Admire the handsome brick exterior of this modern luxury home with features that are hard to find in a Center City townhome: a private attached garage with remote with interior access + a first floor bedroom suite that opens to a backyard oasis + spectacular 360 Trex roof deck with breathtaking views. Feel a warm welcome as you enter through the pretty red door into this newer house that's been softly customized into a home sweet home. Gracious dimensions and a thoughtful layout designed by John Bushnell with an eye to light make this 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath home a delightful retreat. And the location. This is why you live in the city (and specifically in Fairmount). Walk to Osteria, Tela's Market and Kitchen, Bar Hygge, rybread, Jack's Firehouse to name a few. Less than 2 blocks to Broad St/Fairmount Station and a short walk or bike ride to the Art Museum, Kelly Drive, the Parkway Museums and Boathouse Row. The flagship Whole Foods, Fairmount Hardware and the Eastern State Penitentiary for Halloween events are all close. 1524 Fairmount Ave is a beautiful, open, spacious, light-filled home with cherry hardwood floors throughout. The first floor has a wide front hallway, coat closet, powder room and a large bedroom with an ensuite bathroom with tub and clothes closet. Sliding glass doors open onto a fenced back patio with permeable pavers that minimize stormwater runoff. The patio has 3 light sensor lamps, 2 electrical sockets & a hose hookup. There is plenty of room for a grill, large table and multiple chairs and/or benches for "al fresco" entertaining. The tall garage with remote door opener and raised storage shelves flows inside to the bonus first floor powder room. In the lower level, you will find a bedroom, full bathroom with shower stall, 2 door closet, along with a special 17 foot long closet with sliding doors. Also, a storage room with shelves + Bradford White 50 gallon high efficiency hot water heater & pump that was installed in 2020. The second floor is the open concept main living area, light filled and spacious with juliette balconies on each end. The kitchen has quartz counters, subway tiles, stainless steel appliances, pendant lighting & lots of storage, including a specially built floor to ceiling pantry closet. The third floor has two large bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. The primary bedroom has two closets with built-in organizers and dual sink bathroom with large tiled shower. The other bedroom has a walk-in closet with built-in organizers and a bathroom with tub. Handy laundry room with shelving for linens between the bedrooms on this floor. A stairwell leads up to the lovely expanded roof deck with railings with solar lighting that overlooks our gorgeous city! 1524 Fairmount Ave is that hard to find home with natural, beautiful gathering spots and so many private spaces for personal space, work from home, guests and other possibilities.
