About This Home
As of December 2019This house is truly the best of both worlds; modern updates with all of the classic charm. This home was renovated from top to bottom and many original details were restored while thoughtful modern updates were installed. From the moment you enter in you will notice the charm of the restored original double doors, slate/marble vestibule wainscoting, matching fireplace surround and stained glass transom windows. The First floor is open concept with a new half bath and gas fireplace. Oak hardwood floors and new recessed lighting throughout. The kitchen includes custom cabinets, stainless steel/slate fingerprint resistant appliances, quartz countertops and copper accents. The kitchen leads to a generously sized city backyard perfect for grilling or relaxing in an outdoor living room. The basement is unfinished and a dry spacious storage area. The second floor has 3 bedrooms and full hall bath that includes a double vanity and bathtub. All 3 bedrooms are well sized with the smallest of the 3 accommodating a full sized bed. The entire 3rd floor is the master suite and was built from scratch. It includes a master bath with large walk-in shower with frameless glass doors, double vanity and great natural light. Master bedroom includes a walk-in closet and laundry. The renovation includes all new mechanicals: HVAC, complete re-wire along with a new 200 amp service line, and plumbing throughout in addition to a new copper service line from the street. This 16 foot wide lot Fairmount classic with it s high ceilings and great natural light is a must see.
