2505 Townsend St, Philadelphia, PA 19125

This is a renovated 1.5 bedroom, 1 bathroom rowhome with central air and an open floor plan situated in the *real* heart of Fishtown (no real estate agent lies here) on a quiet block. This is ideal for a couple who want a bedroom and a home office or some other flexible space. (The second bedroom has been converted into a home office, ready for a pullout couch for overnight guests) Less than a five-minute walk from LocoPez, Reanimator Coffee, Cedar Point, Green Eggs/Medusa Pizza and many other amenities in thriving Fishtown, this house is ideal for someone who needs a home office/craft space/game room or a couple ready to leave apartment living behind. It's a quiet place near all the neighborhood nightlife you might want. The property is available for June 1. Schedule a tour: serious inquiries only, please. The bright, cozy home features an open first floor plan with a living room, kitchen and stunning bathroom, and a spiral staircase that opens up into a second floor room adjacent to the primary bedroom. The clever layout maximizes the 700 square feet of living space, including a clever trap door down to the basement (no clunky basement stairs taking up space in the living room like other rowhomes), which includes a washer, dryer and storage area. The second story has one comfortable bedroom that opens to a second that most recently was used as an office/studio space. There is a small private backyard area good for a modest garden or storage, and the quiet one-way block is ideal for step-sitting, Fishtown-style. This house has personality and a flower box waiting for you to fill! Before the pandemic, the home was renovated and since then our tenants have been: A young couple who later bought their own home nearby, and a young professional who is moving now. We want someone else to make this their home. The bathroom is a standout, with a colorfully tiled shower and high-end fixtures. The kitchen includes lots of cabinet space, standard stainless steel fridge and compact oven. With new, well-insulated windows, the home has a new central air system and forced hot air heat. There's unrestricted street parking nearby, but no need for a car. You're a 10-minute walk from the Berks El stop and the IGA supermarket, in addition to all the bars, restaurants and other amenities you might need. Fishtown is famously bike-able. 1,600 rent plus utilities to be paid by tenant. The home is available for move-in June 01, 2025, though there is some flexibility for the right tenant. Rent will be paid in full on the 1st of each month in the form of Venmo. Personal check or cash also OK. Payments made after the 5th of any month will require a $25 late fee. To move in, the tenant will need to provide first month's rent and a $1,600 security deposit. That is $3,200 in total. Pets *MAY* be OK for the right tenant who will respect the newly renovated home. Please share your pet needs when contacting us. You will sign a one-year lease. Your landlord lives nearby, so he's accessible. We're committed to this neighborhood and block and want tenants who want the same: join the annual block party, say hello to your neighbors and be a respectful resident. Tenant pays utilities
