About This Home
As of October 2019Location, location. Sunny and unique corner home on one of Fishtown/East Kensington's prettiest streets. Two charming rowhomes have been combined to create a unique space unlike the cookie cutter designs on the market right now. 3 proper and usable bedrooms, 2 full baths and an option for the lot next door create lots of opportunity. Nicely sized living/dining space with random width pine floors and updated lighting. Thoughtfully updated and well appointed kitchen with semi custom cabinets, concrete counter, stainless appliances, and a door opening to the covered porch perfect for morning coffee or drinks alfresco. Exposed brick arches where the homes were joined lead from the kitchen into the into the sunny adjoining office/breakfast nook with slate floors and den/sitting area with private entry from Collins St. No trinity stairs or awkward side steps here...straight steps lead up from the living room to 2 nice sized bedrooms with Elfa closet systems and a hall bath with vintage tile floors. Back stairs from the den head up to another good sized bedroom/en suite bath with river rock floors. Perfect for a private guest retreat/roommate/master suite/AirBnB. Full unfinished basement with washer and dryer. Plenty of updates include new roof and main sewer line, recessed LED lighting, and fresh paint throughout. Lots of flexibility and investment potential here as the properties are already separately deeded. There is also an option to purchase the lot next door (2121 E Firth) as a package sale. Quiet, tree lined street with high end new construction directly across from 700k townhomes. Walk to Frankford Ave and everything the neighborhood has to offer including Cook & Shaker, Kensington food co-op, Martha, Memphis Taproom, Philadelphia Brewing Co., Pizza Brain, Red Brick distillery, and more. Easy transit (Market Frankford Line) and highway access. Sale includes 2527 Collins St (attached).
