About This Home
As of April 2024This fully renovated townhome is on the edge of Old Kensington and Fishtown. It was an expanded trinity that was further renovated over the last year into a three-story home with 1,800 square feet. It has four bedrooms and two full baths. The first floor has an open floor plan that would be wonderful for entertaining from the front door, through the living room and kitchen to the sliding glass doors that lead to a large tree-lined patio. The kitchen has upgraded stainless steel appliances and custom cabinets. The kitchen is large enough to accommodate a large dining table and a cozy area for office space or a reading nook. The patio landscaping and evergreens provide a year-round oasis and view from all the floors. The second floor has two spacious bedrooms, a full bathroom and a full-sized washer and dryer. The third floor has two bedrooms and a full bath, which could also be used as a master bedroom floor. The smaller bedroom could be a walk-in closet, dressing room or office. The house has all new windows, recessed lighting, ceiling fans, hardwood flooring and a beautiful staircase and railing between the floors. There is a basement for extra storage and the patio has a shared easement to the street. This is a wonderful neighborhood that has many attractions including the Crane Arts building and The Clay Studio a block away, and just 2-3 blocks from the restaurants, shops, and nightlife of Fishtown. The nearby restaurants include Wm. Mulhern & Sons, Pizzeria Beddia, Suraya and Front Street Café. Hancock Park has a playground and dog run a block away. There are many grocery, gym, and day care options nearby. The many public transportation options include Septa rail with an entrance four blocks away. Although there is ample parking on the street and in the neighborhood, there are also private lots where you can rent a monthly spot. There are also four nearby microbreweries.
