Welcome home to one of the friendliest and most beautiful tree-lined blocks in Fairmount completely lit by café string lights! This light-filled home is just bursting with positive vibes. Through the cute front vestibule you enter the cozy living room with HIGH CEILINGS, a beautiful faux fireplace with painted tile accents and mantel originally from a Hudson monastery and a stylish customizable shelving unit. The living room flows directly into the newly renovated kitchen with custom two-tone 48" high cabinetry with soft close doors/drawers, copper hardware, imported Talavera tile, and newer stainless steel appliance package including gas convection range, slim-profile microwave, ultra-quiet BOSCH dishwasher, and refrigerator (2021). An enormous box bay window provides tons of natural light to the kitchen and a great space for your favorite plants. With its flowering tree, moss lawn, wisteria vines, and native shade perennials, the outdoor space feels more like a "secret garden" than just a patio, a perfect place to escape the bustle of the day. Going upstairs, you can't help but feel like you're in a European villa with the intricately-designed tile along the stair risers and a hallway flooded with natural light from the large skylight above. Fully renovated in 2018, the hall bath offers beautifully coordinated tile, modern vanity, and a deep soaking tub with rainfall shower head and elegant glass door. The first bedroom includes large wardrobe and would serve as an excellent office or nursery. The main bedroom is very spacious and feels more like a private treetop sanctuary with its second floor window planters and view of the beautiful, arborist-reviewed Zelkova tree. Also featuring original old-growth pine flooring throughout the home, convenient first floor laundry, a full and well-lit basement, and easy access to Fairmount and Brewerytown shopping and restaurants, this home is a true gem. Get in before it's gone!
