About this home
Tucked along one of Olde Kensington’s quietest residential blocks, 1516 North Palethorp Street delivers the ideal balance of design, scale, and location. This 15-foot-wide residence offers thoughtful craftsmanship and an exceptional layout in one of Philadelphia’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
Positioned just two blocks from the energy of Frankford Avenue and three blocks from Northern Liberties’ 2nd Street corridor, the home sits at the intersection of Fishtown and Northern Liberties — providing immediate access to the city’s best dining, fitness, and nightlife while maintaining the tranquility of a true neighborhood street with easy street parking.
As you approach, the block itself stands out — quiet, neighborly, and private. Inside, the main level welcomes you with high ceilings that carry throughout the entire home. A spacious dining area flows effortlessly into a well-appointed kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, sleek countertops, and a built-in breakfast bar designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Toward the rear, the light-filled living room opens seamlessly to the private backyard through oversized sliding glass doors. The backyard offers an extended footprint with space for dining, lounging, and gardening — a rare and valuable extension of the living space.
The second floor includes two generously sized bedrooms connected by a thoughtfully designed Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Each bedroom features its own private vanity and toilet, joined by a shared central shower, while walk-through closets create a functional, suite-style experience that blends privacy with convenience.
The entire third floor is dedicated to the primary suite — a true retreat. The spa-inspired bathroom features dual vanities, a deep soaking tub with jacuzzi jets, and a large walk-in shower. A spacious walk-in closet completes the suite. From this level, step out to the private rooftop deck — the perfect setting for morning coffee, sunset views, or entertaining under the city skyline.
The finished basement provides valuable flexible space ideal for a home office, gym, media room, or guest suite, complete with its own full bathroom.
Olde Kensington continues to be one of Philadelphia’s best-kept secrets — quiet, residential, and perfectly positioned. Local favorites including City Fitness, Pizzeria Beddia, Laser Wolf, Liberty Kitchen, Middle Child Clubhouse, Kalaya, Stateside Vodka, Suraya, Gryphon Cafe, La Colombe, and Frankford Hall are all within a short walk.
1516 N Palethorp offers width, outdoor space, and walkability — without sacrificing peace and privacy. A rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready home in one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods. Schedule your showing today!...
