you can continue to rent a 3BR shoebox for $1800 in fishtown proper or you can cross into the resurgent, rapidly gentrifying kensington neighborhood. come on by, we don't bite! here we have a very nice larger size 3BDRM house on a safe, little block (1900 block of e madison st) in kensington on the pt richmond/fishtown borderlines, near absolutely everything-the philadelphia arts collective off amber and allegheny, mcpherson square, papermill arts, and just minutes from the walking fish, pizza brain and circle thrift. few boutique stores, like dakar city, already popping up under the el on kensington ave right around the corner too! :) The place has few amenities...Nice, updated kitchen with 18" porcelain tiles, dishwasher and washer/dryer. Adorable bathroom retains the period look. Original, restored hardwood floor downstairs and new, bamboo hardwood floor upstairs. Ornate columns divide downstairs into living room and dining room/office areas. Large master bdrm, middle bdrm and small bdrm upstairs. LARGE, beautiful fenced off private backyard/garden with a small, covered shed for your bikes, etc. Large, clean basement for your music instruments, art studio, tool collection, etc. Artistic expression is allowed and encouraged: you can redesign the interior to suit; as well as create and exhibit your art. No fishtown landlord will let you do that. We do. :) We are Kensington small landlords and area residents ourselves. We have in the past ten years of living/investing here watched the neighborhood transform from a post-apocalyptic zombie zone to a vibrant, changing-by-the-day area filling up with artists, bohemians, students, fishtown refugees and ex-new yorkers. All of our tenants are funky, creative folks: musicians, painters, students, tattoo artists, muralists, handymen/women, hair stylists, magicians...Won't you join us? ;) utilities all electric. rent is only $800/mo and you're responsible for water/electric. *two months down to move in, no application fees!* available for April 1 occupancy. now taking early candidates...if interested, pls email us and tell us a little about yourselves... Month-to-month lease. Tenant pays all utilities.
