Description
Step into a beautifully renovated Fairmount rowhome that brings together timeless Philly charm and a fresh, modern vibe sitting on a treeline street across from the park! Inside, you’ll find an open, sun-filled main level with rich dark hardwoods, crisp white wainscoting trim, and warm neutral tones that create a clean, elevated feel. The living and dining areas flow seamlessly into a sleek, updated kitchen featuring white shaker cabinetry, stainless appliances, dark countertops, and a textured glass mosaic backsplash. Upstairs, three bright bedrooms continue the high-end look with hardwood floors and thoughtful design touches—plus a standout primary suite with a spa-like bathroom complete with a jetted soaking tub, separate glass shower, and double vanity. The finished lower level adds even more flexibility with a recreation area, laundry space, and convenient half bath. And when you want a little fresh air? A private brick courtyard gives you the perfect spot to unwind. All of this sits in one of Fairmount’s most walkable pockets—steps from a sprawling park and recreation center, minutes from Center City, and surrounded by everyday essentials and local favorites. Within a 10-minute radius, you’ll find Whole Foods, Bar Hygge, Rybrew, Vineyards Cafe, Warehouse Cafe Philly, Urban Saloon, Jack’s Firehouse, Fairmount Avenue restaurants, boutique gyms, coffee shops, museums, and easy access to major highways and public transit like the Broad street line going from Temple down to the Sports Stadiums. It’s the ideal blend of neighborhood comfort and city convenience… all wrapped into one move-in-ready home.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
