Sophisticated city living meets exceptional outdoor space in this beautifully designed 4-bedroom, 3-bath contemporary home, ideally situated near Fishtown and East Kensington. With an impressive 17-foot-wide footprint and striking all-brick façade, this newer residence delivers the perfect balance of modern elegance, generous space and effortless Philadelphia living. Step inside to a bright, open interior where soaring ceilings, rich hardwood floors and oversized windows create an airy, polished atmosphere. A sleek gas fireplace anchors the living room, adding warmth and ambiance whether you're enjoying a quiet evening at home or entertaining guests. At the heart of the home, the stylish kitchen blends timeless design with everyday functionality, featuring 42-inch cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, abundant prep space and an oversized eat-in island made for everything from casual mornings to cocktails with friends. But the lifestyle truly extends beyond the interior. A private rear patio provides an intimate outdoor escape, while the expansive rooftop deck creates a spectacular setting above the city.

With two distinct outdoor spaces, this home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy indoor-outdoor living without leaving the city. The beautifully finished lower level adds another dimension of flexibility, offering the perfect setting for a media lounge, guest suite, home gym, office or additional living area. Generous closets and storage throughout keep the home as functional as it is stylish, while multiple spaces provide excellent work-from-home possibilities. Just three years young, the home offers the benefits of newer construction, including modern systems, energy-efficient features and a move-in-ready experience. An added bonus is the valuable tax abatement. Located moments from the energy of Fishtown and East Kensington, you'll have some of Philadelphia's most popular restaurants, cafés, boutiques and entertainment within easy reach, along with convenient public transportation for effortless access throughout the city. Modern design, impressive space and exceptional outdoor living come together in a home designed for the way you want to live. From evenings by the fireplace to unforgettable nights on the rooftop, this is city living with a distinctly elevated feel.
