A lovingly cared for gem of a house three blocks from the Philadelphia Museum of Art is ready to delight its new owners. This updated 4 bedroom 2.5 baths 3 story townhouse is located one block north of Fairmount Avenue on a one-way street in a close-knit, community-oriented Fairmount/Art Museum Area which is highly sought after for its proximity to the City's foremost cultural and recreational attractions. Enter the house through a vestibule with a custom coat rack and bench for your coats, shoes, and umbrellas into an open-concept living and dining space that seamlessly flows into a light-filled kitchen. The chef's kitchen offers enough cabinets and granite countertops for an extended family collaborating on a holiday dinner without ever feeling crowded. The sliding doors open to the gorgeous private 30ft. deep garden oasis complete with trex patio. A common passageway back to the street ensures that you will never have to haul cans through the house. A spacious coat closet completes the first floor. Downstairs, you will find a lovely finished space, currently used as a guest room, complete with a half bath, and a utility/storage room. Up on the 2nd level, there are two sunny bedrooms, a light-filled modern hall bath with a soaking tub, and a laundry room. The 3rd floor houses a master suite with an en-suite master bath that is also accessible from the hall. Down the hall you will find a sun-bathed 4th bedroom with four windows and a glass door overlooking the rear yard; it is currently used as a home gym. Below the gym door, a ledger board is ready for a balcony installation and/or a stair to a potential roof deck. This lovingly maintained house offers three full floors of sunlight, gorgeous bamboo floors, recessed lighting, and a two-zone a/c to make you comfortable year-round.
