1132 E Oxford St

Iconic river side rowhome with all the right vintage touches aches for its next chapter. We can't wait for you to see this lovingly maintained home on a charming tree-lined street in the river side section of Fishtown. You'll be greeted by warm and elegant oak hardwood flooring with walnut inlay. The main floor features the original multi-toned marble mantel, oak paneling and original hardware like fluted glass door knobs. The 6-burner Premier stove is easily the star of the eat-in-kitchen along with open cabinets and two big windows for west and south-facing light. There's convenient main floor laundry and a powder room behind dark oak doors. The spacious rear patio holds raised beds for gardening; stop by soon and you'll see a hops vine growing tall, planted by the owner who hailed from a legacy of brewers. Upstairs you'll find 3 sizable rooms with cedar closets, original floors and dark oak paneling. The home still uses sash cord windows with weights and pulleys, well maintained by the seller and in good shape. The bathroom is truly a throw-back to another era with a nearly pristine clawfoot tub, paneling and original medicine cabinet. Why change a thing? Our favorite vintage artifacts are the art deco lighting fixtures right out of the Roaring 20s. This location off Girard Ave. is convenient to Fishtown attractions, Aramingo Ave. and Columbus Blvd shopping, and highway access, while still feeling quaint and relaxed. Cozy and warm with good bones, this home has been loved and is ready to add to its legacy. This is truly a must see.
