The extra-wide footprint—rare for classic Fairmount homes—creates open, comfortable living spaces across every level. Soaring ceilings and a west-facing bay window fill the first floor with natural light. The open layout flows from the living room to a spacious dining area and into the beautifully designed kitchen, featuring a waterfall quartz island, glass subway tile backsplash, and premium stainless appliances. Double glass doors open to the large sunny patio, ideal for summer BBQs and easy indoor-outdoor living. The patio includes a custom shed ideal for storing bikes and trash cans, along with beautifully crafted custom fencing. The second floor offers two generous bedrooms, each with walk-in closets and private tiled baths, along with a hall laundry room. The third floor is dedicated to the primary suite, with a spacious front bedroom, marble bath with soaking tub, glass shower, and double vanity, and a bright walk-in closet with built-in organization. At the rear, another room—currently used as an office—features a wet bar and powder room and leads to the incredible roof deck with sweeping 360-degree views, pergola, and plantings. The finished basement adds flexible living space with a media room, home gym, and additional storage. Built in 1876 during the nation’s 100-year anniversary celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, this Centennial-era home blends historic character and proportions with the comfort and ease of a modern renovation. Just steps from Kelly Drive, Fairmount Park, museums, Whole Foods, neighborhood restaurants, shops, public transportation, and Center City, in the heart of one of Philadelphia’s most beloved neighborhoods.
