Welcome home to this architect-renovated Fairmount classic where historic charm meets modern comfort. The original woodwork, rich hardwood floors, high ceilings, and crown molding set the tone throughout the main level. The first floor is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a gracious living room anchored by a preserved vintage fireplace mantel and a classic dining room with a charming cutout connecting the two spaces—perfect for effortless flow and added character. A convenient powder room with updated fixtures completes the main level. The bright, thoughtfully updated kitchen shines with a professional stainless range, marble backsplash, Caesarstone counters, and recessed lighting, all enhanced by excellent natural light. From the cabinets to the hinges thoughtful details delight throughout the space. Out back, the spacious and beautifully designed yard is a true standout—an inviting extension of the home with lush plantings for privacy and shade, a patio ideal for entertaining or relaxing, and thoughtfully installed permeable pavers that improve drainage while keeping the space low-maintenance and eco-friendly. Upstairs, the second floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms with modern closets and great natural light, along with a tastefully renovated full bath featuring marble tile floors and premium fixtures. The lower level provides a clean laundry and flexible storage. Just steps from Fairmount Park and minutes from Boathouse Row, this home sits in the heart of the Fairmount/Brewerytown corridor, close to neighborhood cafés, dining, and easy Center City access. Timeless architecture, a standout yard, and unbeatable park proximity—this one truly is truly a keeper.
