1313 S 23rd St

An exceptional opportunity presents itself at 1313 S 23rd St in South Philadelphia’s dynamic Point Breeze neighborhood: a rare 18‑foot‑wide corner vacant lot directly facing Wharton Square Park. Situated along Wharton Street on the park side of the block, this highly visible parcel sits across from a well‑maintained community greenspace featuring tennis courts, playground areas, wildflower gardens, and planned rain‑garden enhancements . While uninterrupted skyline views cannot be guaranteed, the location offers strong potential for building a home with outlooks to the park—and possibly Center City—depending on design and height. The lot measures approximately 18  63 ft (about 1,132 sq ft) and is zoned RSA‑5, aligning with Point Breeze’s evolving trend of infill townhouse development . With a growing wave of modern renovations and new construction nearby, this blank canvas offers endless possibilities—from a custom single‑family home to a sleek spec build. Whether you envision direct park views, a thoughtful facade on a prime corner, or a design that capitalizes on neighborhood momentum, this parcel combines city‑scale visibility with community charm. All utilities are available at the street, and the proximity to neighborhood amenities—including nearby eateries, transportation, and retail—makes this an ideal location for buyers or developers looking to make their mark in one of Philadelphia’s most promising corridors.
