Description

Set along one of Fairmount’s most recognizable corridors, 1916 Fairmount Ave offers an impressive combination of space, versatility, and location. This 2,300 -sq-ft home features four bedrooms and four and a half baths and a finished lower level. The home was once used as a storefront, giving the property a unique connection to Fairmount Ave’s history. Today, its classic façade and three-story profile hint at the scale and architectural details found inside. Enter through custom front doors into a beautifully tiled vestibule, where French doors, a grand staircase, crown molding, and thoughtfully preserved details introduce a home that successfully blends historic character with modern updates. Plantation shutters dress the street-facing windows, Roman shades have been added to the rear wi ndows, and the interior and exterior have been freshly painted. The first floor impresses with its scale and soaring ceiling heights, reaching 14 ft in the living room. A large front picture window and transom windows bring in abundant natural light, while a gas fireplace creates a warm focal point. The proportions easily accommodate substantial furnishings, yet the open-concept design maintains a natural flow between the living room, dining area, and kitchen. The kitchen is finished with quartz countertops, rose gold hardware, and LG stainless steel appliances, including the refrigerator, range, microwave, and dishwasher. Beyond the kitchen, a powder room and expansive butler’s pantry and dry bar with a wine refrigerator provide additional storage. From here, exit to the private rear courtyard, which has been leveled and finished with artificial grass to create an easy-to-maintain retreat. The second floor is home to two bedrooms, including the primary suite. The rear bedroom features beautiful built-in shelving and offers flexibility for use as a bedroom, office, nursery, or den. At the front, the primary suite spans the full width of the property and is filled with natural light. Cosmetic ceiling beams add architectural interest, while a walk-in closet and bathroom with double vanity and steam shower complete the suite. Ceiling fans and updated lighting have been installed in the bedrooms, adding comfort and functionality. Continue to the third floor, where additional bedrooms and two full baths provide privacy and flexibility for family and guests. Both baths have been refreshed with new vanities, while the en-suite bath also features updated shower fixtures and a newly tiled shower floor. Ceiling fans and updated light fixtures continue throughout the bedrooms on this level. A new roof over the third floor was also installed, an important recent improvement. The finished lower level extends the living space further. A large flex area offers room for a gym, playroom, media space, etc, complemented by another full bath, dedicated laundry area with utility sink, and storage. A custom bar with cabinetry, tile backsplash, dedicated lighting, glassware storage, and a second wine fridge makes the lower level equally suited for entertaining. Barn doors have been incorporated into select storage areas for function and style. Significant updates have also been made to the major systems, including a two-zone HVAC system, three replacement water heaters, and a whole-home water filtration system. Additional enhancements include new stair and hallway runners, crown molding throughout much of the home, new and replacement windows, and exterior security cameras. Fairmount delivers one of Philadelphia’s most desirable lifestyles. Restaurants, cafés, and everyday conveniences are all close at hand, while the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Barnes Foundation, Rodin Museum, Kelly Drive, and the trails and green spaces of Fairmount Park are just minutes away. 1916 Fairmount Ave offers historic character, meaningful updates, flexible living space, and walkability that makes Fairmount an enduring place to call home.
