MT AIRY CARRIAGE HOUSE

I was out previewing houses for a client and came across this unexpected beauty. The house itself was great, an old 7 bedroom Tudor mansion on a half acre of land on Lincoln Drive but the Victorian carriage house was wild. I had to share. Never have I seen one in such original condition, complete with massive rolling doors, stables, well pump and a cute little converted apartment in the 2nd floor. 🤩

Little hidden gems like this keep me on my toes and make the job way more fun. 🙌🏻

FISHTOWN ROW HOME 🤝 SANDWICH HEAVEN

Have you ever dreamed of stepping outside your door and directly into a sandwich shop that has a famed chicken cutlet? I know there are many of us here who have, so let me get RIGHT to the point. This new listing is across the street from Smalls’ Provisions. I KNOW! And not only that, it’s 1 block away from 𝗠𝗘𝗘𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗦𝗘, where you can get another sandwich I love, the hot roast beef.

Whether you are the type of person who would buy real estate b/c of its proximity to legendary sandwiches or not, this interior row doesn’t stop there!

2324 E Hagert St. is move-in ready and has 2 beds, 1.5 baths and 1109 sqft of living space with a rear kitchen and coveted half bath on the first floor, two bedrooms and a full bath on the second floor, and a well-sized dry basement. There’s a big backyard with a patio and a grassy area, great for gardening, entertaining or just having a morning coffee. The current owner carefully restored this interior row, keeping some of aesthetic hallmarks of the neighborhood like the gorgeous fireplace mantle, exposed brick, and center staircase, while updating it for modern living by putting in a hallway between the upstairs bedrooms for individual bathroom access, updating the kitchen and flooring, and adding the half bath and safe. In addition to the cosmetic upgrades, there is brand new plumbing, electric and furnace; the next owner is ready to go!

As I said before, the location cannot be beat: it’s sandwich-ed (see what I did there) between Fishtown and Olde Richmond, in a little neighborhoody pocket I really love that’s less than a 10 minute walk to Riverwards Produce, IGA, and the many shops and eateries on Frankford Ave.

CHESSBOARD HOUSE FOR SALE! ♟️

You voted in stories and I’m here to deliver: a gander at 1 of the 8 “chessboard houses” built by Keasby & Mattison Co for their executives in 1894 in Ambler, PA. The builder of these homes was Dr. Richard V. Mattison, and his company produced the largest amount of Asbestos products at the time. He was even known as “The Asbestos King,” YIKES.

Brightly colored and eightfold gabled, it’s giving eccentric castle vibes, which is appropriate as it’s called “The King’s Bishop.” Just wait until you see the inside! (And for fun, you should also google the street it’s located on to see some of the other houses!)

Now honestly, these bright interior colors are a bit of an odd pairing with the warm wood tones and historical character of the house, but let’s not get caught up in the wrong details. I’m looking at the carved bannisters, mantles, and sideboards, intricate columns and archways, pocket doors galore, picturesque reading nooks, whimsical stained glass windows, and even a 3 tiered bathroom.

The house has 8 rooms and 3.5 bathroom, is 5,159 sqft, and has a really fun attic! It sits on a little more than half an acre and has a carriage house to boot! All I can say is the trick or treating on this street was/is probably epic.

Hi, this is a delightful lil’ renovated row in EAST FALLS and we should all look at it.

I look at a lot of Philly row homes every week! Tons even, and I gotta be honest with you, many of them look like grey boxes in the inside and it makes me sad sometimes. So I always get a shot of Serotonin when I see one that’s warm and inviting and **as you know** full of WOOD details.

This one has 3 beds, 1.5 baths and is 1,240 sqft. It’s simple and bright with hardwood floors, charming built-ins, high ceilings w/ details like a transom above the half bath + a very cute patio and porch situation AND a TIDY basement 👌

Even better, it’s affordable at $399,900 listed by Compass RE.

Easy access to Kelly Dr and the Schuylkill River Trail and near some cuties like Vault + Vine Café and Thunder Mug Cafe old favorites like Fiorino and In Riva.

Shall we take a tour this week? Hit me up in the DMs 👋

Settlement Yesterday with Stan & Sam!

You may remember these folks selling their cute house in Queen Village a few weeks ago (you remember the old gas station with the big windows, right??) and now it was their turn to be the buyers.

