Description

This is it! The perfect blend of historic architectural character and modern convenience!

Nestled in one of Fairmount’s most desirable tree-lined streets, this home greets you with an original Tofani keyhole door. Step through the restored Victorian vestibule, into a grand living room with a stunning marble gas fireplace featuring original wood carvings on the mantle. Beautifully maintained hardwood floors and crown molding follow you throughout the house. There is a well-placed powder room between the living and dining room. French doors separate the dining room into its own lovely retreat. Why settle for a small circular table next to the couch? Here you can host dinner parties and holiday meals in elegance.

The modern kitchen is bright and practical, with stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, good storage and counterspace. The kitchen leads to the charming rear courtyard, perfect for morning coffee and after work wine and cheese.

The little light on the newel post as you head up the stairs is one of the many architectural details making this home uniquely charming. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a large, beautifully remodeled full bathroom with double sink vanity. The bathroom is accessed both from the hallway and directly from the primary bedroom, giving you an en-suite bathroom and a hall bathroom in one. The primary bedroom is spacious, with a second marble fireplace at the center of it (this one is wood burning to cozy you up on those cold winter nights). There are built-in cabinets throughout and two spacious closets. The rear wing of the second floor is currently configured as a two room suite, with bedroom and work-from-home office spaces.

The basement provides endless possibilities, with a flex space, currently set up for workout and yoga, a full laundry area and a rear room providing tons of storage. Derive peace of mind with updating wiring (no active knob & tube!), new water heater in 2024, mini-split air conditioning and supplemental heat and efficient replacement windows throughout.

This Fairmount townhouse is located in the Bache-Martin school catchment, in the heart of the neighborhood, a short walk to neighborhood spots like Figs, Black Taxi, Bad Brother and Brown Street Coffee, as well as Fairmount Park and the Parkway. There is easy street parking, but with a walk score of 92 and bike score of 91, enjoy a carefree, car-free lifestyle!

Why wait any longer? This home is move in ready, just unpack and enjoy!
