About this home
Extra-wide renovated Fairmount home with roof deck views, large patio, and 3 years remaining on the tax abatement. Sun-filled with generous proportions and excellent natural light throughout, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 3 full and 2 half bath home offers a rare combination of historic character and modern comfort. Additional highlights include a fully finished basement with media room and home gym, two-zone HVAC, and hardwood floors throughout. The extra-wide footprint—rare for classic Fairmount homes—creates open, comfortable living spaces across every level.
Soaring ceilings and a west-facing bay window fill the first floor with natural light. The open layout flows from the living room to a spacious dining area and into the beautifully designed kitchen, featuring a waterfall quartz island, glass subway tile backsplash, and premium stainless appliances. Double glass doors open to the large sunny patio, ideal for summer BBQs and easy indoor-outdoor living. The patio includes a custom shed ideal for storing bikes and trash cans, along with beautifully crafted custom fencing.
The second floor offers two generous bedrooms, each with walk-in closets and private tiled baths, along with a hall laundry room.
The third floor is dedicated to the primary suite, with a spacious front bedroom, marble bath with soaking tub, glass shower, and double vanity, and a bright walk-in closet with built-in organization. At the rear, another room—currently used as an office—features a wet bar and powder room and leads to the incredible roof deck with sweeping 360-degree views, pergola, and plantings.
The finished basement adds flexible living space with a media room, home gym, and additional storage.
Built in 1876 during the nation’s 100-year anniversary celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, this Centennial-era home blends historic character and proportions with the comfort and ease of a modern renovation.
Just steps from Kelly Drive, Fairmount Park, museums, Whole Foods, neighborhood restaurants, shops, public transportation, and Center City, in the heart of one of Philadelphia’s most beloved neighborhoods.
