What This House Offers
Welcome home to 1247 E Columbia Avenue, a modern one-bedroom, one-bathroom condo in The Ice House, a LEED-certified, professionally managed, and well-maintained... condominium community in the heart of Fishtown.
This desirable corner unit has only one shared wall and features a bright, functional layout with oversized windows, hardwood flooring, central heating and air conditioning, recessed lighting, and an in-unit washer and dryer.
The kitchen includes quartz countertops, a breakfast bar, gas range and oven, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and beverage refrigerator. The renovated bathroom features a dual-sink vanity and glass-enclosed tile shower. The bedroom offers generous closet space, including a walk-in closet with custom organization.
The controlled-access building features a modern, app-based video intercom system. Residents also enjoy shared community amenities including a rooftop terrace with city views, rooftop dog park, rooftop grilling area, secure bicycle storage, package facilities, and a landscaped courtyard with a koi pond.
Step outside and enjoy convenient access to some of Fishtown’s most acclaimed dining and entertainment destinations, including Michelin Guide–recognized Pizzeria Beddia and Kalaya, along with neighborhood favorites such as Frankford Hall. The property also offers convenient access to I-95 and is within easy walking distance of the Market-Frankford Line and multiple bus and trolley routes.
An assigned, gated parking space with a dedicated NACS EV charger is available for an additional $250 per month. Because the charger is connected directly to the condo’s electric meter, vehicle-charging usage is reflected on the tenant’s electric bill.
