Description
Built prior to city property records in 1920 as a home for the workers of Fishtown’s industrious past, this brick-front rowhome combines original sturdy craftsmanship with high-quality, thoughtful updates by the current owners. Oak hardwood floors grace all living spaces. Scuff and stain resistant paint in rich green and blue hues adorn the walls. Southeastern exposure guarantees sunrise flooding your primary bedroom as you awake, and fills your spacious open living room with light through the broad windows and Pella Signature doors (a recent update) through the afternoon. The rear of the living area served the previous owners as a wonderful space for hosting: a dining room table with room for up to 8 chairs and a coffee bar under the shelves created joyous memories of holidays with family and friends. The original summer kitchen space has been updated for maximum functionality within the current dimensions. March 2025 renovations included Lifeproof water-resistant and scratch-resistant flooring, under-sink water filtration system, a new Moen faucet and garbage disposal, shaker cabinets, and a white quartz countertop and backsplash. High-end appliances such as a Bosch third-rack dishwasher, stainless-steel french door refrigerator, and gas range oven with air fryer setting provide best-in-class features. Walking upstairs, you'll find the original hardwood staircase, leading you to generously sized rooms with space for your comforts. The primary bedroom contains ample room for a queen-size bed and dressers, as well as a ceiling fan, closet space, and recessed nooks for tucked away storage solutions. Your second bedroom offers a view of the backyard and more closet space for storage. The bathroom offers a tub with a rain showerhead with handheld option, and generous space for a linen closet and vanity set. In the dry cement floor basement, you’ll find more upgrades: A new Bradford White water heater with copper lines installed in December 2024, and a brand new Whirlpool top-load washer with removable agitator nestled between the dryer and laundry sink. The HVAC system has been routinely maintained, and the orderly electrical panel allows for expansion. Outdoor spaces include a front façade with original marble stone steps, original iron railing, flower boxes, a galvanized steel planter that served as a vegetable garden, and a sidewalk tree planter home to a new Fig sapling. The rear outdoor space features a generous open patio that awaits your summer BBQs, herb gardens, and shade for napping pets. Within a 5 minute walk to Meetinghouse, Circles & Squares, Korea Taqueria, Pacific Yoga studio, Cione Recreation Center & Pool, Pop’s Skatepark, Playground, and Dog Park, Planet Fitness and Iron Works Fitness, Center City Pediatrics, Hackett Elementary, Fishtown Crossing shopping center, Aramingo Avenue, and Frankford Avenue businesses. No need to wait for lower rates...for qualified FHA buyers, this home is a rare opportunity to assume the owners' FHA 3.125% mortgage, or it can be purchased with cash or financing of buyer's choice.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
