In the heart of vibrant Fishtown, between Shackamaxon and Day Street, is the residential haven of Shackamaxon Court. Forged iron gates, handcrafted by renowned local artist Robert Philips, open to an idyllic, private courtyard. At the center stands a staggering Magnolia tree that, when blossomed, provides a picturesque canopy over the brick patio below. In the warmer months, the courtyard is delightfully landscaped and brimming with lush florals and greenery. Installations and mosaic finishes on the interior walls boast an appreciation for the art and residents of the surrounding community. A garage provides bike storage for residents. Stairs lead to unit #12, located on the top level. Open the door into the living room. Diffused natural light pours in from the skylights above and illuminates some stellar features, including vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors. Double windows provide even more light and a delightful breeze. The kitchen offers wood cabinetry, granite finishes, and stainless steel appliances. The hall provides access to the main bath, finished with a generously-sized shower and tub and custom glass fixtures. Across the hall is a well-lit nook, perfectly-sized for an at-home workspace or cozy reading space. The bedroom offers additional soaring vaulted ceilings create a relaxing retreat, and the room itself is draped in light from the Eastern-facing window and skylight above. Though tucked away in a quiet residential community, 1225 Shackamaxon #12 is just steps away from the Frankford and Girard Avenue hub. Head to local shops that are steps away from your front door, including Harriet's Bookshop and Jinxed antiques. Perhaps grab a French pastry and coffee from the flagship cafe La Colombe Coffee Roasters. Indulge at some of the world's top eateries, including Pizzeria Beddia, Kensington Quarters, or Suraya.
