Description

A Private Oasis Awaits! Centrally located in the highly desired neighborhood of Fishtown, situated across from the historic Palmer Burial Ground is 1451-53 E. Montgomery Ave. This is a rarely-offered opportunity to purchase a wonderful 3 bedroom home with an adjoining side lot in the city's hottest neighborhood. Let's talk about the lot first... Enter through a 7 foot brick fence that offers privacy from the sidewalk and curtails sound for peaceful enjoyment. Once inside, you will find a carefully curated and blissful garden that features grass, mulch beds, an outdoor dining/grilling space and a rear patio yard. This is what a city dweller dreams of, especially during our historic times! The sounds of children playing, the laughter of friend s and neighbors socializing, the hum of crickets and dragonflies and the clanking of gardening tools against earth have echoed throughout this oasis for many years and it is now ready to be yours! Now, on to the home.... This 2-story, all brick, fully detached home is simply charming. The front entrance features a small vestibule to kick off your shoes and close out the noise. Enter the Living Room to find gorgeous hardwood floors, a wood-burning stove, and windows on the side of the home (There is an alley that runs on the other side of the home from the sidewalk to the rear yard!). The Living Room is large enough to have 2 separate areas for seating and enjoyment. French paned-glass pocket doors separate the Living Room from the Eat-In Kitchen, so you have the option of open concept or a bit more secluded . The kitchen was recently updated and is spacious and full of natural light. Granite countertops over stained wood cabinets and a farmhouse sink that is perfectly placed overlooking the rear yard define your culinary space. Upstairs features a main bedroom in the front with vaulted ceilings, a skylight, large closet and built-in shelving. The bathroom off the hall was also recently updated . The 2 rear bedrooms are larger than most comparable homes. Both feature tremendous light and offer a full-sized modern closet. The middle bedroom has a custom shelf built in and a customized modern closet to maximize your storage. All three bedrooms feature a ceiling fan. 1451-53 E. Montgomery Avenue is truly a one-of-a-kind home. Please set up a tour soon! Agents, please see private remarks regarding side lot and share with clients.
