Basement
It also has a finished basement that makes a great rec room, media room or home office.
And then there’s this: It has a one-car garage.
Given its location on one of those little back streets, this makes it a particularly enticing house for those who own a car. But with so many great restaurants, shops, and SEPTA mass transit all within walking distance, those folks may find that their cars spend most of their time in that garage.
