No detail was spared in the restoration of this stunning, light-filled Victorian home on one of the best and most sought-after blocks in Fairmount. This gorgeous 5 bedroom/2.5 bath property was meticulously rehabbed in 2006 by a Winterthur Museum preservation architect, and it blends old-world craftsmanship with contemporary upgrades. Upon entering the home, the front hallway opens onto a spacious sitting room with 11' ceilings, a gas fireplace, and oversized south-facing windows. Continue on to the large dining room and gourmet kitchen, which features granite counters, custom cabinetry, new stainless steel appliances, oversized subway tile backsplash and plenty of cabinet and counter space. Off the kitchen is a mud room with an updated half-bath and direct access to the lovely rear brick patio, which is spacious and fenced-in, offering a private setting for dining and entertaining. The 2nd floor is home to the master bedroom, a large 2nd bedroom that can also be used as a TV/living space, the laundry room, and a beautiful walk-out deck. The master bedroom has a spacious walk-in closet, and the master bath features dual vanities, an oversized marble walk-in shower and claw foot soaking tub. The 3rd floor boasts a large central skylight, 3 additional bedrooms, and a full bathroom with a Jacuzzi soaking tub. The full-footprint basement is unfinished and spacious, perfect for storage and with the ceiling height needed for easy conversion to an extra living space. Additional features include hardwood pine floors throughout, high ceilings, a dual-zone HVAC system, energy efficient custom Pella and Jeld-Wen windows, and a private outdoor area for garbage/recycling cans and street access. There is no shortage of authentic character in this home! Located in an unbeatable location with a WalkScore of 93 and within easy walking distance to Whole Foods, the Art Museum, all that Fairmount has to offer. Bache-Martin school catchment.
