245 E Wildey St House

Welcome to 245 E Wildey in the heart of Fishtown—where creativity and design collide in an architectural gem. This 4-story, stand-alone home is a true masterpiece that blends historic charm with modern sophistication. Enter through the... 19th-century wrought iron gates and into a beautifully landscaped front yard. A towering cedar tree provides shade and privacy, while raised garden beds invite you to cultivate your own herbs and flowers. Step inside and you’re greeted by a living room with exposed brick, wooden beams, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace—a perfect spot to unwind. Beyond the living room, you'll find a custom-designed kitchen by Craftwork Design that’s as functional as it is stylish. Concrete and butcher block countertops complement lapis cabinetry with brass hardware, while high-end stainless steel appliances—including a dual dishwasher—cater to the most discerning chef. A repurposed bar adds both charm and extra counter space, and additional storage seamlessly flows into the dining area, which is flooded with natural light. Perfect for your collection of house plants, the space also features a beverage fridge and wine rack, making it ideal for entertaining. The sliding back door opens to a private brick patio, bordered by high walls and shaded by towering pines. On this level, a convenient half bath is tucked away for your guests' comfort. Downstairs, the full, unfinished basement offers ample storage space, plus a washer and dryer for added convenience. Upstairs, the second floor showcases beautifully designed custom wallpaper and well-maintained original hardwood floors and salvaged yellow pine from Provenance. Antique solid core doors add an extra touch of vintage appeal. The full bath features a copper soaking tub, creating a serene retreat. Two spacious bedrooms with exposed brick complete this level, featuring a second laundry room—complete with a basin and drying racks—making laundry day a breeze. The third floor is a true sanctuary, featuring two more spacious bedrooms—one with exposed brick and the other with custom wallpaper. A Juliet balcony offers a peek at lush treetops, and a luxurious full bath features a stunning walk-in shower with emerald-tiled accents. For pet lovers, this home has been thoughtfully designed with raised catwalks and hidden doors for your feline friends to roam freely. A compartment with a discreet kitty door hides the litter box, keeping your home neat and tidy. Finally, the roof deck is a showstopper, offering panoramic views of the waterfront, the Ben Franklin Bridge, and the Philadelphia skyline. Complete with comfortable seating and plenty of planters, it’s the perfect spot for relaxing or entertaining. Located just two blocks from the vibrant Frankford Ave, you'll have easy access to Fishtown's nightlife, dining, boutique shopping, and more. Plus, the Frankford-Girard SEPTA station is only a 5-minute walk, giving you quick access to Center City, while I-95 is just half a mile away for easy commuting. 245 E Wildey is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle.
