This beautifully renovated home blends clean Scandinavian design with thoughtful modern upgrades, all set in the vibrant Old Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by natural maple hardwood floors and an open concept floor plan bathed in daylight. The designer kitchen features marble countertops, open shelving, and a custom Murphy-style breakfast bar—perfect for casual dining or entertaining. Continue through the rear entry to discover a chic gray penny-tiled mudroom with a modern half bath and laundry area. Relax outside in your private yard retreat, or unwind in the peaceful rear bedroom with a massive casement window overlooking the garden—offering total privacy from the street. The front bedroom is ideal as a guest room, nursery, or work-from-home office, with an open-concept closet, and east-facing windows for gorgeous morning light. The luxurious primary bathroom is a showstopper with floor-to-ceiling tile, a sleek walk-in shower, and a double floating vanity. Square footage is based on the public record, but previous owner added additional 150sq ft. in the 1st floor. The tiled basement has been recently water sealed and all the mechanicals are newer: high-efficiency gas on-demand water heater, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and a newer roof. The property still has five years remaining on the tax abatement. Located in between Fishtown and Temple University, just off the ever-growing American Street, within a short walk to the Berks MFL train line, plenty of bus routes, one block from two grocery stores - this location can’t be beat. It is also a short stroll to local hotspots like Stateside, Starbolt, Nextfab, Say No More, LMNO, Kalaya, Rowhome Coffee, Keystone Bike CO, Human Robot, Luna Cafe, Sacred Vice, and many more. Open House this Saturday from 10-1!
