Property Description

Welcome to 2418 S. 22nd Street - Girard Estates Built in 1960, this exceptional mid-century, extra-wide twin sits on a remarkable 38-by-120-foot lot, an extraordinary find in South Philadelphia. Wider than most twins in the neighborhood, this lovingly maintained home is in pristine condition, reflecting decades of thoughtful care. Major systems, mechanicals, windows, roofing, electrical, and extensive hardscaping have been updated, offering added peace of mind while preserving the home's timeless character. With the space, square footage, and comfort often associated with suburban living, exceptional storage throughout, and expansive outdoor areas, this is a truly unique opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds. The parking is just as impressive. The driveway accommodates three vehicles, while the oversized detached two-car garage provides two additional spaces-for a total of five off-street parking spaces. An installed Tesla EV charging station and additional garage storage add even more convenience. Imagine morning coffee on your private hardscaped patio, summer evenings entertaining in the garden, and your dog enjoying the fenced backyard. With expansive front, side, and rear yards, and Stephen Girard Park directly across the street, outdoor living becomes part of everyday life. Inside, high ceilings, beautifully restored original hardwood floors, timeless architectural details, and abundant natural light create warmth and character that cookie-cutter new construction simply cannot replicate. The twin-home design offers additional side windows, while spacious living and dining rooms provide inviting spaces for everyday living and memorable gatherings. The kitchen features granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a professional-grade Viking range, and a hand-painted mural inspired by Southern Italy that adds personality and charm. Upstairs, three bedrooms offer a comfortable, functional layout with abundant closet space. The primary suite features a private ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet, while two additional bedrooms share a second full bathroom-ideal for family members, guests, or a home office. The finished, high-ceilinged walk-out basement offers valuable additional space, with a separate rear entrance and endless possibilities for a media room, home gym, office, or potential in-law suite. With storage areas and closets in the basement, generous bedroom closets, and additional storage in the oversized garage, there is room for everything. Set in beloved Girard Estates, this home offers tree-lined streets, residential charm, and a strong sense of community. With Stephen Girard Park directly across the street and convenient access to I-76, I-95, the Walt Whitman Bridge, Philadelphia International Airport, and the city's major sports complexes, you can enjoy a more relaxed pace at home while staying connected to everything Philadelphia has to offer. This is more than a home with a big lot. It is a rare opportunity to enjoy the space and freedom of suburban living with the convenience of the city. From its distinctive character and expansive outdoor areas to its updated major systems, abundant storage, and five off-street parking spaces, this lovingly maintained home offers a combination that is increasingly difficult to find in South Philadelphia. Forget cookie-cutter. Choose character. Choose space. Choose community. Choose Girard Estates.
