About This Home

As of August 2025

Beautifully updated single family home with outdoor space in the heart of Northern Liberties. This circa 1900's townhome features 3 bedrooms (or 2 bedrooms plus den), 2 bathrooms, beautifully restored original details, excellent natural light, custom upgrades, high ceilings, and incredible entertaining space. Enter through the beautiful wooden front door with transom window into the open great room boasting wonderful natural light from oversized windows, custom Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors, exposed brick wall, and ample space for multiple living and dining furniture layouts. Adjacent to the dining area is a spectacular curved staircase with stunning woodwork that winds up each floor of the home. The custom hardwood floors continue throughout the upper levels as well. Past the great room is the beautifully appointed kitchen with cherry wood cabinetry, Calcutta gold marble countertops and backsplash, custom butcher block island with built-in microwave, pot filler, stainless steel sink with garbage disposal, tile floor with radiant heating, and high-end stainless steel appliances including a Capital oven and gas range with hood. The kitchen provides access to the private fenced-in patio with stone pavers, perfect for grilling and dining al fresco. The second floor features a spacious family room, generously sized bedroom/den, and a beautifully appointed full hall bathroom with separate laundry room. The spacious family room features another exposed brick wall, built-in entertainment center with display shelving, and an original door with leaded glass transom. At the front of the family room is the light-filled den, currently being used as a bedroom, that can easily be closed off. Across from the family room is a marble appointed bathroom with dark wood vanity, large soaking tub with shower head and designer tilework, tile floor, and a separate laundry room with pocket door that includes custom built-ins with storage and a stacked Whirlpool washer/dryer. The third floor features a generously sized bedroom with wall closet and the spacious primary suite with ceiling fan, walk-in closet with custom built-ins, and luxurious ensuite bathroom featuring a large white vanity with solid surface top, tile floor, and seamless glass-enclosed walk-in shower with designer tilework, bench, wall jets, rain fall shower head, and two additional shower heads. The home also has a large unfinished basement with excellent storage space and new lighting. Additional highlights include beautiful moldings and trim, recessed lighting, new light fixtures from Restoration Hardware and Rejuvenation, new HVAC with Ecobee thermostat, and a shared alleyway for trash. 230 Fairmount Avenue is in a prime Northern Liberties location steps from restaurants, cafes, bars, and retail.
