"Pretty as a picture" sums up this prime location Art Museum rowhome, tucked behind The Perelman Building on one of the friendliest streets in Fairmount. Edison lights strung the length of the street twinkle at night & block parties are scheduled throughout the year. 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms with second-floor laundry and private backyard. A tasteful blend of old and new: original pumpkin pine floors, but energy efficient Anderson windows, central A/C, recessed lighting, and every room wired with built-in speakers. Enter from the marble-floored vestibule into the open living/dining space with built-in bookcases and exposed brick. Large sunny window with remote control custom silk Roman Shade. Powder room added in 2018 but blends in like it has always been there. Updated kitchen with matching black stainless KitchenAid appliances, granite countertops, extended height maple cabinets and custom Roman shades of hand-blocked fabric from Edinburgh, Scotland. Walk out to your private patio, behind which is a handsome stone wall with an arched opening. All of the houses on the block were built with three bedrooms upstairs and one tiny bath; a previous owner reconfigured the second floor, to create two large bedrooms, a walk-in closet, and a spa-worthy bathroom with honed marble vanity and laundry closet. The basement walls have been completely parged and painted, adding ample space for workouts, crafts, and storage. Easy walk to Boathouse Row, Whole Foods, Target, and The Barnes.
