About 2461 Amber St
Have you been searching for that perfect blend of charm and modern functionality, just blocks from the buzzy Frankford Ave? Welcome to 2461 Amber Street - a lovingly maintained and delightfully unique 3-bedroom home with private gated parking, a secluded deck, and a freshly renovated kitchen. Step inside and you’re greeted by a classic center-stair layout that creates a cozy, distinct living space. The adjoining dining room is accented with built-in shelving and flows into a bright, thoughtfully redesigned kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, a pantry, and crisp white cabinetry that maximizes style and storage. Out back, enjoy the best of both worlds: a gated garage door for secure on-site parking or a spacious garden and patio area perfect for summer dinners and weekend lounging. Upstairs, the second floor hosts a front-facing bedroom roomy enough for both a bed and a desk, plus a generous closet. Down the hall, you'll find a sunny full bathroom (tub/shower combo), convenient second-floor laundry, and access to the private deck. This outdoor escape features pedestal decking and a handmade mahogany door, overlooking a whimsical mural by Fishtown artist Keith Greiman - a lovely backdrop for your morning coffee or evening wine. The third floor offers two additional bedrooms, both with double closets and lots of natural light. And for the entertainer (or enthusiast), there’s a built-in kegerator with three tap lines ready for your beer, cider, or seltzer of choice. An unfinished basement provides ample storage. This home's location is unbeatable - just steps to Forin, Philadelphia Brewing Co., Picnic, Little Walter’s, and all the best of Fishtown, East Kensington, and beyond!
