Welcome to Fishtown's Awesometown, Postgreen Homes' collaborative and innovative project with the New Kensington Community Development Corporation consisting of 14 townhomes utilizing the latest in modern design, sustainable construction, and intelligent urban planning. As the first LEED V4 Platinum Certified project in Pennsylvania, this 2016 development was one of the first projects in Philadelphia featuring a nonprofit partnering with a sustainable developer to provide environmentally friendly housing. 434 is an end unit with lovely curb appeal and Awesometown's signature red stripe faade. Inside, find an open floor plan with recessed lighting, hardwood floors, and large windows that flood the home with light. The dining area is warm and spacious and begs for a dinner party. The kitchen is the heart of the home and this chef's kitchen does not disappoint. Quartz countertops are juxtaposed with a delicate penny tile backsplash. Custom European-style walnut cabinetry and Bosch stainless steel appliances with a flat surface cooktop create a minimalist, modern look with clean lines. A large island is perfect for food preparation and the ultimate gathering spot for friends and family. A back door leads to a private backyard retreat, the perfect place for summer days gardening and nights grilling and dining al fresco. Truly an entertainer's dream both inside and out. Behind the fenced yard is convenient two-car parking with a permeable driveway, a coveted commodity in the bustling neighborhood. Upstairs, find two bedrooms, a full bath with a soaking tub and classic white subway tile surround, laundry, and an open flex room perfect for a home office or gym. The third-floor sun-soaked primary suite boasts thoughtful details that have been blended effortlessly with modern comforts, creating a truly inspirational sanctuary. The spa-like open bath offers a floating vanity and an over-sized shower with rainfall showerhead. A separate water closet with toilet allows for privacy. A sunny green roof accessed through sliders boasts sweeping neighborhood views and is the perfect place for a cup of coffee on a cool spring morning. Additional home features include the use of sustainable materials, insulated walls and roof, triple pane windows, an energy star HVAC system, and two years remaining on the tax abatement. This modern and green home truly checks all the boxes. A private escape in the heart of Fishtown proper, you are in walking distance to much of the best of the city. Interstate Draft House, just a block away will be your favorite watering hole and you'll love the vegan chocolate cake with Swiss meringue buttercream at Ramona Susan's Bake Shop.
