About 1038 E Columbia Ave

At the corner of East Columbia Avenue and East Wildey Street in coveted Fishtown lies a home that's the perfect cross between functionality and old world charm. A quaint, gated front yard and patio for lounging greets you before stepping inside your quintessential Philly vestibule. An exposed brick wall and original oak hardwood floors lead you from an open-concept sitting room straight into your dining room, where creativity for all different furniture configurations exist. Continue towards the back of the house to find an airy, bright & updated kitchen with Butcher Block countertops, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, subway tile backsplash, ceiling fan and large windows overlooking your private grilling and outdoor dining space. Clean tiled flooring throughout, an oversized laundry/mudroom serves as an entry-way from the kitchen into the attached garage (yes, really), full downstairs bathroom, and exit to your outdoor space. In a city row-home, these features are rare and priceless! The second floor of the home offers three bedrooms and one full bathroom with a timeless claw-foot bathtub, while the third floor hosts two more bedrooms - one of which could perfectly serve as a top-floor tv room or lounge. Being a corner lot, each bedroom has two windows - another special feature of a Fishtown row home - drenching them all in sunlight at different times of the day. Two of the 5 bedroom floors are cork adding another unique component to the home and a clean and convenient basement completes the room count of 1038 E Columbia and is where you'll find the mechanicals that make the house go. Rest assured that your temperature needs will be met throughout the year with the dual-zoned heating and cooling system along with radiant heaters. Built in 1925, live in a piece of Fishtown history while being a stone's throw to all of the modern bars, restaurants, shops and entertainment venues of famous Frankford Avenue! A walkers and commuters paradise alike, the location cannot be beat with easy access to the light rail at Girard Avenue & route I-95.
