for $450,000 with 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, 1 half bath. This 1,200 square foot townhouse was built in 1875 on a lot size of 0.05.
Rare opportunity to own a truly unique live/work property in the heart of East Kensington! Combining 2019 and 2019 1/2 E Firth Street, this distinctive property offers a charming row home, a double-height rear garage/workshop, two-car off-street parking, and a rooftop deck. Ideal for car enthusiasts, DIYers, artists, or entrepreneurs, this property offers a rare combination of living space and room to work on your next project. The first floor features a cozy living room, convenient half bath, stacked laundry, and an eat-in kitchen overlooking the cobblestone driveway. A distinctive skylight-like roof feature fills the covered drive aisle with natural light, creating a courtyard atmosphere perfect for "outdoor" dining or even entertaining. Original wood floors, beautiful woodwork, and a built-in-style armoire add character throughout. Upstairs, an open landing connects the updated hall bath, spacious primary bedroom, smaller bedroom ideal for guests or a home office, and rooftop deck. The kitchen and bathroom have been renovated since 2021, and the home has been largely remodeled, with a few remaining projects for the next owner, including installation of a railing around the rooftop deck. At the rear, the approximately 900-square-foot, unheated garage/workshop offers exceptional space for vehicles, hobbies, equipment, or creative pursuits. The combined parcel totals about 2,072 square feet, including a roughly 600-square-foot drive aisle and a roughly 1,200-square-foot home that extends over part of the driveway. Measurements and floor plans are expected by October 21. Conveniently located near the Market-Frankford Line, Frankford Avenue & Front St shops and restaurants, and I-95, this one-of-a-kind property offers character, versatility, and hard-to-find workspace in a great neighborhood. Please note: The two parcels may need to be combined along with settlement if the buyer is obtaining financing; check with the lender. The buyer is responsible for any repairs or improvements the appraiser or insurance company requires to obtain financing, or may consider a renovation loan. Buyers should verify zoning requirements and any intended uses with the appropriate authorities. Photos coming Tuesday!
