A Piece of Philadelphia History Classic Row Home Living in the Heart of Fishtown

Rather than the cookie-cutter feel of a new apartment building, you'll find the charm and individuality of a traditional city home, ready for its next chapter.
Old Philadelphia character. Modern everyday comfort. A neighborhood full of life.
Inside, you'll enjoy two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, central air conditioning, gas heat, and a flexible layout ideal for a couple, roommates, visiting guests, or a dedicated home office. A clean, dry basement provides valuable extra storage for bicycles, luggage, and seasonal belongings.
Step outside to your own private outdoor space a perfect spot for morning coffee, unwinding after work, or enjoying a quiet moment in the city.
And the location? Fishtown has become one of Philadelphia's most sought-after neighborhoods, known for its independent restaurants, cafes, bars, music, and vibrant local culture. The Market-Frankford Elevated Line is just steps away, making it easy to reach Center City and explore everything Philadelphia has to offer.
