2526 BROWN ST
Philadelphia, PA 19130

The seemingly impossible to find spacious living on 2 floors (with easy steps) + an enormous backyard in a prime Art Museum Area location. The average lot size for a Center City row home is 14' x 45'. 2526 Brown St is an exceptional 16' x 80' - and uses this natural size to its advantage. Lush deep yard + a courtyard off the kitchen. Expertly renovated by Niemiec & Co, this home is special. Very high end, but comfortable. And terrific light throughout. Perfect balance of maintaining character and a fresh move in ready feel. Handsome brick facade on a charming block close to Kelly Drive and Fairmount Park. Enter into this wide open masterpiece with a custom chef's kitchen with extended waterfall countertops, stainless appliances, 5-burner gas range, Bosch dishwasher, custom cabinetry and many thoughtful touches. This leads to the enormous fully enclosed yard and open courtyard. Here, you bring the outside in. Fresh breeze, grilling and gardening, relaxing, entertaining. Why not live in a home that feels like a vacation every day. Up the straight stairs with classic turned handrail to a smartly laid out second floor. Partial city views from the back bedroom. Gorgeous. What was 3 bedrooms the current owners made into 2 - both with decadent bathroom suites. Custom features: custom skate grey tiling with architectural curve around the spa bathtub, Schoolhouse vintage bathroom vanity lights, Kohler faucets and fixtures. Finished off with a basement used as a home gym with good ceiling height. In the back yard, there are stairs to a paved alley behind the house with egress to Swain St. 2526 Brown St is located in the heart of Fairmount close to Kelly Drive, Fairmount Ave restaurants and shops, Fairmount Park, Whole Foods, The Barnes, Target and the Parkway.
