NEW PRICE! This home is a top-to-bottom rehab on a quiet street in Fairmount. Fit, finish and quality are evident at every turn, from red oak floors to seamless baseboards and architect's interior doors throughout. The first floor combines an historical floor plan with modern flair. The living room, large enough to accommodate a six-foot grand piano with room to spare, flows into a dining room with dramatic lighting and plenty of space. Then step into the light-filled kitchen, with natural slate countertops, stone floor tile, KitchenAid® appliances, and a sound system with built-in speakers throughout the first floor. Entertaining goes naturally from the kitchen out to the backyard, with concrete pavers and ample privacy provided by a new fence and ornamental plantings which rise to eight feet of green and scarlet leaves in the summer months. Take the reassuringly solid new stairs up to the second floor, which features two large bedrooms, with an office/third bedroom in the middle and a luxurious bathroom with exquisite tiling and a large bathtub. Each bedroom has a full sized closet with heavy duty chrome fittings and storage shelves. The front bedroom features massive Posey® windows, which further reduce sound from the already quiet street. Throughout the second floor, and indeed the entire home, you will notice all the signs of a well-designed HVAC system, with vents in the walls instead of the floors, and system returns in every room. The home continues to impress on the third floor, with a full-sized bath featuring two levels of mosaic tiles and a comfortable walk-in shower shown off by a large skylight. The master bedroom gains spaciousness from an unusually high ceiling, with recessed lights and dimmers here as in most other rooms. On the way back down, you may notice how the home office nook leads through a massive Anderson® door onto a lower roof which is deck ready, with lighting, electrical outlets and even an exterior water outlet for roof-gardeners. The main roof surface was redone in 2007, when the chimney was also rebuilt. Views of the Comcast Tower and other landmark buildings from the lower roof confirm that Center City is only a short walk or bike ride away. If you drive, the one-way street has unrestricted parking on both sides. After returning to the first floor, another extra awaits on the lower level -- a fully finished basement with tile floors and natural light, a separate laundry room with washer and drier, and a small powder room. The finished basement is ideal for fitness, media or a playroom. In summary, every level of this home provides a delightful space to enjoy the best of City living
