Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from August 25, 2022
Designer styling and refinement abound in this lovely 3 bedroom Fishtown charmer. The home’s stately brick exterior is accented by an oversized front window with sizable UK built custom steel window box with cedar liner perfect for revolving seasonal plantings. This generous east facing window floods the first floor with soft ambient light showcasing a beautifully designed home full of relaxed informal function. With a flowing floor plan and liberal ceilings the first floor makes for natural living, dining and entertaining. Throughout the home all windows have tailor made bamboo roman shades and subdued original hardwood flooring setting off a contemporary yet earthy aesthetic. Nuanced with custom details like custom-built birchwood alcove shelving, chic and functional TV cabinetry and accent mantle. The home’s ambiance is fluid with dimmable contemporary lighting and vintage schoolhouse fixtures in the bath and kitchen. The updated kitchen has a soft rustic appeal with reclaimed barn wood kitchen shelves from Lancaster, PA, and genuine honed carrara marble countertops showcasing slick subway tile and muted cabinetry. Large windows again brighten this very functional eat-in kitchen with newer stainless steel appliances (2 yrs old) with the dishwasher being newly installed in 2020. The kitchen flows into a tasteful 14X10 patio oasis with Japanese Maple tree and tall white stone planters growing with styled greenery and flowers. The bonus wooden shed is perfect for keeping garbage out of sight and garden storage. The second floor opens up to a light-filled space with three boxed skylights brightening all three bedrooms and bath. Each room has lovely warm wooden doors accenting eggshell walls ripe for your artistic touches. Upping the ante on charm the bath’s rosy vintage clawfoot tub and original black and white penny tile solidify this home's lure. The primary bedroom is bright and spacious with accent sconces and soaring windows. Two additional bedrooms provide perfect balance to the home’s second floor. The mid with built-in Ikea closet system for clutter free storage and the rear with original chair rail beadboard wainscotting making for a cozy space perfect as a home office or retreat. Aesthetically this home soars but it also leaves room for growth with a large yet to be finished sub-level housing the washer and dryer, a vintage white porcelain farmhouse laundry sink and wooden shelving for storage in the dry basement. Offering all that Fishtown has for the urban dweller this home is situated on a quaint block set back from the nightlife on Frankford & Girard Ave's. Conveniently located ½ block to the commercial corridor on Frankford Ave, a short commute to I-95 and Center City. Most notably a 5 min walk to the Kensington Community Food Co-op, Martha Bar, Philadelphia Brewing Company, Hello Donuts, Vestige, and the Horatio B Hackett School and playground. This home shows beautifully!

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am a substitute teacher and have been to many schools in this district. This school is a free for all. At any given moment there are special needs students running the halls because there is no support for them. There is no security and a child could and has left the building without an adult being aware. The principal "encourages" the staff with negative comments leading to very low morale. I would send my kid to any other school and look into this one if my child was attending.Teacher Review4mo ago - Penn Treaty Middle School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI was hesitant to send my child at first... But after actually going to the school and meeting the teachers and staff I was confident my student would do well here. It's a wonderfully diverse environment. There is a focus on college preparation beginning in 9th grade. Penn treaty has many programs to support the students such as 12+, AVID, and city year. There are extra curricular activities and sports. This is a school on the rise. The staff and students are working hard to raise expectations.Parent Review5y ago
