Description

Chic duplex in prime Fishtown location now available. Live in one unit and generate revenue from the other, or purchase as a turn-key investment in an area with high demand and low vacancy! 1109 East Palmer is located on a charming block right off Girard Avenue and within walking distance to both the vibrant dining and bar scene that has exploded in Fishtown and the newly finished Delaware River Trail. Enter the common foyer featuring original anaglypta wall covering that revives the often lost details of the early 20th century. The lower unit is accessed right off the hallway and presents options to tenants. Two connected rooms with a bathroom in the middle allow for a bedroom to be used in either the front or the middle room. The kitchen is in the rear and a large laundry room/storage space is around the back of the home, which is accessed through a wide private alley. The lower unit has traditionally been leased as a 1 bedroom and features tall ceilings, exposed brick and lots of natural light. The lower unit also has access to a stunningly large rear yard that is nicely manicured with a bed of shrubs and well-kept grass. This oasis is rare in 1 bedroom apartments and offers a nice private escape for the lower level occupant and a beautiful view from the rear elevation of the upper unit. Upstairs you will find a two-bedroom, 1.5 bath "owners unit". This unit is currently being used as a large 1 bedroom plus den with a formal dining room, per the owners preference. Entering the upper unit from the 2nd floor, you will find a sizable kitchen with modern cabinetry, granite countertops and updated appliances. The kitchen is accented by a very unique chandelier over the island and the exposed brick on the party wall. Offering dining space for 3-4 on the expansive counter, you have a full-sized kitchen larger than most 2-bedroom apartments. Beyond the kitchen is a large den area that is currently being used as a formal dining room with a 6-top table and baker's rack. A sofa, coffee table and entertainment set would function well here. Off the rear of the 2nd floor is a deck that overlooks the gorgeous rear yard noted above. This entire floor features restored original yellow pine floors that vary in width. Off the kitchen is a half bathroom with stacked washer/dryer. Towards the front of the 2nd floor is a bedroom that is currently being used as the den and features a closet, ceiling fan, ample space and tons of sunlight. Head up the curved staircase to the Main bedroom which features an en suite bathroom, exposed brick and closet with mirrored doors. This is a one-of-a-kind offering in Fishtown that you would be proud to call your own. Appointments require the listing agent to be present, so book a showing today!
