About This Home
Rarely available space in the heart of Fishtown! At more than 1,350 square feet, this 2-bedroom home offers significantly more room than the typical neighborhood rowhome—plus central air, generous storage throughout, and an expansive private outdoor space on a quiet residential block just steps from Fishtown’s restaurants, shops, and nightlife. Enter into a bright living room with hardwood floors and a convenient nook for coats and everyday storage. The open main level continues through a spacious dining area to the kitchen, featuring quartz countertops, shaker cabinetry, tile floors and backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator with water and ice dispenser, gas range, microwave, and dishwasher. Upstairs, exposed brick adds character along the stairway leading to the oversized primary bedroom. The bedroom includes a walk-in closet with custom floor-to-ceiling wood shelving. The large full bathroom features an oversized tiled and natural-stone shower with three shower heads and frameless glass doors, a marble-top vanity, and an additional storage closet. Also on the second floor is a dedicated laundry room with built-in shelving—an especially convenient feature for city living. The third floor offers a bright and spacious second bedroom with hardwood floors and a closet. An unfinished basement provides plenty of additional storage. One of the home’s best features is the exceptionally large private brick patio, which encompasses the entire neighboring lot. Access it directly through sliding glass doors from the kitchen or through a secure gated entrance from the street. There is plenty of room for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying your own private outdoor space in the city.

Once the epicenter of the commercial shad fishing industry, Fishtown is now a creative hub for artistic, culinary, and musical action in Philadelphia. Beer gardens, independent coffee shops, diverse restaurants, eclectic bars, vibrant murals, and live music abound in Fishtown.
Renting in Fishtown affords residents the option to catch a concert at the Fillmore Philadelphia, play classic video games at Barcade, and drink artisanal coffee at La Colombe Coffee Roasters. Palmer Park and Penn Treaty Park also offer a lush reprieve from city life in the neighborhood.
Fishtown manages to feel far removed from the hustle and bustle of Center City, despite being less than a ten-minute ride away via the El. Convenience to I-95 connects Fishtown to destinations like New Jersey, New York, Baltimore, and Washington D.C. in less than a two-hour drive.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
