Property Description
10-Year Tax Abatement and Tax Appeal Pending! 17 E Columbia is a carefully reimagined end-of-row home set just off the main drag in Fishtown. Sunlight pours across the first floor through an impressive array of windows, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. The open floor plan is accented with custom millwork and offers generous space for both living and dining. Step through the beautifully crafted arched entryway into the brand-new kitchen, featuring matte black cabinetry, quartz countertops, and striking floor tile. The charming and efficient outdoor area offers a patio perfect for grilling or dining al fresco. On the second floor, you'll find an expansive front bedroom with its own walk-in closet, plus two additional bedrooms separated by a full hall bath. The middle bedroom is peaceful - ideal for a nursery or quiet workspace. The custom hall bathroom includes a deep soaking tub paired with an emerald-tiled shower for a spa-like feel. The entire third floor is dedicated to the primary suite. Spacious enough for a king-sized bed, the main bedroom feels elevated and serene, complete with custom molding. A large walk-in closet flows into the artfully designed primary bathroom, which exudes luxury at every turn. The finished basement, with its high ceilings, offers a versatile bonus space - perfect for a home office, gym, or playroom. Tucked on a quiet block yet steps from Suraya, La Colombe, and the new Medium Rare restaurant, this turn-key home delivers the ideal neighborhood energy while placing you in the heart of everything Fishtown has to offer.