Let’s turn back the clock to March when my SHORTSTACK BOOK CLUB friend Ria Capone texted me about sending my number to her friend looking for a bigger place. I got connected with Sam as she was smitten with a house in Queen Village that was the perfect upgrade for their family. We checked it out while Stan was out of town, and visited a few times with her mom, a friend, the kids etc. and made a plan to see it when Stan was back in town and got prepped to list their house. She was MOTIVATED.
Anyway, Stan comes home, we see that house but something was tingling, they wanted more outdoor space, more fresh air, a creek perhaps…so we checked out a few super unique midcentury/contemporary houses in the suburbs and were shocked when we found THE ONE. A custom built single owner house built in 1982 with 4,000sqft, wrap around porch, grand room and a huge yard that backs up to a creek. Yeesh!!

We quickly wrote up an offer, went under contract, sold their house in the city, and upgraded to this insane situation in what feels like the country. Negotiated some big repairs (hello $30k septic) and had a smooth settlement with an immediate move in.

Was a pleasure working with them, so glad Ria trusted me to help her dear friends. And on top of that it’s such a cool house. Remember that false bathroom wall into panic room? Yup that’s this one.

HUZZAH!

COOL CANOPY RETREAT 🌿

I may be back from the West Coast physically, but mentally I’m is still in shady, green spaces. Take a look at this New Hope sanctuary, goddamn.

A 1980s feverdream of a house on 12 wooded acres with an in-ground pool and studio space.

Dining sunroom with garden views? ✔️Warm wood and natural stone accents? ✔️ Slate entryway, floating staircase, and wood-burning stove? ✔️ Lofted library with skylights and mini roof deck? ✔️ Attached garage AND detached garage? ✔️An approach that involves “a quaint stone bridge?” Excuse me!?

This 2 bed, 2.5 bath, 2,210 sqft mid-century is a real vibe and the kind of space you dream about being able to make your own. LET’S TAKE A FIELD TRIP!

PROOF OF LIFE / OOO

Finally got out of town and took a trip to the great state of Oregon. Got to hike the 40mile Timberline Trail on Mt Hood with some friends full of wildflower meadows, saw a Western Tanager, strolled around in Portland, ate some good food, found some free rocks (!) and headed out to the coast to beat the heat, where I caught this insane sunset with the fog rolling in.

Excited to get back after some R&R while Claire holds things down at HQ. LETS KEEP THIS VIBE GOING

I know I always say this but there was a VERY special closing earlier this week. 🥲

Rebecca and I met as many do, walking our dogs through Dickinson Square Park multiple times a day. We were neighbors in Pennsport (Go Falcons!) who ended up becoming friends after our dogs linked up. It’s worth saying Rebecca and her pup Kimba make friends everywhere they go, and down there it was no different.

Anyhow, flash forward 5+ years and we’re both living up in NW Philly and she reaches out with an interesting proposal: landlord wants to sell, so she wanted to buy the house she was renting. We started by running some comps, checking out other potential properties before deciding that this was a great opportunity. From there we got all our ducks in a row with a pre-inspection and contractor quotes to ensure that once we presented our offer that nothing would change. We got to a number, the landlord accepted it and we moved forward. Rebecca’s family was also involved and it was great to help them navigate an unorthodox approach to home ownership.

Was great to have all parties walk away with smiles on their faces and knowing Rebecca has taken control of her living situation, huge!

Thanks for trusting me, I’m so lucky to be supported by my friends and neighbors to get to keep doing this everyday. Looking forward to seeing those renovations, gonna be amazing.

HAPPY SETTLEMENT STEVE AND CORAL

First settlement today with these folks in Fishtown. Steve and I know each other through mutual friends from back in the day. Back in March as they were getting ready to start the process as first time buyers they reached out to see about working together. We immediately met up at (a neighborhood institution) and went over the process. They were early and thought it might be a year until they bought. But destiny had other plans and they got pregnant shortly after, we now had a hard deadline.

After a few months with a couple offers and a bunch of showings we locked in a great house in Fishtown with a roof deck and finished basement, from there the pieces fell into place. Space to grow, space for guests and walkable to everything in Fishtown, we even negotiated money towards closing costs and repairs, a WIN/WIN. I couldn’t be happier for these guys.

Been loving reconnecting with folks from various walks of life to help them through not just this wild journey called “home buying” but also the next steps of “home ownership”, the party doesn’t stop!!

Thanks you guys, so proud of you and so grateful to have earned your trust thoughout this process. 🙏

HUZZAH ✨
