About 1837 E Albert St
Sweet deal!
This listing is 12% below the median price for 2 bedroom apartments in Kensington.
Property Status: Active **AVAILABLE NOV. 22ND** Welcome to 1837 E Albert Street! This lovely 2 bedroom, 1 bath home is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the best of both East Kensington and Fishtown. You're greeted by a cute brick front, south-facing facade outside and modern finishes with an open concept inside. The airy center stair layout allows for the living and dining rooms to flow naturally together, while still maintaining 2 distinct spaces bathed in natural light from the large front window. The main floor also includes a convenient closet by the front door, a rarity in row homes! The updated kitchen is located in the back of the home and boasts stylish shaker cabinetry, a tile backsplash, granite counters and stainless steel appliances. This kitchen inspires regardless of if you're entertaining indoors or out. Speaking of outdoors, off the kitchen you'll find a private back patio with plenty of room to grill & chill, as well as tend to your garden or romp with the pup. The natural light continues upstairs with a skylight in the stairwell leading to 2 large bedrooms (both with closets and sizable windows) and a spacious full bath with updated tile and deep soaking tub. Downstairs the tidy basement offers decent height, an abundance of storage and a full size washer and dryer. Walk to the best of Fishtown and East Kensington, while also having easy access to public transit (Huntingdon Septa station is around the corner). Sample the pierogis at Little Walter's (NYT 2024 Best Restaurants in America) or Laotian specialties at Vientiane Bistro - Philadelphia's dining culture doesn't get better than this and it's all at your doorstep! **Tenants responsible for all utilities and rental insurance.
