    What's special

    Looking for a unique and well-cared-for home you can move right into? 1939 N Palethorp St is the 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom property you’ve been waiting for! Just blocks from Fishtown and endless commute opportunities, this house is a sanctuary among a sea of drab flips. Walk through the sage green door into an airy living space with whitewashed shiplap. This center stair home breaks up space nicely allowing for a separate dining room that leads into the kitchen. The workhorse kitchen has reclaimed marble shelving, butcher block counters, and a suite of stainless steel appliances. You’ll notice two kitchen windows drawing you outside into the backyard oasis. The private yard has been decked with Trex for a maintenance free option. Fire up your grill or a fire pit in this perfect city patio. Up the stairs you’ll find the primary bedroom at the front of the home, including two Schoolhouse sconces and a deep closet. The second bedroom sits on the back of the house, includes a large closet and leads into the full bathroom. The bathroom has a large walk-in shower with penny tile floor - and don't miss the smart storage details throughout the space! The unfinished basement is used for laundry and storage. Just steps from Norris Square, this home is blocks from everything you need! Head to the Berks Station to commute, pop over to Rowhome Coffee for a caffeine fix, or to LMNO for date night. This home has been lovingly updated and maintained for over a decade and is not to be missed.
