    Better than new construction on a large corner lot in the heart of Fishtown! Classic row home updated with a warm, contemporary interior. Featuring a detached, 2-car garage, this house is an extremely rare find and offers many special attributes that you will instantly fall in love with. Enter through the classic vestibule and appreciate the solid hardwood floors and high ceilings. The 17-foot-wide lot is noticeable in this spacious, light-filled home. Beyond the dining area, you will find a terrific chef's kitchen with an abundance of cabinets, plenty of counter space, two sinks and stainless steel appliances. Through the back of the kitchen, you will find a real patio oasis that provides direct access into the garage, your rare and highly coveted off-street parking. With its high ceiling and size, this 2-car garage could also be utilized for a multitude of purposes: a home gym, an art studio, an entertaining space--the possibilities are endless! Back inside, head up to the second level where you will find two very large bedrooms, an updated hall bathroom and a convenient laundry room. The third level is home to the primary suite, where you will find a large bedroom with dual closets, one of which is a walk-in. The ensuite is roomy and features a double sink vanity, and tiled glass shower with dual showerheads. Off the suite is a private roofdeck, perfect for enjoying a quiet book or the 4th of July Fireworks. The basement offers plenty of room for storage and the additional utilities for the home. Situated in one of Philadelphia's most vibrant and exciting neighborhoods, you are close to numerous coffee shops, grocery stores, renowned restaurants and eateries, public transit and so much more. This home is located within the highly desirable Adaire catchment and is a short 7-minute walk to the newly renovated Fishtown Rec center.
