867 N 43RD STREET

This nicely renovated turnkey duplex has stylish kitchens and baths, maple floors, in-unit laundry, high ceilings with recessed lighting and great natural light in both of the two-bedroom units, and is in an area absolutely booming with development. From the historic brick porchfront is a shared vestibule entrance with cement starburst tile floor and transom window. The first-floor unit has a set of large front windows in the open-plan living space, where the kitchen and living room are separated by a butcher block island with breakfast bar. The kitchen features white Shaker-style cabinets, stainless steel appliances including a Samsung five-burner range and Whirlpool dishwasher, and white subway tile backsplash. The hall bath has large-format porcelain tile floor and a tub with elongated subway tile surround and contemporary vanity. The spacious middle bedroom has two windows and a good-sized closet, while the larger back bedroom has two closets and exclusive access to the extra-deep back yard. This unit also has private access to the basement, where there's laundry and lots of storage space. The second-floor unit has a private staircase with exposed brick wall that opens to the spacious open-plan living area. Both bedrooms have two windows and are on opposite ends of the apartment-the front has a tray ceiling and two closets, while the rear is closer to the hall bath, which is not only a super-stylish space with oversize Terrazzo hex tile floors, an oversize step-in shower with pennytile floor and elongated subway tile surround and transom window, but also conveniently houses the stacking washer and dryer. Nestled just off the Lancaster Ave commercial corridor,, and also close to both Belmont and Girard aves, the location offers easy access to neighborhood businesses, trolleys, I-76 and Fairmount Park, and is two blocks from a community garden.
