2020 E Fletcher St Unit 1&2 Philadelphia, PA 19125

AMAZING opportunity to Lease the whole building. Unit 1 is a 3 bed 2.5 bath spacious converted Loft with large deck and Laundry. Unit 2 is a newly renovated efficiency apartment with garage parking, workshop space, laundry and small outdoor space. Ideal live-work space for makers, hobbyists and/or business owners. Live upstairs in the palatial converted factory and run your business out of the "office" and garage downstairs. First floor unit boasts custom kitchen with stainless steel appliances, sleek center island with barstool seating and granite waterfall countertops. The functionality of the Murphy bed allows for and open floor plan and then conveniently folds down when needed. Built in 1909 intended for use as a carriage house. Evidence of the posts and rings for three original stalls can be seen on the first floor. At the top of the entry stairs is part of the original garage door. The lights in the foyer space are salvaged from the peco building at Susquehanna and American st you might also notice the cove detail where the ceilings meet the walls, a nod to period correct plaster work. The floors throughout are a sanded and sealed oriented strand board, a humble construction material that acts as a warm raw counterpoint to the clean lines and other details of the house. Underneath the floors is the house’s radiant heat system, designed and built by the owner. The wood doors in the house were salvaged from two different Victorian homes on the main line that were demolished where currently a Whole Foods stands today. The front and master bedroom doors were set as entry doors. The five panel doors and their matching trim and casing were removed, the paint was stripped and they were sanded and restored to their current state. In the master bed, the doors to the walk in closet and the master bath were custom fabricated for the space. The glass in the bathroom doors was slumped into a diamond texture and sandblasted with an early 20th century anatomical diagram. These were used in an art installation in Seattle by the owner and were repurposed for these doors. The sinks in the master bath were in the university of Pennsylvania chemistry labs. Their age is uncertain but our best guess is from the 30s. The black slate floors in all the bathrooms are from the last slate quarry in Pennsylvania. In slatington (really). You’ll notice that the custom fabricated doors all have a similar minimalist trim detail that is mimicked in the window boxes. You ascend to upstairs by the custom staircase and light feature. The material is a similarly humble as the floors but through its attention and treatment transcends its intended purpose. On the third floor an old industrial cart hugs the sectional couch. The cart was original to the crane arts building on American st when it was a manufacturer of ceramic tile, toilets and sinks. The bar is from Harry’s occult shop a south street institution for decades that closed in 2012. There is a theory that this casework may have been in the original Wanamaker's department store on market st where Macy’s now is. In the kitchen, the orange cabinets are from a defunct lab in blue bell pa. The butcher block was salvaged from a kosher butcher in Brooklyn, the waves are from years of daily use with knife and cleaver. It was sanded in order to smooth the surface but some knife marks remain. The kitchen table is reclaimed from a bowling alley and is a nice chromatic complement to floors and cabinets. Lastly the third floor bathroom, the wainscoting is the building’s original roof decking. The sink is reclaimed from the old peco building on American st. As is the mirror frame, originally a transformer cover. The house also boasts a nice deck space for outdoor hosting. Conveniently located a short walk to the El, major highways, and Fishtown’s popular shops and restaurants. Upper unit is available in its own MLS# PAPH1018704
