Welcome to the flagship residence at the LEED Platinum-certified Ice House Condominium, ideally situated in the heart of Fishtown. Distinguished by its scale, exceptional outdoor spaces, and private deeded garage parking, Residence 4 is truly one of the community’s most distinctive offerings. Spanning an impressive 1,606 square feet, this exceptional three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home is the only residence of its size within the development. Thoughtfully designed across three levels, the home offers a rare combination of generous interior living space and three private outdoor spaces, complemented by a one-car deeded garage parking space. Enter into a sophisticated urban retreat where hardwood floors, custom upgrades, and refined finishes set the tone throughout. The main living level features an expansive open-concept floor plan centered around a beautifully appointed custom kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a striking Caesarstone peninsula. Abundant natural light fills the living space, while dramatic four-panel sliding doors open directly to a landscaped patio garden—creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A stunning floating steel staircase leads to the second level, where two generously proportioned bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, family, or a home office. One bedroom features a walk-in closet, while the level is completed by a full bathroom, dedicated linen storage, and convenient laundry closets. The spectacular third-floor primary suite serves as a private retreat. Exceptionally spacious and filled with natural light, the suite features a custom-built walk-in closet and a luxurious en-suite bathroom appointed with a jacuzzi tub, oversized glass-tile shower, expansive dual vanities, and dual-flush toilet. A second set of four-panel sliding doors opens from the suite to the home’s private balcony and an impressive 475-square-foot rooftop deck, complete with grill hookup and sweeping city and bridge views. Whether enjoying morning coffee, entertaining beneath the skyline, or taking in the city lights after dark, this rooftop is an extraordinary extension of the home. Beyond the residence itself, the Ice House offers an enviable collection of community amenities, including multiple common-area decks, a private dog park, a tranquil koi pond surrounded by drought-resistant landscaping, and a secure covered parking garage. And then there is the location. Just two blocks from the energy of Frankford Avenue and Girard Avenue, you are moments from some of Fishtown’s most celebrated restaurants, cafés, and destinations, including Suraya, Fette Sau, Wm. Mulherin’s Sons, La Colombe, Kalaya, and an ever-expanding collection of neighborhood favorites. Penn Treaty Park and the Delaware River waterfront are nearby, while the Market-Frankford Line provides convenient access throughout the city. With easy I-95 access, Center City and regional destinations are equally accessible. Offering an exceptional amount of living space, three distinct outdoor areas, private garage parking, luxury finishes, and an extraordinary rooftop with panoramic city and bridge views, Residence 4 represents a rare opportunity to experience Fishtown at its most sophisticated.
