Nestled on a quiet one-way street in the center of historic Fairmount, you’ll find a meticulously renovated two-bedroom, two full bathroom home. Century old heart-pine hardwood floors welcome you inside while original exposed wooden beams adorn the exceptionally high ceilings overhead. An exposed brick moment when entering the home gives homage to its 100+ year old age while smart home features like the Nest Protect, voice controlled lighting and doorbell embrace 2022.An open-concept first floor allows you to flow through the living room, past the dining area, and straight back to the bright and functional updated galley kitchen. The kitchen was thoughtfully designed and renovated in 2016 and includes stainless steel appliances, abundance of cabinet storage and drawers, an extra large door with sidelight inviting you to enjoy your lovely outdoor space. Dine al fresco, tend to your mini garden or relax by the grill on your brick-paved private back patio.Upstairs you’ll find an oversized, street-facing primary bedroom with extra tall windows and a wall of built-in closets with both hanging features and drawers. A large bathroom has dual entries into the primary bedroom and hallway, double sink vanities, and stylishly functional bathtub/shower. The second bedroom has a lifted built in closet and abundant natural light. Ceiling fans complete both sleeping quarters, and a deep hallway linen closet adds convenience.The basement has been partially finished and can serve as an additional lounging space, office, playroom, or combined. A full bathroom with a stand-up shower and separate laundry area with large GE washer and dryer units sit behind the finished basement area, along with a large storage closet, spacious pantry, and coat cupboard. When renovated in 2016, all electrical for the home was neatly moved to this back area maximizing usable space and away from sight.Perfectly situated between the restaurants and nightlife of Fairmount Avenue, boathouse row, and the up and coming shops of Girard Avenue, this home has it all! Cute coffee and ice-cream shops, restaurants, delicious Bánh mì and even a new dog park/bar are easily walkable. With Kelly Drive and Fairmount Park, playgrounds, and bike shares right around the corner, the choice to opt outside is at your fingertips while the Museum District provides countless indoor options just a short mosey in the other direction.
