About this home
Perfectly positioned on a prominent double corner lot with premium northern and eastern exposure, 1256 N Howard Street represents a masterfully curated 2,800-square-foot architectural sanctuary. Tailored for the discerning buyer who refuses to compromise on design, lifestyle, or location, this turnkey residence sits at the immediate convergence of Fishtown and Northern Liberties. Step outside and you are instantly immersed in a world-class culinary and wellness scene, with the globally acclaimed Laser Wolf directly across the street, the James Beard-winning Kalaya, Suraya, and the La Colombe Flagship just blocks away. Seamlessly matching your active lifestyle, you are surrounded by an elite fitness corridor including Court 16 indoor tennis and pickleball just one block away, Ballers luxury social sports club, City Fitness, and [solidcore].
From the moment you step inside, the home immediately establishes a sophisticated tone, welcoming you with wide-plank espresso hardwood floors and an expansive, light-filled living area. The open main level is anchored by a striking custom stone accent wall with a built-in recessed fireplace, flowing effortlessly into a true chef’s kitchen featuring a premium quartz waterfall island. Outfitted for the culinary enthusiast, the space features an elite heritage appliance suite including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf dual-fuel range, and an ASKO dishwasher. Tailored for effortless entertaining, a hardwired, high-fidelity Bluetooth speaker system runs throughout the entire house, while custom Hunter Douglas window shades soften the natural light across the primary living spaces.
The upper levels offer an uncompromising footprint of comfort and lifestyle flexibility. The entire third floor is dedicated to a peaceful primary suite—a complete, full-floor retreat featuring a tray ceiling, an expansive walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired en-suite bathroom finished with a dual marble vanity and a frameless glass shower. Downstairs, the fully finished 700-square-foot lower level serves as the ultimate flex space. Beautifully optimized for modern living, this zone is perfectly suited for a media room, executive home office, or private home gym, alongside a fourth bedroom and full bathroom ideal for guests.
The urban lifestyle culminates on the massive roof deck, meticulously engineered with a premium synthetic grass system laid over custom fiberglass. This private sky lounge features a permanently installed architectural pergola with hardwired LED lighting, a fully equipped wet bar with a beverage refrigerator, and optional luxury Arhaus rooftop furniture wrapped in Sunbrella fabric—making it an unrivaled backdrop for hosting against a skyline backdrop. For the urban gardener, an integrated water hookup stands ready for a rooftop drip-irrigation system to support privacy plantings.
Beyond the striking aesthetic, the home’s carrying costs are exceptionally low, offering a rare layer of financial insulation. Enjoy significant protection with more than 3 years remaining on a 10-year tax abatement, zero HOA fees, dual-zone climate control governed by Nest thermostats, and superior Energy Star efficiency. Completed by pre-paid parking for one year located just a two-minute walk away and hard-wired, closed-circuit exterior security cameras, this home offers total peace of mind. With effortless access to Center City and the Market-Frankford Line, this is high-end urban living at its absolute finest....
