Property Description

Unique, historic, 17-foot-wide semi-detached home on a tree-lined street in burgeoning East Kensington! Step into a piece of Philadelphia history in this rare 17-foot-wide home—dating back at least 150 years, the property first appears on an 1875 archival map as part of a carpet factory complex—lending it a unique industrial heritage that has been beautifully reimagined for modern living. Today, it still boasts its original pine hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and ceilings that give each room an airy, comfortable feel. The main level flows seamlessly from the spacious living room into a flexible dining area that can just as easily serve as a home office, bonus space, or creative studio. The expansive, eat-in kitchen features espresso cabinetry, tile backsplash, and Corian countertops, perfect for morning coffee and effortless home cooking. Just beyond, the rear mudroom serves as a highly functional hub, housing a full-size LG washer and dryer set and providing direct access to the first full bathroom—vibrant blue with a fresh, modern feel. From here, step out into the private backyard—perfect for entertaining, summer BBQs, gardening, or simply relaxing outdoors. An adjoining side alley offers additional space leading directly to the street, making it convenient for storing tools, bikes, or trash bins out of sight. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite—accented by exposed brick—includes an en suite bath with tiled finishes and bold green walls. A massive walk-in closet completes the space, large enough to double as a nursery, office, or dressing room. Down the hall, you’ll find a second generously sized bedroom with plenty of natural light and flexibility for guests, family, or a home workspace. The basement also provides abundant storage space, keeping the main living areas uncluttered and functional. Nestled at the crossroads of East Kensington and Fishtown, it is just steps from neighborhood favorites like Rowhome Coffee, Forin, Lost Time Brewery, and Star|Bolt, and only a five-minute walk to all of Frankford Avenue’s dining and nightlife as well as Berks Station for swift access to Center City and beyond. This one-of-a-kind home has been cared for with love throughout its entire ownership.
