2548 E Norris St, Philadelphia, PA 19125

Location. Style. Functionality. Character. Affordability. 2548 E Norris has it all. Located on a beautiful historic block in the heart of Fishtown, within walking distance of Frankford and Girard, you'll come to love calling this place home. Up three century-old solid marble steps and through the front door of the historic brick facade, you will enter into a gem of a home for city living. Original wood floors run through the open living/dining area, illuminated by soft northern light flowing through the large front windows. The west wall is exposed brick, sealed and painted a soft white. A modern take on a shaker coat rack runs the length of the wall from the front door to the stairs. The east wall has custom wood radius shelves flanking both sides of the breast wall. Off the generous dining area is a coat closet, a rarity in Philadelphia row homes, that maximizes the use of the space. Beyond the spacious dining area is a well-appointed, Scandinavian-inspired kitchen featuring white flush-door cabinets with hand made wood pulls, wood countertops, and both upper cabinets and open shelving to feature your finer dinnerware. The east wall of the kitchen features a high-top peninsula, custom made from reclaimed eucalyptus wood, with seating for casual meals. The south-facing window over the sink and the multi-light rear door open to a sweet little private patio with rear-easement access. Back inside, the custom cherry wood door to the basement conceals a wall of shelving perfect for pantry items. The basement is dry and has built-in shelving units that come with the property. There is also a utility sink to complement the laundry area. The second floor features two well-proportioned bedrooms with original pine flooring, complemented by a spacious and well-designed hall bath and skylight. The bright and airy front bedroom has two large windows, custom shelving flanking either side of the chimney breast, and ample closet space. The second bedroom/office features full door roof access for those who want a roof deck in their life. The bathroom includes handcrafted Moroccan tiles surrounding the bathtub. Just down the street from Riverwards grocery, and a 10-minute walk from the best that Fishtown has to offer, you will love life in this jewel of a home. Call for a showing appointment today. This is one that you won't want to miss out on.
