About this home
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.

Northwood, located between Roosevelt Boulevard and the Pennypack Creek corridor, is a residential and commuter-friendly Philadelphia neighborhood with brick rowhomes and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Roosevelt Boulevard and Cottman Avenue junction, where auto shops, corner takeouts, and everyday retail create a steady street rhythm. Housing stock leans toward mid-century twins and rows with small front lawns and rear alleys. Pennypack Park’s trails and creek edges shape the outdoor routine. Community touchstones include the historic Northeast Philadelphia Airport and the Pennypack Environmental Center. SEPTA bus lines along the Boulevard keep daily errands and Center City commutes in motion.
