What's special
2618 Swain St may be the perfect balance of location, charm, and quality you’ve been seeking in a home. On a quiet street just steps from practically everything great about the Fairmount neighborhood, this classic brick-front row has been meticulously cared for and updated while retaining much of its original charm. After admiring the dapper exterior (don’t forget to look up for the classic cornice!) step into the large bright living space and take it in: the charming original floors with inlay detail, the large windows letting in plenty of natural light, the dining area with space for a decent table, and of course that beautiful stained glass transom window. The kitchen is spacious and functional, with plenty of cabinets, a brand new stove, and a pot rack. Out back, the yard has a wood fence for privacy and plenty of room to grill ’n' chill (the couch can stay!) Upstairs, the south-facing rear bedroom has incredible light, a ceiling fan, and nice size closet. The updated bathroom features dual sinks in a granite-top vanity, wainscoting, and glass block for ample light and privacy. Finally, the large front bedroom has original floors, high ceiling with fan, a generous closet, and…that charming & functional classic wardrobe! Washer and dryer are in the basement, which is clean and dry and offers lots of additional storage. Other highlights include updated lighting throughout, central AC, Ring doorbell, and Nest thermostat. Just a couple blocks from Kelly Drive and the Art Museum, this well-maintained home is the whole package…and it comes at an affordable price that will still allow you to get out and enjoy everything this fabulous neighborhood has to offer! We welcome your visit!
