An exceptionally rare find, this gorgeous James Hardie-encased and feature-rich Fishtown home combines the best of urban living with the space and tranquility of homes rarely found inside city limits. The exquisitely maintained 17' x 133' property caters to your every need: private 4-car parking, enormous landscaped fenced-in yard, finished basement with bonus room, expansive roof deck, 4 light-filled bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, front balcony, hardwood floors, full laundry room with folding table, gourmet kitchen, sidewalk-level storage area for trashcans or bikes, and time left on the tax abatement.
The open floorplan living on the first floor encompasses a separate dining room and a gourmet kitchen any seasoned chef would be delighted to cook in. The impressive 10’ island which easily doubles as a breakfast bar or entertaining hub. Grey Quartz countertops compliment an abundant amount of white Shaker-style custom cabinetry, a large pantry, and stainless-steel appliances. The cozy family room is just steps away where large sliding-glass doors shine with natural daylight offering views of your private patio and lush 53’ fenced-in backyard area. A convenient half-bath and coat closet complete the first floor.

The second floor offers 2 large bedrooms with tons of light and storage, a landing that offers enough space for another seating area or work space, a laundry room with folding table, and separate linen closet. Moving up, the third floor boasts a remarkable primary suite, double-vanity bath with glass-door shower stall and separate water closet, a 4th bedroom currently tastefully customized as a dressing room by California Closets (but which can easily convert back to a bedroom), as well as even more flexible living space on the landing. Rounding out the interior is a thoughtfully designed finished basement consisting of three rooms: a central entertainment & media space, a generously sized storage room, and a specially-designed sound-dampening bonus room to put to use as a guest room, a private yoga studio/gym, a playroom, home office, a music studio, or any other use that suits your needs as the possibilities are endless!

However, what truly sets this property apart is the variety and caliber of its outdoor spaces. Step through the expansive sliding glass doors from the living room and find yourself in a massive three-section outdoor oasis. Here, you’ll discover an inviting entertainment area, perfect for hosting barbecues and enjoying al fresco dining. Adjacent to the dining patio lies a meticulously kept and serene fenced-in yard brimming with flora that brings a sense of tranquility and ample storage space to city living. Furthermore, the property boasts private 4-car parking, a convenience that not only benefits the homeowner but also their guests. As an added outdoor delight, just outside the primary suite landing lies a beautiful Juliette balcony, providing an ideal spot for taking Zoom calls or savoring a cup of coffee as you watch the sun rising over the city. Topping the residence is a newly-coated, sprawling fiberglass rooftop deck offering unobstructed views of the Philadelphia skyline and partial views of the Delaware River.

Last but not least, 1318 E. Berks is located in an unmatched prime Fishtown location: walking distance to both Frankford Avenue (La Colombe Coffee, Cake Life Bakery, W.M. Mulherin's, Suraya, City Fitness) and Fishtown Crossing Shopping Center (The Richmond Shops IGS Supermarket, Starbucks, Honeygrow).

As an added convenience for ingress and egress into and out of the city, the I-95 on/off ramp is just a few blocks away giving you quick access to all-points including downtown (12 mins), NJ/Cherry Hill commercial district (15mins), Philadelphia International Airport (18mins), I-676 (5 mins), and so much more.

You’re truly in the heart of it all. This home is not to be missed.
