Ditch your landlord and start building equity with this recently renovated porchfront home in the heart of Brewerytown. This lovely home features hardwood floors and tasteful finishes throughout, an open-plan first floor, central air, two large bedrooms and a finished basement. The kitchen features oversize ceramic tile flooring, white Shaker-style cabinets, a fun metallic subway tile backsplash, granite countertops with undermount sink and gooseneck faucet, and a stainless steel Frigidaire appliance package with five-burner range. The ideal layout includes a powder room discreetly located in a mudroom behind the kitchen that leads to the rear patio. A custom nickel-finish railing leads up to the second floor bedrooms, both with ample closets and nice natural light from two windows–which have extra-deep sills in the larger front room. They share a spacious and nicely appointed hall bath with storage vanity and veined ceramic tile surrounds for the soaking tub and separate walk-in shower with frameless glass doors. Second-floor frontloading LGs make laundry a breeze and leave the finished basement completely open for additional living space. Located just a few blocks from Girard Ave, this house is close to neighborhood hotspots like Rybrew, Crime and Punishment Brewing Co., the Monkey and the Elephant, Green Eggs Cafe and the 15 trolley. It’s also a short commute to Temple, Center City, Boathouse Row and all the arts and culture along the Parkway, and outdoorsy types will appreciate the proximity to Fairmount Park.
