1229 N Palethorp St Philadelphia, PA 19122

Location, character, space and light, 1229 Palethorp has it all. Nestled in-between Fishtown and Northern Liberties on a quiet street in Old Kensington, this 19th Century home is centrally located among numerous amenities within just a few blocks. Enter into an open living/dining area with south and west facing multi-pane windows, and original architectural features such as wide plank pine floors; a painted pine fireplace surround (with cabinets hidden in the breast wall); and an original quarter turn staircase with pine treads. Tucked away, and adjacent to the staircase, is a powder room with contemporary fixtures and a period mirror. Beyond the dining room is a large kitchen with room for an island, east facing windows, painted wood cabinets, and a ceramic tile floor. Upstairs you will find a spacious front bedroom with an original fireplace surround flanked by two closets, west facing windows, and more random width pine floors. Centrally located on the 2nd floor is a large bathroom with a free standing claw foot tub, corner shower stall, two large windows, and a stacked washer and dryer. The rear bedroom on the second floor has an exposed brick wall, large closet, and pitched ceiling. The 3rd bedroom on the top floor has both east and west facing windows filling the space with natural light, and a vaulted ceiling, supported by exposed beams, giving the space volume. This would make an excellent studio/office/workspace if a 3rd bedroom is not a requirement. Throughout the home are examples of early 20th century door hardware. The basement is dry, has good ceiling height, and is suitable for storage. The patio offers privacy and space for dining and grilling. This is a rare opportunity to own a gem of a home under $400K and one that you won't want to miss out on.
