    PLEASE SUBMIT ALL OFFERS TO THE LISTING AGENT BY MONDAY 5/12 AT 5PM *Knock, Knock* Welcome to 791 North 27th Street. This charming residence in the heart of Fairmount offers a harmonious balance of modern living and classic elegance. Commanding and wide, with 16 feet of frontage and 1,600 square feet of meticulously designed space, the home features three spacious bedrooms and 2.5 newly redone bathrooms thoughtfully crafted to accommodate your life's unfolding stories. Step inside through the solid oak doorway and hand-tiled vestibule to discover the timeless and welcoming atmosphere created by original pine flooring, cozy wood-burning fireplace, and exposed brick accent wall. The living areas flow seamlessly, offering a balanced space for both entertainment and relaxation. The newly updated kitchen is a chic blend of functionality and style, inspiring of culinary and conversational adventures with its decorative tiling, natural quartz countertops, modern stainless-steel appliances, and artful curation of airiness and light. The home extends its allure with its welcoming front porch, a rarity in the area, perfect for enjoying morning coffees or evening sunsets. Raised planters border the front to keep thumbs green and invite life and natural beauty into your space. Out back, through the bright and airy sunroom, a quiet garden oasis waits. Adorned with more raised planters and ample room to grill and dine al-fresco, this large 1,440 sq ft lot is a true gem in the crown. Inside the exposed brick and original carved banister extend upstairs, where this house truly becomes a home. With a convenient laundry area nestled next to an elegant bathroom, two generous-sized bedrooms, and a large sun-strewn master (with newly remodeled en-suite bathroom), no need goes unmet, and no essential project has been overlooked by the loving hands of the current owners. With easy access to both center city and ample green spaces, and situated just blocks from the Art Museum, Boathouse Row, and all the shops and restaurants along Fairmount Ave, this property isn't simply a home- it's a lifestyle. The route 15/G Trolley to Fishtown and access to interstate-76 are also just minutes away, giving you full freedom to roam. Embrace this unique opportunity while it knocks, it won’t linger long!
