After a 25 second walk from the EL train from center city, you will enter your inconspicuous building and leave the dense busy city streets behind. Wide hallways welcome you with refinished original wood flooring and exposed brick walls. To the rights used as a home office by the current owners as it has a separate entrance. It is currently tenant occupied at $1,500 per month on an annual lease to assist greatly in your monthly mortgage payment. This huge space has a full kitchen, full bathroom, huge separate bedroom with laundry, and awesome charming details with exposed beams and brick. To the end of the hallway accesses the extra wide rear outdoor space which is walled in and private. You could host great barbecue parties back there for 40 of your closest friends. Upstairs your mouth will drop to the floor when you see the expansive living/dining/kitchen room of this 35 foot wide residence. The ceiling height, giant windows, open floorpan, exposed floor joists and brick walls all provide a very unique living experience in this one of a kind home. This main living room has lots of light with eastern exposure and there is a dining area that is right before the modern luxurious kitchen. There is a yoga studio/gym and another bedroom both on the other side of the kitchen with western exposure and huge light emitting windows. Upstairs leads to another wide open living room/den with that super bright eastern exposure. There is another bedroom and bathroom with a unique penny tiled floor. Take a long walk around the corner and enter the oversized master bedroom area with a tremendous walk-in closet and cleverly designed massive bathroom. This 35' x 65' home is a 3 minute walk to Frankford Ave, Martha Bar, Soup Kitchen Caf?, Philadelphia Brewing Company, and doesn't stand out like a brand new construction home in a historic brick block. Imagine life here! Don't miss this rare opportunity to own one of the most exciting properties in Fishtown!!
