    What's special

    Pack your bags and move right into this three-bedroom brick-front home on one of the most desirable blocks in Fairmount. Enter through the sunny vestibule into the open-concept living room and dining area. Original pine wood floors and exposed bricks give this space an undeniable warmth and classic elegance, with a nice balance of original charm and clean finish updates. The bright eat-in kitchen checks all the boxes with stainless steel appliances, a white subway tile backsplash, white cabinets, and a brand-new white Carrara quartz countertop. Exit from the kitchen to the private, fenced-in patio with plenty of room to entertain. Upstairs, you will find three spacious bedrooms and a renovated full tile bathroom with a combination tub/shower. The basement runs the full length of the house to accommodate your storage and laundry needs. Conveniently situated a short walk from the Route 48 bus stop on Brown, commuting across Center City is a breeze. Enjoy leisurely strolls down the Ben Franklin Parkway, where you'll discover an array of museums, the Swann Memorial Fountain, and the blossoming Azalea Garden behind the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This home's prime location ensures easy access to shops and restaurants on both Fairmount Ave and Girard Avenue. Nearby grocery options include Whole Foods, Aldi, and Giant. For outdoor enthusiasts, Fairmount offers proximity to Lemon Hill, Boathouse Row, Kelly Drive, and Smith Memorial Playground, providing endless opportunities for recreation.
