Look no further; this exceptional, architect-designed Art Museum home has space, space and more space! With seemingly endless improvements, this 2-story, 4 bedroom/3.5 bath home, complete with 4-car parking (2-car garage & 2 driveway spaces) will tick all your boxes. Nestled on a quiet tree-lined street in the Fairmount area of Philadelphia, this home offers a rare chance to own 2400+ square feet in the city (plus roughly 1000 sq ft below grade!). The owners combined the two side-by-side homes in a thoughtful and practical way, allowing for interesting and smart spaces. The expansive enclosed porch welcomes you as the perfect place to sit year-round to watch the world go by. Enter into the airy foyer featuring original oak floors with walnut inlay. The living room flows off of the foyer in one direction, and the dining room in another, giving the main living level an open and casual vibe. Step from the living room into a cozy sitting area, which then leads you into your bonus room. Currently used as an office, this fabulously placed room could serve as an office, playroom, art/homework room, or home gym! Towards the rear of the house, the butler's pantry - complete with wet bar and wine fridge - leads you to the dining room and kitchen, making holidays and entertaining effortless. The bright and cheerful kitchen (renovated in 2017) features chic quartz counter tops, large subway tile backsplash, glass front cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, including a hand-made Blue Star chef's range and access to a peaceful, private deck. The main level, completed by a powder room, also offers central AC and refinished floors. The upper level has a special layout and can be as conventional or unique as you want! Welcoming you at the top of the stairs is the lovely sitting area which could be kept as is, turned into a home library, reading/tv lounge, art nook, etc. There are 4 spacious bedrooms, and the current owners have used two of them - plus one of the two hall baths - as the primary suite. There is a second full bath on the upper level, as well. The lower level finished basement just keeps going and features a large laundry room with a full bathroom, another bonus room, ample storage, a massive walk-in pantry, and interior access to 2 separate garages and 2 additional parking spots. This special home also boasts a 2017 roof, updated plumbing and electrical, new porch windows, fresh paint, and more! This home was truly loved and cherished and is waiting for you.
