About This Home
Welcome to 1538 Christian Street #2, where city living meets affordability without compromise! If you’ve been dreaming of the Rittenhouse vibe but working with a South Philly budget, this is your perfect match—just a 17-minute walk to the square, with quick access to the Broad Street subway, I-95, I-76, and all the stadium action. Everyday essentials are just steps away at Lincoln Square—Sprouts, Target, Starbucks—making life easy and walkable. Inside, this fresh, just-painted condo gives you two true bedrooms (one with an ensuite bath), plus a bonus den that flexes into an office, nursery, or even your yoga zone. Wood floors and an open layout set the stage for entertaining, while stained glass details add historic charm. No endless flights of stairs here—this second-floor home offers convenient one-level living with extra basement storage and street-level trash pickup. The building is relaxed and self-managed with low fees, so you get more bang for your buck and a real community feel. Move right in, start your city life, and make this first home your true home run.
