Description

Welcome to 1760 Frankford Avenue, a rare find in the dynamic Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia. This end-of-row home, set on a full street-to-street lot, offers a captivating blend of historic charm and sensible updates, with ample opportunities to personalize through further modernization. With a detached two-car garage and a generous 2,502 square feet of living space, all on a rare and expansive 2,160 sq ft lot, this property is a true gem within the sought-after Adaire catchment area.   As you approach, the home's handsome brick façade and playful window boxes create an inviting curb appeal. Step inside the marble entryway to discover original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and an abundance of natural light that fills the space. The first floor features three large rooms, one with original mantle, perfect for customizing your ideal living and dining areas.   The kitchen and powder room flow seamlessly to a stunning outdoor space, featuring an extra large private yard and a lovely back patio with a built-in fire pit, ideal for al fresco dining and evening gatherings. Beyond the patio area, you'll find a detached two-car garage, complete with a wood stove and ample space for vehicles, bikes, or strollers. This versatile space has been used as an office, studio, and workshop, offering endless possibilities.   Back inside, the second floor greets you with a full bath and three bedrooms, each offering ample natural light and plentiful closet space. The third story houses a spacious master suite, complete with a primary bedroom that easily accommodates a king-sized bed, a walk-in closet with saloon doors, and a breathtaking recently renovated primary bathroom.   Nestled in the heart of Fishtown, this prime location places you within walking distance of neighborhood favorites like Suraya, Fishtown Social, La Colombe, and Kalaya. With a dog park and green space next door, public transportation on the block, easy access to all major highways, and a short walk to world-class shops and nightlife, city life does not get more convenient than at 1760 Frankford Ave.   Thanks to its commercial zoning, the possibilities for this property extend far beyond the current layout. Several neighboring properties have subdivided and built on the back parcel, while others have converted to by-right multi-family housing, some with ground-level commercial spaces. The potential and location of this property cannot be beaten, and homes like this rarely change hands along the vibrant, growing, commercial corridor of Frankford Ave.
