About This Home

As of November 2022

Finally, the Fishtown home you have been waiting for!! 1541 E Berks Street is a 3-story home located in the heart of Fishtown on one of the best blocks in the entire neighborhood. This meticulously designed home has been renovated from top to bottom with 3 large bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, roof deck, finished basement, a sustainable turf yard, and so much more. 10-year rehab tax abatement approved! The original front façade showcases brand new black windows and the original cornice which has been fully restored. Enter the home to be greeted by a completely open layout, with 5-inch-wide white oak hardwood floors flowing from front to back. The living room is adorned with exposed brick which sits opposite a shiplap bump-out complete with an electric fireplace with space heating functionality and a reclaimed wood mantle. Continue through to the dining area situated just outside the ultra-convenient first floor half bath. The kitchen features white shaker style cabinets, gold hardware, multi colored green tile backsplash, and Samsung stainless steel appliances. Solid oak butcher block countertops wrap both sides of the kitchen, which also features a large and functional pantry plus a massive and elegant farmhouse sink. An inviting sliding glass door allows the natural light to just pour in, leading to the spacious backyard with eco-friendly turf and white vinyl fence. The turf is not only maintenance free, but extremely green and sustainable. Head downstairs to the finished basement with luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. The second floor of 1541 E Berks features two spacious bedrooms with great closet space and a side-by-side Samsung washer and dryer just off the hallway. The second-floor bathroom showcases a full tub with a stacked subway tile design, beautiful penny tiles sprawled across the floor, and a bonus linen closet. Head up to the third floor to find a sun-soaked primary bedroom with tall ceilings, a stunning feature wall, and a bonus space perfect for a make-up vanity or a desk. An elegant barn door leads to a U-shaped walk-in closet with tons of shelving and storage. The primary bathroom is a work-of-art, with a bohemian inspired double wood vanity with custom white Calcutta quartz top. The primary bath also features a stand-alone deep soaking tub, textured tiles adorning the entire real wall, a gorgeous stand-up shower with herringbone tile and sliding glass doors, and a separate toilet room so you can take care of business in private. Head up to the rooftop deck which is perfect for outdoor entertaining. This 3-story home is one of the tallest in the vicinity, allowing for wonderful views of various parts of the city. All permits pulled for new mechanicals with central air and heat (two zone system), PEX plumbing manifold, and new 200-amp electrical panel with new electrical service line. Located on an amazing block close to both Frankford and Girard Avenues, this home is just a short walk from all the shops, bars, and restaurants that Fishtown has to offer. Rarely does a home with this design aesthetic in such a desirable location come on the market. Book your showing today before it is too late!! Owner is a licensed real estate salesperson in the state of PA.
