Fresh drywall, clean grout lines, and appliances that have never been touched -- stepping into this two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence at Urby Fishtown feels the way a first morning in a new city should feel: full of possibility and entirely your own. At 880 square feet, the layout is thoughtfully proportioned, giving you enough room to live generously without a single square foot going to waste.
The kitchen anchors it all. Upgraded countertops stretch across a workspace that feels genuinely purposeful -- wide enough for a cutting board and a glass of wine simultaneously, smooth enough to make cleanup a nonconsideration. Stainless steel appliances line the space with a quiet confidence: a self-cleaning oven, a built-in microwave, a refrigerator with an ice maker, a dishwasher that handles the aftermath so you do not have to. The open floor plan lets the kitchen breathe into the living area, so whoever is cooking is never cut off from the conversation. This is a space designed for the way people actually live -- not in rooms, but across them.
Both bedrooms offer genuine retreat. Walk-in closets bring real storage to both, and window treatments are already in place, so the first night here is yours without a trip to the hardware store. The two full bathrooms mean morning routines never have to be negotiated, which matters more than most people admit until they have had to wait.
In-unit laundry -- washer and dryer both -- handles the domestic rhythm quietly in the background. A disposal, a garbage disposer, and every appliance you would spend months sourcing are already here, already installed, already new. This is brand-new construction, and it reads that way in every detail: the finishes have not faded, the fixtures have not loosened, the walls have never held anyone else's memories.
The building's amenities extend what the unit begins. A fitness center means the morning workout does not require a membership elsewhere. The roof deck is where Fishtown spreads out before you -- the low-slung rooflines, the water towers, the particular amber light that settles over this neighborhood on a weekday evening when the work is done and the night is still deciding what it wants to be. A clubhouse and meeting room handle the professional overflow when working from home requires a change of scenery. A picnic area and dog park round out the outdoor options, and elevator access makes every floor as practical as the first. Pets are welcome -- cats and dogs both -- subject to number, size, and breed guidelines.
Parking is available on the street. The building itself is part of Fishtown's larger story -- a neighborhood that spent years as Philadelphia's best-kept secret and has spent the last several finding out what happens when everyone figures it out at once. New restaurants opening alongside longtime corner bars, independent coffee roasters two blocks from mural-covered walls, the kind of walkable density that makes a car feel optional rather than essential. Living here means being embedded in that momentum from day one, in a building that did not try to smooth over the neighborhood's character but was designed to stand inside it.
This is Fishtown as it is becoming -- and a home that was made for exactly this moment. Pricing and availability subject to change on a daily basis. Photos are of model units. Parking may be available subject to availability and may be an additional fee.
