Description
Perfectly positioned in one of the city’s most beloved neighborhoods, 790 North 27th Street offers the kind of location that makes daily life feel effortless and the kind of home that makes coming back feel even better. From here, you’re just moments from the iconic Philadelphia Museum of Art, scenic runs and bike rides along Kelly Drive, and evenings spent strolling past the lights of Boathouse Row. Groceries, coffee, and everyday essentials are simple with Whole Foods Market just minutes away, making it easy to grab ingredients on the way home and settle into the rhythm of the neighborhood.
That rhythm continues the moment you step inside. The first floor features an open, inviting layout that seamlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen spaces, ideal for gathering, hosting, or simply enjoying a relaxed night in. Just off the kitchen, a private outdoor area creates a natural extension of the living space, perfectly suited for grilling, dining al fresco, or unwinding at the end of the day. It’s the kind of setup that makes summer evenings feel easy and spontaneous, and weekend entertaining feel second nature.
The finished basement adds valuable flexibility, whether used as a home office, fitness area, media room, or additional living space, an increasingly important feature for modern city living. Upstairs, the second floor offers two well-sized bedrooms and an updated full bathroom, providing comfort and convenience for family or guests, enhanced by a skylight that bathes the space in natural light.
The third floor is dedicated to a charming and private primary suite, lined with exposed brick and custom wood built-ins, complete with its own full bathroom and deep closet, creating a peaceful retreat that feels tucked away from the rest of the home. Just beyond the suite, sliding doors provide access and present a compelling opportunity to create an idyllic roof deck, an easy future enhancement that could deliver sweeping 360-degree views of the skyline, sunsets, and even seasonal fireworks. Adding to the everyday practicality of this level, an additional room located just off the finished bathroom conveniently houses the washer and dryer along with valuable storage space, keeping daily routines organized and efficient.
Fairmount is known for its tree-lined streets, vibrant local scene, and true neighborhood feel, all while offering quick and convenient access to Center City and suburban destinations alike. 790 North 27th Street brings all of that together, location, livability, and a home designed for the way people actually live today.
