Own it for less than rent. With first-time buyer loan programs and down payment assistance potential through PHFA, owning this home may be more within reach than you think. Welcome to 2316 N Myrtlewood Street — a beautifully updated two-story rowhome in Strawberry Mansion offering 840 square feet of finished living space at $150,000. Step inside to a bright and inviting living room where fresh paint and in-floor radiant heating mean warm floors and consistent comfort throughout the colder months. Beyond the staircase, a flexible dining area connects to a convenient first-floor hall bathroom with stylish tile flooring, as well as a smartly placed laundry nook with room for a stackable washer and dryer. At the back of the home, the renovated kitchen shines with sleek tile floors, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances. Upstairs, two spacious 13' by 11' bedrooms each feature ceiling fans and plush carpeting. The front bedroom includes a full closet, while the rear bedroom offers access to a versatile bonus room — perfect as a walk-in closet, office, or cozy retreat. The second floor is served by its own radiant floor heating zone for added comfort. Additional highlights include a private fenced rear yard for outdoor enjoyment and a basement providing extra storage space. Situated on a quiet one-block stretch of North Myrtlewood, this home benefits from limited traffic yet remains conveniently close to transit and Center City. It's also just around the corner from a shopping center with a supermarket. Less than half a mile away, Fairmount Park offers ball fields, tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds including Smith Memorial Playground, a driving range, disc golf, and the Discovery Center at East Park Reservoir. Thinking about buying for the first time? This home is an excellent candidate for first-time buyer loan programs and down payment assistance through the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA). PHFA offers competitive interest rates, low fees, 30-year fixed terms, and programs that can help with down payment and closing costs — making homeownership more accessible than many renters realize. With comparable two-bedroom rentals in the area going for $1,100–$1,600/month, owning here could mean building equity at a similar monthly cost. With bright interiors, modern finishes, and a prime location, this Strawberry Mansion residence is ready to welcome its next owner — don't miss that opportunity.
