Listing description

Welcome to 2044 N 5th Street, a newer build without the expensive price tag! This is an ideal property for savvy homebuyers or investors looking to capitalize on a rapidly appreciating 19122 zip code. Built in 2023, this 3-year old property offers a fantastic layout for roommates, families, couples, or individuals looking for low maintenance living, while sitting only minutes from the allures of East Kensington and Fishtown. Nestled on a wide street with parking on both sides, this home offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a fully finished lower level with powder room, a quaint backyard, dual (2) roof decks with skyline views, and the ongoing benefit of a tax abatement. Although narrow in stature, this home offers a TON of usable vertical square footage with a sensible layout that caters to growing families or roommates. Massive windows allow for tons of light to pour in past your juliet balconies on both front-facing bedrooms. The finished basement functions as a 4th bedroom, at-home office, or exercise area, with a full sized egress window offering amble below grade light. Only minutes from Norris Square Park, tons of residential development in every direction, and all the fantastic food and nightlife options of Fishtown, this property packs a serious punch! 2044 N 5th is ready for new owners.
