Property Description
Welcome to 2949 Pennsylvania Avenue, where Philadelphia charm meets an effortlessly cool lifestyle in the heart of Fairmount Park. Picture morning coffee runs on a tree-lined street with sidewalks, evening dog walks in the park after work, sunset views off your deck, weekends at the Philadelphia Art Museum and meeting friends at favorite local restaurants. This 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath townhome offers over 2,200 square feet of sun-drenched space, a finished lower level and the ultimate city luxury - private parking! As you enter the main level you are welcomed by the open layout with high ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen is bright, sleek and made for entertaining, featuring polished quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, generous cabinetry and beautiful windows that pour in light. A glass door leads to a mudroom perfect for four-legged friends - then out to your private patio and grassy yard with irrigated gardens, a hidden oasis for gatherings with friends and family. Just beyond the fully fenced yard there you'll find your dedicated off street private parking spot and a bike shed. The second floor offers a serene primary bedroom, full bath and additional bedroom currently styled as an office. The third floor has two more bedrooms and a large bathroom with double sinks. The 3rd floor deck is ideal for watching the sunset over Lemon Hill, viewing the Philadelphia skyline and perfect for watching the 4th of July fireworks. Finally, the finished lower level adds even more flexibility for a work out space or media room along with laundry and storage. All this, just minutes from Boathouse Row, Kelly Drive, the Schuylkill River Trail and quick access to I-76.
