Coming in Spring 2015 is the most exciting new construction to hit Fishtown in just about forever! Frank just sent me the specs for a 20-home development that’s breaking ground just before Halloween at 1326-46 Mascher Street… and it’s pretty damn exciting. These townhomes will combine luxury and high quality, not to mention walking-distance proximity to the hottest spots in […]

If you’ve ever watched House Hunters or any other of those (hella fake) HGTV home-buyer-reality shows, you know that natural light is one of the most-desired selling points in a home. After all, you can knock down walls to create an open floorplan or slather your ugly kitchen in stainless, granite, and subway tile… but you can’t – to the […]

Our first CENTERfold of autumn is a Rittenhouse Square townhome that will take your breath away! I know what you’re thinking: “it’s the Ritt, of course I’m going to be at least moderately impressed.” And, I mean, yeah… that’s true. But this one is – I promise! – something special. If your fantasy home daydreams include images of baronial splendor, […]

They say that the kitchen is the heart of the home, and I’m a believer. From everyday family meals around the dinner table to holiday feasts, some of our best memories happen in the kitchen. Sounds sappy, but it’s completely true! There’s a reason that kitchen renos rank in the top five value-adds for those selling a home – we […]

Everyone likes getting the most bang for their buck. To that end, I introduce Rent In the Range, a new feature aimed at showing off the range of rental homes one could acquire on a certain budget. Today, for instance, I’m going to show you a studio, a 1-bedroom, a 1-bedroom loft, and a 2-bedroom apartment, all within the price […]

[That title was totally meant to be sung a la this earworm from Frozen, obviously. Special thanks to my nieces and nephews, who still haven’t had their fill of the damn movie after almost a year!] There’s a big ol’ building for sale in Center City right now, and it’s not even residential. 1515 Market St. is on the block, […]

The Artisan townhome development (currently in its third building phase) is one of Center City’s most luxe. Tucked in the always-lovely Avenue of the Arts nabe, and with each unit costing at least a cool mil, this community combines killer location with super-sweet upscale living. Today’s CENTERfold standout just went up for sale in the Artisan I community, a home […]
