About This Home

As of February 2023

Nestled on a quiet block and just a short 20 minute train ride to Center City sits a thoughtfully updated 2 bed, 2 full bath with a finished lower level in the heart of a dynamic and burgeoning East Kensington. 1812 E Albert St, sits steps from the eclectic mix of cafes, restaurants and shops along the Frankford Ave corridor in the 19125 zip code, and is a wonderful find for the first time homebuyer.

Enter the open concept living that feels modern and expansive with its high ceilings, large windows, painted-exposed brick and recessed lighting through out. At the back of the home sits the heart of the house, a U-shaped kitchen with sleek, dark and light grey tones; newer stainless steel appliances; plenty of cabinetry and counter space for the amateur chef; and a breakfast bar that comfortably seats two. Make your way out back to the large patio that captures plenty of light and more than enough space for gardening, grilling and lounging. The fully finished lower level is the perfect compliment to a work from home lifestyle as you seek additional space for guests or perhaps even a roommate. The first of two, 3-piece bathrooms is conveniently located at the top of the lower level stairs. Make your way to the second floor where you’ll find two bedrooms, a full bath and a continuation of high ceilings and large windows. The primary bedroom sits at the front of the home and is perfectly suited for a king bed plus additional furniture. The back bedroom lends itself best to a guest room or cozy office, and the full bath rounds out the upper level with its double vanity, loads of storage, large mirror and jetted tub.

1812 E Albert St packs a lot of punch for its size, accessibility for commuters and affordability. Schedule an appointment today!
