About the Listing COMPASS1 - 3179848

Fully restored 4-bedroom, 2-bath Victorian rowhome on one of Fishtown's most desirable blocks, where a thoughtful renovation preserved the original character throughout. The facade sets the tone immediately — a restored two-story bay with ornate painted cornice work and gilded detail that stands out even on a block of handsome homes. Inside, the first floor opens to a sun-filled sitting area framed by the original wood-paneled bay window, complete with built-in window seat, plantation shutters, and transom windows. The main living room features exposed brick, original heart pine floors, high ceilings, and recessed lighting. Original glass-paned French doors lead to a formal dining room with a designer accent wall, brass globe pendant lighting, and French doors opening directly to the rear deck. The renovated kitchen delivers modern function without sacrificing the home's warmth: custom white oak cabinetry to the ceiling, quartz countertops, stainless French-door refrigerator, professional-grade gas range with vented hood, and dishwasher. Upstairs, the primary bedroom sits in the front bay with windows on three exposures, ceiling fan, and mini-split AC. Two additional bedrooms offer original details including a stunning preserved fireplace mantel with period tile surround and mirrored closet doors. The full hall bath is a standout — original clawfoot tub, separate glass-door shower, vintage decorative tile wainscoting, and restored wood medicine cabinet. A skylit hallway with original millwork connects it all. Mini-split systems provide efficient cooling throughout, supplementing the classic radiator heat. Out back, a private wood deck with built-in seating steps down to a flagstone patio surrounded by mature, well-established gardens — hydrangeas, perennials, and a fire pit area that feels like a retreat in the middle of the city. All of this steps from the Girard El stop and Fishtown's best — Suraya, Laser Wolf, Pizzeria Beddia, and the Frankford Ave corridor. Original character, modern systems, move-in ready.
