Fully renovated from the systems out, this Fairmount rowhome features all-new electrical, plumbing, central air, furnace and ductwork, along with two full baths and a finished lower level. Behind its timeless red-brick facade, the home combines classic Philadelphia character with the confidence of a permitted renovation and an included 1-year home warranty. The heavy lifting is done - simply move in. Set on a tree-lined Fairmount block, the home sits moments from Fairmount Park, Kelly Drive, the Schuylkill River Trail, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the neighborhood's cafés and restaurants. Inside, the main level flows naturally from front to back for both everyday living and entertaining. New hardwood floors and recessed lighting carry through the living area, highlighted by a stacked-stone fireplace, into a comfortable dining space and a beautifully finished kitchen with white shaker cabinetry, marble-look countertops and stainless steel appliances. Upstairs, two light-filled bedrooms are paired with two full, spa-inspired bathrooms - an uncommon advantage in a two-bedroom Fairmount home. The primary suite offers dual closets, a double vanity with designer lighting, and a walk-in rainfall shower finished in marble-look tile. The second full bath features floor-to-ceiling tile and a modern backlit mirror. The fully finished lower level adds valuable flexibility for a media room, fitness area, home office or recreation space, along with a dedicated laundry area. Outside, a private fenced patio creates another place to relax or entertain. Schedule your private showing and experience turnkey Fairmount living for yourself.
