706 Salter St

Located on a quiet, tree-lined Bella Vista block just steps from the Italian Market and less than a block from the beloved Fleisher Art Memorial, 706 Salter Street offers charm, light, flexibility, and meaningful updates in one of Philadelphia's most vibrant neighborhoods. With year-round exhibitions, community events, and accessible art programming, Fleisher is a true neighborhood treasure and a special part of daily life in Bella Vista. This one-bedroom, one-bath home lives larger than expected, with an open-concept second floor that offers excellent separation and the potential to recreate a two-bedroom layout if desired. The current bedroom area spans approximately 14 feet wide and features generous closet space, creating a comfortable and airy retreat. Just beyond, the former second bedroom has been opened into a lovely lounge area, perfect for reading, relaxing, or additional living space. An office nook with sliding glass doors leads to a private balcony, filling the upper level with beautiful southern light. The kitchen was thoughtfully renovated in 2012 with custom cabinetry and timeless finishes, creating a warm and welcoming centerpiece of the home. The bathroom remains true to the home's South Philadelphia heritage, showcasing its classic vintage character. Recent improvements include a new roof in 2020, new heating system in 2020, sewer pipe replacement to the street in 2025, new garbage disposal in 2026, washer replacement in 2022, and a replaced rear deck in 2019. Bella Vista is known for its neighborhood feel, walkability, parks, restaurants, and everyday conveniences. Enjoy being close to the Italian Market, Di Bruno Bros., Anthony's Coffee, Sabrina's Cafe, Fitzwater Cafe, Royal Tavern, Famous John's Water Ice, South Street, Broad Street, Center City, and easy access to I-95 and I-76.
