3830 Berkley Avenue Apartment

Tucked on a quiet Drexel Hill block, this second-floor apartment sits in a classic brick twin and lives larger than the floor plan suggests. You come up the stairs into a simple, workable layout: a bright living room across the front of the house, an... eat-in kitchen a few steps away, and a short hall that leads to the bath and both bedrooms.
Hardwood floors run through the living room and bedrooms. The living room is the kind of space that actually holds a sofa and a table — roughly sixteen by fifteen, with two windows and a ceiling fan. The primary bedroom stretches back along the side of the house; the second bedroom is smaller but still a real room, not a leftover. Both have ceiling fans and decent light.
The kitchen is compact and honest about it. White cabinets, a granite-look counter, subway tile, a black gas range, and a stainless fridge. Enough counter to cook without feeling cramped. The bath keeps the original cream-and-black tile, a tub with shower, and a small vanity — vintage, not newly gutted.
Out back, off the alley, there is a garage and off-street parking, which is the detail that matters on a street like this. Electric & Gas are PECO; water is Aqua.
The location does the rest of the work. Drexel Hill is about eight miles from Center City — close enough that the trolley is useful, far enough that you still get a yard and a driveway. Marshall Road and Creek Road on the 101/102 are a short walk; 69th Street puts you on the El. Groceries and a slice are on Burmont and Garrett. Springfield Mall is a quick drive. Garrett Park is nearby, and Pilgrim Park and Indian Rock sit along Darby Creek if you want more room to walk. Delaware County Memorial Hospital is a few minutes away.
A clean two-bedroom walk-up with a garage, parking off the alley, and an easy hop to the trolley. Ready to show. The tenant will pay a flat $80 monthly fee for water. There is also a $ 15-a-month resident benifit program fee. Read More
