About This Home
As of July 2025(offer deadline Monday 6/2 at noon) Looking for a designer home on a large lot in the heart of Fishtown? 1353 E Columbia Ave is a classic row home on the outside, and a thoughtfully-renovated sanctuary on the inside. Sunlight follows you into the open living space with two south-facing windows. The open floor plan is adorned with custom millwork and boasts plenty of space for comfortable living and dining areas. The chef’s kitchen is striking - featuring navy cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, marble countertops, and ZLINE range with custom-paneled hood. Wash dishes as you gaze over your enormous backyard - or take a break from chores to sip coffee in the sun. This unique outdoor space features a patio area for grilling/dining, some grass for your dog friends, and a wooden deck for lounging. On the second floor you’ll find a laundry room, and two bedrooms separated by a full hall bathroom. The front bedroom is spacious and bright, featuring two closets. The middle bedroom is quiet, and includes both a window and closet (perfect for a nursery!). The custom hall bathroom has a deep soaking tub beneath the emerald-tiled shower. On the third floor sits the primary suite. Plenty big for a king-sized bed, the main bedroom is luxurious, with wainscotting, wall sconces, and wooden details. A large walk-in closet leads into the bespoke bathroom. This bathroom feels hotel-like with a double vanity and stunning walk-in shower. The roomy finished basement has high ceilings, and makes a great home-office, gym, or play space. This turn-key home is tucked on a quiet block, but is just steps to Suraya, La Colombe, and Philly Style Bagels. It’s the perfect neighborhood feel, while being in the middle of everything Fishtown offers!
