2609 E Ontario Street is a thoughtfully updated 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home, offering original Philadelphia character and well-executed updates in the heart of Port Richmond.

Step inside to an enclosed front porch with LVP flooring and a ceiling... fan, a comfortable landing before entering the main living area through French doors. The living room is deep and open, with original dark hardwood floors, crown molding, and high ceilings running front to back. Stained glass transom windows at the front bay are a standout original detail, and two modern pendant fixtures keep the room feeling current without working against its character. A staircase runs along the right wall.

The separate dining room has LVP flooring and a trio of glass pendant lights. The kitchen follows, updated with white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, a subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances including a gas range, over-range microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator. A rear door opens directly to the patio.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom at the front is well-sized with strong natural light from a wide window. Two additional bedrooms offer practical layouts and closet space. The full bathroom features white subway tile with a taupe accent stripe, a dark vanity with an arched mirror, and a skylight. The upstairs hallway is finished with pendant lighting and a barn door with a wood frame and frosted glass panels.

The basement runs the full length of the home and includes the washer and dryer, a utility sink, the HVAC system, and a half bathroom.

Out back, a generously sized paved patio with a brick inlay detail and raised garden beds offers a private outdoor space with good afternoon sun.

Campbell Square Park is a short walk away, and Gaul and Co. Malt House on E Indiana Avenue, a neighborhood institution featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, is just around the corner. With easy access to Frankford Avenue, I-95, and I-76, getting around the city is straightforward.

Nearby schools include John H. Webster School approximately 0.65 miles away, Richmond School at 0.7 miles, and Jules E. Mastbaum Area Vocational Technical High School at 0.77 miles.

This is a well-maintained rowhouse with genuine architectural character in one of Philadelphia's most accessible neighborhoods. Schedule your tour today.
