Better than NEW. This 8-year-old home, built by Postgreen Homes and designed by Award-Winning contemporary architecture firm, Interface Studio Architects, is ready for you. From the Stunning Façade of Shou Sugi Ban (Charred Cedar) and Steel Corrugated Siding, to Eco-Friendly Construction, this Two Bedroom, 1.5 Bathroom home takes the unique design approach of having the Kitchen and Dining area toward the front of the main level, with the Living space toward the rear of the structure. The Front Door opens onto an Entry Landing where you can either walk down a few steps to the Finished Basement, or up a few steps to the Main Level, creating some nice separation from the street. A bonus of this unique 16' wide design is a basement which is five feet higher than standard, allowing more light and air to enter, and maximum flexibility with the Lower-Level space. Every aspect of this house design has built-in efficiency in-mind. Large Triple Pane Windows block noise while letting-in tons of natural light, taking full advantage of the High Ceilings. On the Main Level, the 16' Wide Open Floor Plan with White Oak Flooring in the Living and Dining spaces lends itself to casual living, working, and entertaining. The Kitchen is outfitted with energy efficient Stainless-Steel Appliances, Bright White Laminate Cabinetry and Richlite Countertops. There are fabulous built-in, bookcases in the living area, and the rear door in the back of the living space opens to a fenced rear yard, well-suited to both gardening and outdoor entertaining. Climb the Floating Staircase to the Upper Level where you’ll find a nicely-sized Primary Bedroom and Second Bedroom, both with White Oak Flooring and Large Triple Pane Windows. A Large Full Bathroom and Laundry Area complete this floor. But wait…there is also a Full Roof Deck where Spectacular views of the city await you every day. The Lower Level presents you with a Fully Finished, Walkout Basement (heated and air-conditioned) with Cork Flooring, a Half Bath, lots of natural light through Windows and a Sliding Glass Door which exits to stairs to the fenced back yard. Customize this living area into a Third Bedroom, Office/Den, or Home Gym. Make your home in Fishtown with all that this great neighborhood has to offer: Bars, restaurants, and breweries almost on your doorstep (Martha Bar, Zig Zag bbq, Philadelphia Brewing Company, Monkey Club, and Pizza Brain). Not to mention access to the rest of Fishtown’s ever growing list of critically acclaimed restaurants (Suraya, Laser Wolf, Hiroki, and LMNO). Pick up your fresh produce any day of the week at the food coop or RiverWards produce and hit up the farm stand at Greensgrow on the weekend. The neighborhood has lots of lovely parks scattered throughout like Hagert St Playground, Conrad Square, and Penn Treaty. Don’t forget to take your pooch to Palmer Dog Park. With easy access to the MFL you can be down in Center City within 15 minutes to experience the rest the City has to offer. Make your appointment to see this High-Design, Super-Efficient Home in the heart of Fishtown today.

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI don't know how people can rate this school high, and make it out to be one fantastic school? I am a parent of a student. And the times i have been in that school I am forced to see savage fights at the end of the day. Or even in front of the office with 4 girls. With no security around that time i might add. The teachers are "Worksheet" teachers, Meaning they give out worksheets with there textbooks and call it a day. I wouldn't send my dog here. Good Luck parents. Alot of the parents dont even step into the school, let alone know what there kids are doing. The Principal I will admit, Is a very nice man. Now only if he weeds out the kids who go because they wanna have a good time, and the ones who want to learn.Parent Review13y ago - Brown Henry A School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs co-founder of the Friends of H.A. Brown I came in knowing how wonderful the school was due to my experience as a student teacher in the Fall of 2011. Many of the teachers and staff have been working at the school since then and some even longer. The low turn over creates a welcoming, comfortable and home-like feel as the students know the teachers from kindergarten through middle school. Principal Carnivale has implemented many important changes that have increased attendance, student attention, and an engaged student community. All students have computer classes, visual art, physical education and music with the opportunity to take string and woodwind instrument lessons. The Friends of Brown and the Home and School Association have been working collaboratively towards fund raising goals and student incentives and events. Volunteers have kept the library open for three years now providing many of the students the opportunity to borrow books, and this year we have added story reading to classes during their library time. The school represents a rich diverse ethnic body between students, teachers and staff. There are many Spanish speakers as well as a range of varying Chinese dialects and Vietnamese being spoken within the building. It certainly takes a village to make this school the diamond in our neighborhood and it is worth it! I am more than excited to be able to enroll my son when he is of age.Other Review6y ago - Kensington HS

No laundromats close by and there used to be two of them on Frankford ave in this area. I lived here my whole life and this area has gone downhill and the "New" restaurant up the street "The Pickled Heron" is ridiculous with prices that are very un affordable!! These places belong in Center City not in a neighborhood where people work hard for their money and deserve better!!"
