Listing description

A quintessential Fishtown charmer is here for your delight! This energized 2 bed 1 bath brings you coastal cabin energy while maintaining the Philadelphia historic features that we love. The first floor is larger than it appears, offering two sitting areas within the expanded living area. It features custom built-ins for your collections, a rounded edge staircase, a playful wallpapered vestibule with the original etched glass paneled door, and the original pine floors that continue throughout. Through the living room is the dining space and kitchen, both full of light. The kitchen is airy, featuring open shelving, a breakfast bar, and stainless steel appliances. Take in your view of the whimsical cottage garden through the picture frame window and full-lite door, or find your peace with a cup of coffee on the back patio amongst the plantings! Upstairs are two bedrooms, both with bright indirect light, and an updated hall full bath with a tub. The primary is nicely sized and easily fits a king bed. The original pine floors continue on the second floor. This home is on one of Fishtown’s most coveted blocks and in the Hackett school catchment - 2161 E Letterly is near everything you want to be near: Picnic, Philadelphia Brewing Company, Thunderbird Salvage, OG pizza, endless coffee shops, York dauphin stop, and all the other wonderful local businesses Fishtown has to offer. It is also centrally located to public transit and 95. Make sure to read “Aged Exhorter Falls Lifeless as Sermon Ends” in the photos, the article is about a previous owner from 1912! Homes with this much charm and character don’t come around often. Join us for an open house or make your appointment today.
