Property Description
Fantastic Huge Fairmount Victorian with excellent bones and ON SITE GATED PARKING, a GARDEN, large lot, central location, THREE bathrooms, full dry basement with tall ceiling, FIVE bedrooms. This home has tremendous potential with just a little imagination and improvements to kitchen and baths, etc. Ample space, plenty of NATURAL LIGHT, wonderful flow from vestibule all the way to rear of home where there is a lovely garden AND a secure parking space with automatic garage door. Parking area could be easily wired for EV or plug-in hybrid. The primary rooms are large and several of the home's original wood floors are retained. Enter thru a vestibule with glass transom, antique fixture and iridescent blue and lime brocade wallcoverings to the spacious living room with 10 foot ceilings and ornate cornices. A crystal chandelier is overhead and there are two huge gold framed Victorian-era-type mirrors that remain with the property. The faux marble fireplace was exquisitely created on a black slate surface. Down the hall there is a wide coat closet, a powder room with vintage fittings and a dining room with exposed brick walls. The kitchen is beyond with a double glass siding door onto the unheated expansion area that is perfect for the bikes or a breakfast nook. There is a view to the garden and parking spot from the kitchen. Upstairs there is an enormous room with double glass doors that served as the library at one time. The bay window and floor to ceiling shelves offer beautiful built in amenities in a room that needs a cosmetic uplift and your décor sensibilities. There is a spacious walk in closet, a bathroom and another large bedroom on this floor. On the third floor is another bathroom plus a separate dressing room with sink. Additional bedrooms are located on this floor as well. The long, tall basement has a built in desk area and a built in workshop space as well as the laundry and mechanical areas. Located right near the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Perelman Building, Fairmount Park, Kelly Drive and other wonderful Fairmount amenities. Overall the house is in move-in condition but in need of modern updating and a very deep cleaning. Owners may not be able to empty house fully of possessions. House is offered in As-Is condition. Roof work done in 2015, see certificate. Ample notice needed for showings. Plan to MOVE IN in for the holidays! Turn this spectacular house into YOUR HOME.
