This is a prime location for first-time homebuyers to put down 3% and avoid mortgage insurance- ask your lender about the Neighborhood Opportunity Program! Welcome to this thoughtfully renovated rowhome on a tree-lined street between Kensington and Port Richmond. You’ll find a real emphasis on quality and harmony of materials with exposed brick, iron stair railings, live edge wood shelving and exposed beams. The vintage bones are solid as a rock with a front facade of handsome decorative granite transoms and kiln-fired local brick. Modern elements include new windows, updated electrical and central air conditioning. Our favorite space is the decadently styled kitchen with ample counter and cabinet space to host all your culinary gadgets and food prep needs. You absolutely must run your hand over the unique honed unpolished granite countertop.
