1106 Marlborough St, Philadelphia, PA 19125

Welcome to 1106 Marlborough Street, a truly special 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath Fishtown home with an additional third-floor office, combining the character and craftsmanship of an old Philadelphia trinity with wide spiral stairs and an expansive 1960s addition that includes the primary bedroom, living and dining spaces, half bath, laundry, and kitchen. A huge garden and an extensive, thoughtful renovation complete this one-of-a-kind property. Detached on both sides and set on an unusually wide 20' x 96' lot, this is the kind of home that simply can’t be replicated in new construction. The property also offers exciting potential for future expansion, with opportunities to build out into the rear yard or above the second-floor primary bedroom, subject to zoning and permitting, which would be the buyer's responsibility to verify. Over the past several years, the home has been beautifully reimagined with a new kitchen, fireplace, first-floor powder room and laundry, new electrical and plumbing, approximately two-year-old flat roofs, and leased solar. Custom built-in storage throughout makes smart use of the space while complementing the home's original character. Upstairs, the renovated bathroom feels like a boutique hotel retreat, complete with a steam shower. Outside, the oversized rear yard is an urban oasis, thoughtfully designed into three distinct areas for dining, entertaining, and relaxing. Native plants and species are incorporated and individually labeled throughout the garden. Because the home is detached, a convenient side passage provides space for bikes and a grill, along with easy access for trash and everyday coming and going. Marlborough Street is known for its neighborly spirit, including block parties and street festivals, while some of Fishtown's best are just outside your door. Walk to Suraya, Kalaya, LMNO and Gilda; grab coffee at La Colombe or Milkcrate Cafe; catch a show at Johnny Brenda's or The Fillmore; or meet friends for a beer at Other Half Brewing. Even everyday conveniences are close by, with Nova Star Pharmacy on the corner and Dr. Raha Mozaffari's dental office just a block away. 1106 Marlborough offers the best of both worlds: the warmth, texture, and soul of a historic Fishtown home, beautifully updated for modern living.
