Unicorns are rare, but REAL.

It is a magical moment when you are frolicking through the hottest zip code in Philadelphia and you spot one. I froze in my tracks. I rubbed my eyes. Could this be real?  Yes! A home with 3 car garage parking! It is not a myth or fairytale folks. It’s for real! 


Spotted at 2636-38 Salmon Street a simply amazing sight. This 2 story Twin Home with a charming covered porch front is a rare find in the urban jungle. But don’t be timid, you should take a peek. It is quite lovely inside and out.

That this home is a Twin certainly makes it unique. In 19125 there are only 7 twin homes available on the market out of 152. A Twin Home is identified by sharing 1 common wall in the middle and detached on all other sides. They are often mistaken as a Duplex or a Single Detached home but in reality they are Two Homes with individual owners. 

The most mesmerizing part of 2636-38 Salmon St. and what really makes it a Unicorn in Fishtown/ Old Richmond is it’s 3 CAR GARAGE! Hello! Do you know how rare of a find it is to have not just one car parking, not two car parking but THREE CAR PARKING!
