Property Description

Some homes just stop you at the door. Step inside here and the whole first floor opens up in front of you: wide hardwood floors, wood beams overhead and an original brick wall that reminds you this place has stood for over a century. It was taken down to the studs and rebuilt with the kind of finishes you rarely see in this part of the city. The living room is made for slow evenings. An electric fireplace glows from a wall of lit shelving, framed by arched niches and paneled walls. Keep walking toward the kitchen, and this is where people will gather. Warm wood cabinets, glass-front displays, a big waterfall island, a six burner gas range with a pot filler and a French-door fridge. Slide open the doors and you’re on your own private patio. A powder room finishes off the floor. The second floor is your retreat. The primary suite has a tray ceiling, a barn door walk-in closet and a bathroom that feels like a boutique hotel, with a freestanding soaking tub, a glass shower wrapped in marble-look tile and a double vanity with vessel sinks. There’s a second bedroom, a full hall bath and a laundry room with the washer and dryer included right on this level. Head up to the third floor and you’ll find two more bedrooms, another full bath and a wet bar in the hallway. Grab a drink and step out onto the roof deck. Under the pergola, with built in benches and privacy lattice all around, you’re looking out over the rooftops and the city skyline. That’s where the night ends. Downstairs, the finished basement gives you room to grow into a media room, gym or office. Everything behind the walls is new, with new electric, plumbing and dual zone HVAC, and it comes with a ten year tax abatement. Port Richmond is one of the city’s neighborhoods on the rise. New restaurants, cafes and renovated homes keep popping up next to the bakeries and corner spots that have been here for generations, and buyers who get in now are getting in early. Fishtown is just minutes away, so its dining, nightlife and music scene are basically your backyard too. You’re close to 95 and transit for getting downtown. It’s the lifestyle people move to Fishtown for, with more space and a home that stands on its own. Come see it in person!
