About This Home

This is the perfect balance of original charm and modern amenities in leafy Fairmount. Step through the original double doored vestibule and into the spacious living area with large windows and lots of light. Original wood floors are in excellent condition, as is the original staircase with newel post and double glass french doors with transom and sidelights. The open kitchen and dining area is perfect for entertaining and leads to a tidy backyard for al fresco dining and access to quiet Bailey Street. This street to street home backs up to a small block of Bailey where neighbors and kids meet up for block parties and impromptu neighbor hang outs. It also doubles the options for parking. Back inside, the primary bedroom features large cabinets for storage, a walk in closet, and en suite full bath. The back bedroom is very large and can be used as a den for movie nights and family time arts and crafts, a perfect compliment to the living area downstairs. The third floor bedroom and bath are spacious and convenient. A full basement provides ample storage. Close to coffee shops, neighborhood restaurants and bars, as well as Fairmount Park, Kelly Drive, the PMA, Barnes Foundation, and everything the Parkway has to offer, this home's location is perfect for anyone looking for a close knit neighborhood vibe with all of the big city amenities.
