Property Description

Welcome to 1125-27 Arrott Street, a rare and impressive detached home in the Northwood section of Philadelphia, situated on an oversized parcel with nearly 3,000 square feet of above-grade living space and a truly exceptional yard. This grand home offers size, classic character, flexibility, and long-term potential that is difficult to find in the city. Step inside through the double-door entry into a spacious center hall featuring original woodwork, high ceilings, a beautiful staircase, decorative glass details, and large sun-filled rooms. The main level offers a generous living room, formal dining room, and a spacious kitchen ready for the next owner’s personal updates. Just beyond the kitchen is a large butler’s pantry, a convenient laundry area, and access to the screened-in porch, creating an easy connection to the outdoor living space and expansive backyard. The second floor features three large bedrooms, including two front bedrooms and a large rear bedroom. This level also includes an updated full bathroom with a modern walk-in shower, plus an additional hall bath with a clawfoot tub, adding both character and functionality. A rear staircase near the updated bathroom provides secondary access down to the kitchen area, a classic and convenient feature that enhances the home’s flow. One of the standout features of this home is the large third floor, featuring new windows installed in 2026 and offering excellent potential for additional finished living space, a future primary suite, home office, studio, recreation area, or possibly two additional bedrooms. The unfinished basement provides storage and utility space. The rear yard is a major highlight, offering a screened-in porch, mature landscaping, garden areas, and plenty of room to entertain, relax, or enjoy a private outdoor setting. It also features a hot tub area set on a platform over newly installed pavers, adding another unique outdoor feature for the next owner to enjoy. For the homeowner with vision, this is a rare opportunity to create an estate-style residence within the city, offering the space, privacy, and outdoor setting to feel like a true retreat. The oversized yard, screened porch, mature landscaping, garden space, and hot tub setup create the foundation for a private outdoor oasis with room to relax, entertain, garden, and enjoy. While ideal for an owner-occupant looking for a one-of-a-kind Northwood home, the property’s size, layout, and 1125-27 address may also be enticing for a savvy investor exploring possibilities such as a multi-unit conversion, room rental strategy, house-hacking setup, or other long-term flexible use. Any desired future use, conversion, rental use, zoning change, permits, licenses, or approvals are the sole responsibility of the buyer and should be independently verified with the City of Philadelphia.
