Two bedrooms and a finished basement.

R
ebecca Procopio chose the Passyunk Square two‑bedroom, 1½‑bath home for its pedestrian charm, nearby cafés, and lively atmosphere. After buying it in 2023, she enjoyed watching mosaic artist Isaiah Zagar’s studio from her front porch. “I’ve always been drawn to the unique,” she said, noting both the neighborhood and the house’s openness compared to other options. Her fiancé, Tyler Griffiths, moved in last year, but the pair are now relocating to Chicago where Rebecca will work as a genetic counselor. The 1,036‑sq‑ft, four‑story property—finished basement included—features an open‑concept main level with hardwood floors, exposed brick, and a modern kitchen with marble countertops and stainless‑steel appliances. Two bedrooms offer ample closet space and large windows; the second doubles as a guest room/office. The primary bathroom boasts contemporary ceramic tile and a spacious shower. The basement can serve as a family room, office, gym, or storage, and a washer/dryer are built in. A private outdoor area and convenient public transit complete the listing, priced at $455,000 by Nancy Alperin of Maxwell Realty.
