Why pay high condo fees when you can own your own piece of this desirable neighborhood? And this renovated house in a great Riverside Fishtown location beats a condo any day. Clever renovations give the house great flow and no condo's balcony or deck can rival this backyard. The first floor has a spacious living room with exposed brick wall, newer hardwood floors, and an awesome double-sided fireplace separating the main space from the dining room. The bright kitchen has plenty of cabinet space, granite countertops and access to the dreamy outdoor space with planting beds, a pergola and room for a patio set. Upstairs--where there were once two small, barely usable bedrooms--is the master retreat with large closet and separate dressing area, another fireplace, and reclaimed barn door leading to the recently renovated bathroom. The en suite features a pretty reclaimed wooden vanity and matching mirror with stone vessel sink, stall shower with porcelain tile surround and rain shower head. The location is ideal, with neighborhood hotspots like Johnny Brenda's, East Girard Gastropub, Frankford Hall and Fette Sau just around the corner. And commuters, don't fret: Not only does this block have permit parking, but most of the neighbors have off-street spaces, allowing for easy parking even during peak hours.
