Fairmount restaurants, the Art Museum, Kelly Drive, MLK running/biking paths, Whole Foods Market, and Target. Also a stones throw away from Center City, Septa’s Broad, Street Line, Rt.33 & 48 bus, and Girard Avenue Trolley lines.

The open first floor boasts a gas fireplace, ½ bathroom, recessed lighting, and crown molding. The modern kitchen has granite counters, a large island and all stainless steel appliances. It is a great space for entertaining with wonderful natural lighting.  As you make your way out the
French doors onto the back patio you will see custom slate hardscaping and garden beds with an
irrigation system (throughout the property including the front window boxes) that simplifies urban
planting for any gardener. The gated rear backyard provides 1 car off-street parking.
Throughout the house you will find nicely finished exposed epoxy brick finishes adding a unique flair to the home. Two zone, HVAC keeps the home comfortable year-round. Making your way to the second floor you have 2 large bedrooms separated by a long hallway, each with their own full bathroom and large closets. The front bedroom also has custom wainscoting and built-in shelves and drawers in the closets. 

On the third floor you will find the master suite, an entire floor with a large, open bedroom and den/sitting room currently used as a home gym! You have a large closet in this area in addition to the closet in the main bedroom.  The gas fireplace against the exposed brick adds visual impact to the bedroom. The fully remodeled master bathroom with custom tile, double vanity, waterfall shower head, niche for soaps, and a shower bench provide a relaxing retreat. At the rear of the main bedroom suite you also have a balcony with city skyline views perfect for relaxing. Moving up from the 3rd floor to the roof on your open riser stairs you will have access to a 2-year-old multi-level composite deck spanning the entire home with 360 degree views of the city with an 8 person hot tub positioned to see the amazing center city skyline!  Strategically placed outdoor electrical outlets add to the potential outdoor activities.
