Fishtown History meets New Development

Historic homes are part of the unique charm of Phildelphia's neighborhoods.  Fishtown, just north east of Northern Liberties on the banks of the Delaware River, has a distinct history.  The name "Fishtown" is derived from the area's former role as the center of the shad fishing industry. Today it's a diverse neighborhood with artists' lofts and historic homes side-by-side.

1132 Marlborough Street offers a unique opportunity to mix history with new development.  The 3-bedroom townhome built circa 1750 with modern upgrades fronts the property, but in the rear of the large lot you'll see the location of a former trinity that provides the opportunity for development.



Fishtown offers a variety of restaurants and bars such as Johnny Brenda's, and is a dog-friendly neighborhood with easy access to Center City nightlife, public transportation and the freeway.

For more information about living in Fishtown, or to view this unique opportunity at 1132 Marlborough Street, contact Maria Quattrone at (267) 238-1048.
