Recently renovated rowhome in East Kensington with green features, including a solar water heater, a smart thermostat, and recycled denim insulation. This three-story, 1,695-square-foot home sits on a generous 75-foot-deep lot and offers a thoughtfully designed layout with modern updates. The open first-floor plan includes a living room, separate dining area, half bathroom and a kitchen featuring energy star stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a tile floor, and white subway tile backsplash. Sliding Glass doors lead out to a private patio with a storage shed, a pellet grill, and raised garden beds, along with a rain barrel to be used as part of an eco-friendly drip irrigation system. The garden also received a watershed-friendly PA certification from Penn State. The second floor has two spacious bedrooms, ample closet space, and a hall bath. A conveniently located laundry area in the hallway features a full-sized Whirlpool stacked washer and dryer. The third floor is a private primary suite with a generous bedroom, a large walk-in closet plus an additional closet, and a beautifully designed en-suite bath featuring a rain shower with a pebble floor and teak accents. Just off the hallway, a cozy nook provides a versatile space. The highlight of the third floor is the private deck, constructed with durable Trex deck boards, treated wood, and iron railings—perfect for relaxing outdoors. Other features include locally crafted metal stair railings, reversible ceiling fans throughout most living spaces for better energy efficiency, recessed lighting, and bamboo flooring in the living areas and bedrooms. The basement is partially finished, subdivided into two areas with drywall. The drywalled section serves as a space with abundant storage for tools and extra supplies while the other unfinished section includes all mechanicals. The home was recently refreshed with new paint and a granulated rubber roof was installed last year. It was previously featured in The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Home Haven section, highlighting the owners' design choices. Located in a fantastic neighborhood and area, this home is less than a block from Dream World Bakes and within easy walking distance to Forîn, Philadelphia Brewing, Picnic, Little Walter’s, and a variety of incredible restaurants, shops ,and more. Just a few blocks from public transportation on the York-Dauphin or Berks stops on the Market-Frankford line, taking you to Center City in minutes. Easy access to various SEPTA bus routes and a very short drive to I-95 and I-676.
