About 535 Watkins St

If you're looking for plenty of parking or space to do woodworking or crafts, this is the property for you! Almost the entire first floor is a large open garage- big enough to fit two vehicles with storage, or to provide both parking and your dream home workshop. At the rear of this garage is a utility room with laundry hookups and access to a side alley. On the second floor you'll find an open floor plan kitchen and living room, with sliding glass doors that open up to a rear balcony. The kitchen features Shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and quartz countertops. To the front is a large sunny bedroom. On the third floor you'll find two additional bedrooms as well as a full bathroom and linen closet. Both of these bedrooms also feature large sliding glass doors with balconies that overlook the treetops, so this home is absolutely flooded with natural light throughout. This property was just completed (with the 3rd story added) and everything is brand new- from the framing, plumbing, electric, to the high-efficiency HVAC system. This sunny home features engineered hardwood floors and LED recessed lighting throughout and offers a unique space in a vibrant neighborhood. This home is located on a charming tree-lined block in Dickinson Narrows- within walking distance to local favorites like Creme Brulee Cafe, Dickinson Square Park, The Dutchess, Grindcore, Bok Building and everything along East Passyunk Ave. Owner is a licensed PA real estate agent.
