Newbold Renovation

This Newbold renovation transforms a classic brick-front home into a modern 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence with a full top-to-bottom upgrade and a 10-year tax abatement. Featuring an open-concept layout, exposed brick, reclaimed details, and high-end finishes, the design blends character with contemporary living.

A private rear patio and flexible basement space add functionality, all just steps from East Passyunk. This project highlights thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and effortless city living.
