Property Description
ThiIt's here. A Rare Street-to-Street Canvas in the Heart of Fishtown. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has it. That hula feeling. An unmistakable creative energy you feel the moment you walk in. Why? Because it's a wide, light-filled home full of character, original charm, and a rare footprint that runs street-to-street with an oversized detached garage at the back. The bright, open main level where living is enjoyed in the living room, memorable dining becomes entertaining every day of the week in the dining room, and the soon-to-be-your-dream-kitchen flow together with warm honey toned refinished hardwood floors and soaring ceilings enveloping all the natural light from so many oversized windows. A statement chandelier crowns the dining space, artful vintage touches give every corner personality, and those windows, just welcoming shiny happy sunlight all day long. The kitchen keeps things easygoing and functional with an easily accessible range under an unobtrusive hood vented outdoors for real at home chefs, dishwasher, open glass shelving, and a farmhouse sink below a window framing greenery and twinkle lights, or fireflies, hard to tell which. It's all so practical magic, heart, and soul. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms filled with that friendly natural light and underlined with those familiar warm wood floors, all ready to become what you need; nursery guest rooms, sanctuary, home office, a creative space, reading room, study. The character-rich full bath keeps its retro tilework, adding to the home's authentic vintage state of being. Now for the showstoppers. The full basement is a true bonus where you'll feel this homes' good bones. Already used as a music room, workshop, and studio, with tons of room for laundry, storage, and hobbies. Outside between it all, a lush, storybook garden bursts with flowers, greenery, and string lights. It's your private retreat for morning coffee, weekend grilling, or evenings under the stars. Just beyond the fairy tale greenery sits that genuine rarity in the city, the oversized detached garage. Offering covered parking for multiple cars, hobbies, storage, or the workshop/studio of your dreams. Because the lot stretches street-to-street, you get flexibility most Fishtown homes simply can't offer. Here's the real magic: this home is a blank slate with great bones. Move in and enjoy it exactly as it is or bring your vision and make it entirely your own. That combination, original details, an unbeatable layout, a huge garage, and a street-to-street lot, was impossible to find, until now.
