House of the Day: 220 Seeley Street
This cute one-family at 220 Seeley Street just hit the market with a price tag of $1,250,000. It’s got some very nice original details (parquet floors, beamed ceilings) and that holy grail of New York real estate, its own driveway.

DIBS, I’ve been to Dirty Franks and while the smell attests to its long history as a popular dive bar (you can smell it through the wall on the sidewalk), it was filled with frat-boy types. I was disappointed. Although one of the visits was on St. Patrick’s Day so maybe that was poor judgment on my part.
this house has an accepted offer on it I was told
ive been to philly twice and have 0 desire to go back.
doubtful!!
oh and thanks for educating me denton. maybe with a little help and advice i can become an upstanding, productive citizen like u
agreed slope. and once again i never compaired the two. my piont all along was what exactly about this house and area warranted this price tag. was it the sq. footage? best local schools on the city? nonexistent crime?
My clock says vodka, but your point is taken.
Goodnight, all. It’s already past beer o’clock.
We still arguing about Philly? Great city, love it, beautiful old townhouses, brick sidewalks, great restaurants and museums, etc., but no one seriously suggests it is a safer City than NYC. Wasn’t even true when crime was high here 20 yers ago. Philly had a problem with a judicial decree back then limiting the jail population, so lots of multiple offenders were roaming the streets. Safer now than it was, but not safe relative to NYC.
Also, neighborhood comparisons by distance are difficult because the affluent center core is much smaller. Neighborhoods comparable to WT are closer to Center City than WT is to downtown. And no, Frankford not = WT. Much mroe solidly blue collar and downwind from all kinds of smelters, refiners and other polluters.
