What This House Offers

Rarely available space in the heart of Fishtown! At more than 1,350 square feet, this 2-bedroom home offers significantly more room than the typical neighborhood rowhome—plus central air, generous storage throughout, and an expansive private outdoor space on a quiet residential block just steps from Fishtown’s restaurants, shops, and nightlife.

Enter into a bright living room with hardwood floors
and a convenient nook for coats and everyday storage. The open main level continues through a spacious dining area to the kitchen, featuring quartz countertops, shaker cabinetry, tile floors and backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator with water and ice dispenser, gas range, microwave, and dishwasher.

Upstairs, exposed brick adds character along the stairway leading to the oversized primary bedroom. The bedroom includes a walk-in closet with custom floor-to-ceiling wood shelving. The large full bathroom features an oversized tiled and natural-stone shower with three shower heads and frameless glass doors, a marble-top vanity, and an additional storage closet.

Also on the second floor is a dedicated laundry room with built-in shelving—an especially convenient feature for city living.

The third floor offers a bright and spacious second bedroom with hardwood floors and a closet. An unfinished basement provides plenty of additional storage.

One of the home’s best features is the exceptionally large private brick patio, which encompasses the entire neighboring lot. Access it directly through sliding glass doors from the kitchen or through a secure gated entrance from the street. There is plenty of room for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying your own private outdoor space in the city.
