About This Home
As of September 2022Located in the heart of Olde Kensington on a vibrant and tranquil street, this newly updated four bedroom, two bathroom ultra modern townhome is truly a one of a kind.
As you enter this home through the inviting front door, your attention is immediately taken by the elegant open floor plan of the main level. You are promptly greeted by a spacious living room that features hardwood floors, oversized windows, and recessed lighting. Through the living room sits the formal dining room with plenty of space to comfortably host endless dinner parties. Nestled in the back of the home is the gourmet kitchen, equipped with masterful tiling, state of the art stainless steel appliances, and stylish wooden cabinetry. The kitchen has direct access to the rear yard, complete with vibrant foliage and lively gardening areas.
Make your way up the sweeping wooden staircase to the second floor where you are welcomed by two sunsoaked bedrooms, each with ample closet space, hardwood flooring, and recessed lighting. Both bedrooms enjoy the use of a full hall bathroom and laundry. Take the second set of stairs to the third floor of this home and find your way to the primary suite, adorned with high ceilings, hardwood flooring, and an abundance of natural light. Directly connected to the primary suite is a sizable bonus room with more than enough space to accommodate a fourth bedroom, a substantial in-home office, or a nursery. Head out the sliding glass doors to the bright and airy third story deck. The third floor is complete with a full bathroom that features a luxurious granite topped dual vanity and a masterfully tiled shower/tub.
The large unfinished basement with high ceilings is great for storage and has the potential to be updated to a finished basement.
1240 N 4th Street is conveniently located blocks away from downtown Fishtown and Northern Liberties.
