Description
The ideal intersection of rustic, industrial and modern.
Charm abounds in this distinctive and exquisitely crafted home. With special touches and finishes not found in new development, this two bedroom, one and a half bath home has been designed to perfection. Every detail throughout has been meticulously chosen to create a fun and bohemian vibe. The living room/dining room is flooded with natural light and boasts recessed lighting, original random width hardwood floors, exposed brick, reclaimed beams and a rustic staircase. The dining room begs for a dinner party and the farmhouse kitchen delivers delightfully painted cabinets, a whitewashed brick wall, a slate tile floor, butcher block countertops and a distinctive island made of recycled wood palettes. Sliders lead to a private patio, the perfect place for settling in with a good book and a cup of coffee on a cool autumn morning. A powder room with exposed brick details rounds out the first floor. Upstairs, find two sunny bedrooms with recessed lighting and plenty of closets, one with industrial brick details and a skylight. Rounding out the second floor is a large full bath with tub and pedestal sink. The basement is semi-finished and houses a laundry room and additional live/work space for the creative. A private escape in the heart of the bustling East Kensington and Fishtown communities, you are still in walking distance to much of the best of the city. Philadelphia Brewing Company, just a few blocks away will be your favorite watering hole and you'll love the hummus at a little-known secret, Liberty Choice Market. Enjoy a coffee at Franny Lou's Porch, lunch at Soup Kitchen, artisanal pizza at Pizzeria Beddia and evening cocktails and dinner at Wm Mulherin's. Take part in Fishtown's special events like the Kinetic Sculpture Derby, Trenton Avenue Arts Festival and First Friday gallery openings. The York-Dauphin or Berks stops on the El allow for a ten minute ride to Center City. 2014 E Firth Street offers every modern convenience and stands as a cozy, rustic retreat in the heart of the city. Welcome home.
