About This Home

As of July 2022

Clearly one of the best blocks in Fishtown, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home is located in the coveted Adaire Elementary school district, sits between Palmer Park and Hetzel Field and is a short walk to Penn Treaty Park and the Delaware Ave Bike Trail. VERY close to top restaurants, bars and entertainment - LaserWolf, Beddia, Suraya, Mulherin’s, Middle Child Clubhouse, LMNO, Kensington Quarters, Fillmore, Brooklyn Bowl - you get the idea…

Enter an open concept first floor to a warm living room, dining area, large kitchen with upgraded stainless appliances, powder room, pantry, and beautiful outdoor patio. The second floor features 2 big bedrooms with large closets (one bedroom is currently being used as the home office), a hall bath, laundry room (with upgraded LG washer/dryer including "sidekick" pedestal), and separate linen closet. The third floor owner's suite is spacious and inviting, with two great closets (one walk-in) and an en-suite bathroom. Just outside the owner's suite is a coffee and wet bar, with access to a sunny deck. Back downstairs, find a finished lower level, currently set up as a home gym, with great storage closets. The home features beautiful hardwood floors throughout (other than the lower level which features a gym-style rubber floor (very easy to remove if desired)). Approx. 5 years on tax abatement remaining.
