1131 E Oxford St House

Historic charm meets modern convenience in this newly refurbished 1920 townhouse, centrally located in Philadelphia’s hottest neighborhood. The home has maintained many of the original decorative elements, and updates have been painstakingly kept in... the 1920s aesthetic of the property. The interior features ornate lighting fixtures, crystal doorknobs, a carved wood bannister, and many other details to be appreciated in person. Additionally, the basement provides ample room for storage and comes with a never-before-used washer & dryer (not shown), and the yard is exceedingly spacious for a city dwelling. Situated in the most vibrant area of Fishtown, the property is just off of the main thoroughfare of Girard Avenue and within a block of two coffee shops, record store, art gallery, and multiple boutiques—yet tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street of single-family homes. A few minutes walk takes you to various modes of transit (the Girard Stop of the El Train, the trolley, busses, Indego Bikeshare), award-winning restaurants, bars/nightclubs, live music venues, dinner theatre, standup comedy, a dog park, several gyms/pilates/yoga studios, a pool club, and two supermarkets. The house is also located 4 blocks from the Delaware River waterfront, the Riverwalk, and Penn Treaty Park. Be sure to click through the thumbnails here for the full vertical photo views, which show the high ceilings and hardwood flooring (please note that a few items belonging to a previous occupant are in the listing photos, but will be removed prior to rental).
