1117 Earl St

Welcome to 1117 Earl St, a truly exceptional home offering over 3,200 square feet of beautifully finished living space on an extra-wide 18-foot lot in the heart of Fishtown. Located within the highly coveted Adaire School catchment and with 4 years left on the TAX ABATEMENT, this home offers the warmth, design, and attention to detail that the modern homebuyer craves on a small, treelined, PERMIT parking only block. Spread across four full floors, this expansive residence features four en-suite bedrooms, an additional flex space, a den, and multiple outdoor spaces, combining the scale of new construction with the thoughtful details that make a house feel like home. The main level is centered around a stunning chef’s kitchen featuring quartz countertops, generous prep space, and a layout designed for both serious cooking (hello pot filler!) and effortless entertaining. The extra width of the home allows for comfortable, open living and dining areas filled with natural light, creating a bright and welcoming first floor that feels far larger than a typical city rowhome. The warm hue of the wood floors radiates beautifully in the afternoon light. One floor above, you’ll find two en-suite bedrooms, offering privacy and flexibility rarely found in the neighborhood, as well as the laundry room with built-in storage. The third floor is the owner’s suite, featuring an expansive bedroom and a stunning bathroom with soaking tub, tiled shower, double vanity, and a custom walk-in closet to die for, complete with a built-in vanity area with a wired drawer for hair styling tools. The owners have also added a thoughtfully designed work-from-home station. This level also includes a bonus room, currently used as a painting studio, that works perfectly as an office, nursery, or yoga room. From here, stare out the enormous window into a wooded patch of Fishtown you never knew existed. Calling the lower level a basement is a major disservice to the thought and care that went into designing this space to be both functional and warm. With a fourth en-suite bedroom and a massive media room / gym, your guests may end up being the luckiest of all. Outdoor living is just as impressive. The rear yard offers a stylish entertaining area and includes the pergola, while the roof deck has sweeping views of the skyline, the Ben Franklin Bridge, and even the gentle moving waters of the Delaware River. Practical upgrades throughout the home include power blinds on the front window with top-down / bottom-up functionality, an ADT alarm system, Blink video doorbell, and a Leviton smart front stoop light that can be controlled from your phone. In front of the home, a custom locking garbage storage enclosure keeps the curb clean and organized, and a 220-volt exterior outlet provides convenient charging for electric vehicles. The location speaks for itself. You are just steps from some of Fishtown’s most loved destinations, including Johnny Brenda’s, Pizzeria Beddia, Meetinghouse, Loco Pez, Lloyd, and ReAnimator Coffee, with Penn Treaty Park nearby for green space along the river. Commuting is effortless with easy access to the Market-Frankford Line, the Route 15 trolley, and I-95, putting Center City and the surrounding region within quick reach. Homes offering this kind of square footage, width, outdoor space, and bedroom layout rarely come to market in Fishtown, and even more rarely within the Adaire catchment. 1117 E Earl St is a special opportunity to own a home with true presence, flexibility, and long-term livability in one of Philadelphia’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
