Description

Welcome to 842 N. 28th Street—an absolute showstopper in the heart of Fairmount. Beautifully renovated, impeccably maintained, and packed with character, this 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home with finished basement offers something incredibly rare: a backyard oasis that feels like a private resort in the middle of the city! Enter a sun-drenched living space featuring a stunning stone fireplace wall, an oversized front window, a separate dining area, and a gorgeous custom kitchen with black granite countertops and breakfast bar seating. The finished basement adds valuable living space and is perfect for a family room, media room, home office, or gym, offering plenty of storage and natural light. Upstairs, original details shine throughout. The rear bedroom features a bay window, fireplace mantel, and stained-glass door, while the spacious primary bedroom offers beautiful built-ins and an expanded walk-in closet. The oversized bathroom feels like a spa, featuring a glass-enclosed shower and a separate jacuzzi tub. Located on one of Fairmount's most desirable blocks, just steps from parks, restaurants, Kelly Drive, Whole Foods, and the Parkway. Homes like this don't come around often. Unique, stylish, and completely move-in ready—842 N. 28th Street is the one you've been waiting for. The first photo is virtually staged.
