2563 Kern Street

This beautifully crafted space has sustainable upgrades, incredible outdoor space and tons of special features inside that lend it that unmistakable Fishtown vibe. Original pine floors with tons of natural light, with an open living/dining area that connects to the open kitchen and breakfast bar. A sweet powder room on the first floor and just off the opposite side of the kitchen is this block’s best-kept secret: a walkway that opens into a large garden with a cedar plank Trombe wall—a passive solar design strategy—mature tree for shade, planting beds and cozy hangout space. The speakeasy vibe is completed by the fact that your VIP guests can enter directly from the outside via a gated breezeway with string lights to guide the way. In addition to the private outdoor space, there’s a community garden a few doors down, where you can even grab some veggies for dinner. Upstairs the massive front bedroom features a lofted ceiling, gooseneck barn light sconces, lots of light via front and rear windows, and a full wall of closets with custom systems. The rear bedroom is also good-sized with built-in wardrobe. In between the two rooms sits the bright and stylish bathroom with subway tile tub surround, large vanity and basketweave tile floor; immediately adjacent is a large and airy laundry nook with Samsung frontloaders, which doesn’t simply leave the basement free for storage—this is a space you’d actually want to spend time in. Located on a quiet block off Frankford Ave, this home is convenient to neighborhood favorites like Franny Lou’s, Hello Donuts and Red Brick Craft Distillery, and just a few minutes away from the El and all that Fishtown has to offer.
