Welcome to 1208 Unity Street, a beautifully reimagined four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home in Lower NE Philly's, Frankford neighborhood, offering three levels of thoughtfully redesigned living space, contemporary finishes, and a fenced backyard. Step inside to discover an open-concept main level featuring attractive flooring, recessed lighting, and a welcoming living room that flows into the dining area and beautifully appointed kitchen. The kitchen serves as the centerpiece, showcasing white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, contemporary pendant lighting, and a striking waterfall-style island with an integrated sink and seating space. Toward the rear of the main level, a bedroom with sliding glass doors provides direct access to the backyard, while a beautifully renovated full bathroom adds convenience and flexibility to the floor plan. Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom, featuring modern tilework, contemporary fixtures, and a glass-enclosed tub and shower combination. The completely finished lower level expands the home's usable living space, offering a recreation area, additional flexible rooms suitable for a home office, exercise area, or hobbies, a convenient half bathroom, and a dedicated laundry area. Beyond the contemporary finishes, the reconstruction also includes a new HVAC system and new windows, providing important improvements to comfort and everyday functionality. Outside, the fenced backyard features a concrete patio and open space for outdoor seating, gardening, or other recreational uses. Three local favorites include the Frankford Avenue corridor, offering neighborhood shopping, businesses, and everyday conveniences; Frankford Transit Center, providing SEPTA rail and bus connections throughout Philadelphia; and Overington Park, a neighborhood green space featuring mature trees and landscaped gardens. Access to Roosevelt Boulevard and Interstate 95 provides additional travel options throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding region. With its extensive reconstruction, versatile floor plan, finished lower level, and private outdoor space, 1208 Unity Street offers an appealing combination of modern design and everyday functionality.
