Colorful Fishtown home with character asks $425K

A Fishtown home has hit the market and is brimming with personality, from the yellow-painted exposed brick in the living room to the chevron backsplash in the kitchen.

The 1,414-square-foot property is a two-story home with a dormer bedroom, and sits between two taller rowhomes at 1215 Malborough Street. It immediately opens to a colorful step-down living room. Here, original hardwood floors are coupled with exposed brick that’s been painted yellow. A wall of built-ins add some character to the space.

The color continues in the dining room, kitchen, and surprise breakfast room. The kitchen features a chevron tiled backsplash, which is a nice change from the subway tile trend. What’s nice here is that the eat-in room leads to a private back patio.

Upstairs, there are two full bathrooms (there’s another half-bath elsewhere) and three bedrooms, one of which is the dormer room that’s accessible via a winding staircase.

One thing to note is that the home does not have central AC. The asking price is $425,000.
