About This Home
As of June 2025A Port Richmond row with timeless charm and thoughtful updates. Introducing 2852 Gaul Street, a 3 BD/1.5 BA home that blends original character with modern finishes. From beautiful hardwood floors and recessed lighting to charming accents and a sun-drenched kitchen, this home checks all the boxes for style and function. Step into an inviting open-concept living space, framed by a decorative brick fireplace and ample room for entertaining. A powder room off this room offers every day convenience. Further along, you will find a sizable separate dining area. The kitchen features wood shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, dynamic backsplash, and plenty of windows for a sunlit cooking experience. At the rear is a true highlight— a private and expansive back patio and yard offers the perfect spot for morning coffee, summer grilling, or your growing plant collection with plenty of space for fido to run around or family fun in the sun. Upstairs, you'll find three airy bedrooms — including a large front primary with great natural light and a beautifully updated hallway bath with a soaking tub, gold fixtures and classic black-and-white tile. The basement is clean and functional, with laundry, mechanicals, and plenty of storage space. Central AC! Just around the corner from neighborhood staples like Gaul & Co. Malt House, Her Daughters, ReAnimator Coffee, and Powers Park. Quick access to I-95, public transit, and a short bike ride to Fishtown or Penn Treaty Park. This home is move-in ready and waiting for its next owner(s)!
