Welcome to this charming Fishtown 2+ bedroom home, where classic character meets modern convenience. The freshly painted brick facade welcomes you into a grand vestibule featuring intricate wainscoting, luxurious velvet damask wallpaper, and a hand-carved door with glass inlay and a transom above. Step into the spacious living area, flooded with natural light through numerous windows, highlighting original hardwood floors and architectural details like exposed brick and custom window moldings.
An open dining space seamlessly connects with the living area, offering ample room for a large dining table. Nearby, there's a convenient utility closet, ideal for coats and extra storage, with easy access to the basement just beyond. The kitchen is charming and bright, with wainscoting, floating shelves, a vintage cast-iron farmhouse sink, and retro-style cabinets that exude charm. From here, step out into a massive backyard oasis, complete with a patio, perfect for gatherings or a quiet retreat. A mature fig tree, fire pit, and full fencing make this an inviting, serene space. A gated, side alley is perfect for unloading and storing bikes, yard tools and recycling.
The second floor opens to a versatile area ideal for a home office, library, or creative studio, featuring a wall of windows, exposed beams, and rustic wooden floors. The primary bedroom sits at the front of the home, showcasing high ceilings, a majestic brick accent wall with a chimney, and an original wooden door with porcelain hardware. Toward the back of the home, a bright, sunny corner bedroom overlooks the backyard, while an additional smaller room can serve as a guest room, office, walk-in closet or flex space. The unfinished basement offers laundry and generous storage, with extra room for projects. Situated on a peaceful block across from Wilmer Garden and Alexander Adaire Elementary School, with the Fishtown Recreation Center nearby, offering a playground, track, pool, and a hockey rink now buzzing with pickleball.
This prime location also provides quick access to I-95, bridges to NJ and Delaware, multiple SEPTA options, and a short drive to the airport. Living here means you're steps away from some of Philly's best dining, bars, coffee shops, and ice cream spots. Stroll over to Castellino's Italian Market, the Interstate Drafthouse, Hetzell Playground, and enjoy the outdoors at Penn Treaty Park and the Delaware River Trail. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the best of Fishtown!
