Property Description
This exceptional 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath home is a full gut renovation with a fully custom floor plan designed to maximize space, flow, and functionality, featuring all new framing, electrical, plumbing, and a new 2-ton HVAC system. Striking custom-ordered black vinyl windows and ¾" white oak herringbone flooring throughout set the tone for timeless, high-end design, complemented by real wood beams, preserved exposed brick, and bespoke millwork at every turn. An arched entryway with wainscoting and Rojo Alicante marble, imported from Spain, makes a dramatic first impression. The main level showcases a black marble hearth with a decorative fireplace, a thoughtfully designed powder room featuring a wall-hung toilet, designer dimmable lighting, custom millwork, and a one-of-a-kind handmade marble sink imported from Turkey. The chef's kitchen features a custom hood vent, 36" Forno white range with brass hardware, and custom upper cabinetry with integrated lighting. Upstairs, the primary suite stuns with a walk-through custom closet and pocket door leading to a spa-like bath with checkerboard flooring, handmade Zellige 2x6 tile shower with marble bench, freestanding tub, wood vanity with Carrara marble top, and wall-mounted brass faucets. The 2nd bedroom also features an en-suite with handmade green Zellige tile surrounded by microcement walls, and a gorgeous cedar wood ceiling. Truly one of a kind and meticulously detailed, this home is steps from the best of Fishtown, including Kalaya, Suraya, Ama, Frankford Hall, Minor Details, and more.
