Property Description
Here's one you don't come across every day-a four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home with two-car gated parking right in the heart of Old/South Kensington. It's the kind of place that gives you space to spread out, but still keeps you close to all the energy of the neighborhood. The first floor has a bright, open flow with hardwood floors, recessed lighting, a convenient powder room and a kitchen that's built for gathering-complete with a brand-new backsplash, fresh quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a generous island. Upstairs, you'll find two sizable bedrooms, a sleek hall bath with double vanity, and laundry right where you need it. The primary suite upstairs feels like its own retreat, with a walk-in closet and spa-style bath. A fourth bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows makes the perfect guest space or home office. Head all the way up to the roof deck and you'll see why this home is special-expansive views in every direction, perfect for sunsets or summer hangs. Bonus: the newer fiberglass roof deck (installed last year) was just freshly sealed and painted last week. The large finished basement is another perk-great for a media room, gym, or extra storage. Freshly painted from top to bottom, this home feels move-in ready. Out your back door, the secure two-car parking off American Street makes city living that much easier, and the location places you steps from Frankford Avenue and Fishtown favorites including Liberty Kitchen, La Colombe, Wm. Mulherin's Sons, Frankford Hall, Kalaya, and more. Super walkable to so many local favorite playgrounds and parks including Hancock, Hart, Cruz and Benson - all within a 10 minute stroll. With a sliver of tax abatement remaining, this is a rare opportunity to plant roots in a booming neighborhood with unbeatable convenience and style. (Total amount of tax abatement remaining to be independently verified by Buyer).
