About This Home
As of July 2020Welcome to 2659 Emerald. First notice the nice set back from the street. Walk past the gate up to the front porch and into the home. With windows on front, sides and rear of home there is plenty of natural light. The layout is spacious and cozy. The front door leads to the living room and flows into the dining room and the large kitchen. Beyond the kitchen is a great backyard with space for relaxing with friends. Go upstairs to find the two good sized bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The basement is clean and usable for storage. This property could suit well an owner occupant that wants to buy a home in East Kensington/Fishtown with room for customizing and equity - it has many upgrades, some new windows, roof (2016), kitchen. It would also suit an investor looking for a great next project. The location is perfect - a short walk away from the KCFC coop, everything on Frankford Ave in Fishtown is a stroll away and close to both public transportation and roadways.
