| Notes: |
When it comes to updating a Philly rowhome, the former artist-owner of this extra-wide Fishtown/East Kensington gem proved that you can break the mold. Working from a 17-foot-wide footprint, windows galore and original random-width pine flooring, Bright Common Architects’ design created a floorplan with great flow and incredible loft elements upstairs while utilizing passive solar design. The kitchen’s oversized black-and-white checkerboard floors, refurbished vintage cabinets, sharp white appliances–GE Artistry Series range, microwave and dishwasher and complementing Fisher & Paykel fridge–create a retro-cool aesthetic, while a peninsula with butcher block countertops, breakfast bar and inset soapstone drying rack pack it with contemporary functionality. A sweet first-floor powder room with a basin sink set on marble is tucked behind a pocket door. Upstairs the massive front bedroom is positively sun-soaked from two exposures and features a dramatic lofted ceiling with white beams, gooseneck barn light sconces, and a full wall of closets with custom systems. The good-sized rear bedroom also has two exposures via four (!) windows and clever built-ins. They share a bright and stylish hall bathroom with subway tile tub surround with inset storage, large storage vanity and basketweave tile floor. A bright and roomy laundry nook with Samsung frontloaders and a folding station leaves the basement open for storage. The incredibly spacious rear garden is set against a cedar plank Trombe wall and is finished with pavers, and there’s a magical private breezeway with direct sidewalk access. Located on a quiet little street off Frankford Ave, this home is three blocks from the El and convenient to neighborhood favorites like Cook and Shaker, Forin Cafe, Hello Donuts and Philadelphia Brewing Company. |
