Description
Tucked into East Kensington, just off Frankford Avenue and seconds from the heartbeat of Fishtown this is where the energy is shifting next. New restaurants are opening, the corner bakery becomes your weekend ritual, and the whole neighborhood feels alive with the kind of momentum people are always hoping to get in on early. From here you can stroll to dinner at Little Walter's or grab a table at the newly opened Emilia, then meet friends for a summer beer on the outdoor patio at Philadelphia Brewing Company. It's walkable, vibrant, and quickly becoming one of the city's most exciting pockets to call home.
This is a three-story, 2 bed, 2 full bath home that balances classic Philadelphia charm with thoughtful updates throughout including a new roof in 24, french drain installed in 23 and new flooring in 25. The main level welcomes you into the living room that flows naturally into the dining space, before opening into the kitchen designed for everyday living. A built-in wine storage feature tucked beneath the countertop adds a subtle design moment, while direct access to the large rear yard creates the perfect setup for summer grilling, container gardens, or outdoor entertaining under string lights. A convenient coat closet on this level provides that extra bit of storage every homeowner appreciates.
Upstairs, the second floor offers a spacious bedroom with a generous closet and a full bathroom complete with a tub, ideal for guests, a home office setup, or flexible living arrangements. Continue to the third floor where the primary suite takes center stage. Vaulted ceilings open the room up beautifully, giving the space an airy feel that's uncommon in homes of this size. The bedroom includes a walk-in closet, an especially rare feature, and a full bathroom with a shower, creating a private retreat at the top of the home.
The semi-finished basement is clean, dry, and highly functional, offering excellent storage along with a dedicated laundry area. The nearby Market-Frankford Line (the El) is just a short walk away, getting you into Center City in about 15 minutes, while quick access to Interstate 95 makes commuting or getting out of the city seamless. Whether you're heading downtown for work, catching dinner along Frankford Avenue, or meeting friends for a drink nearby, this location puts you right in the middle of it all.
