's Mile Trail. The neighborhood's proximity to this unique green space gives residents opportunities for outdoor recreation while remaining within the city. Bartram Village is also benefiting from ongoing neighborhood improvements and investment, including plans for new housing, improved public spaces, transportation connections, pedestrian infrastructure, and better connections to Bartram's Garden and the Schuylkill River waterfront. The area is well positioned for continued growth while offering convenient access to the amenities of Southwest Philadelphia and nearby neighborhoods. For buyers looking for a Philadelphia property with convenient access to public transportation, outdoor recreation, and a neighborhood experiencing ongoing revitalization, 2240 S 56th Street is worth a look. 2240 S 56th Street and the neighboring 2242 S 56th Street may also be available for purchase as a package, offering a potential opportunity for buyers or investors interested in acquiring both properties.
