This stunning light-filled duplex occupies a prime corner in the heart of Fairmount directly across the street from the wonderful Corinthian Community Gardens, a true jewel in the city filled with birds and lovely plants. This property is an incredible investment property as a whole building rental and/or a rare chance to live in a stunning 3 bedroom/2 bathroom plus den owner's unit with a roof deck and rent out the fully renovated 1 bedroom/1 bathroom apartment to offset payments or use it as an in-law/au pair/guest suite. Or both could be combined to form a truly grand home. An inviting facade welcomes you through oversized double doors into a classic tiled foyer. The entrance hallway hints at the myriad of charming details throughout the house, including soaring ceilings, intricate woodwork, mantle, moldings and banister, and stunning oak hardwood floors. The first floor front room is a wonderful flex space with oversized windows that makes a great home office and was most recently used as part of the owners' unit. Down the hallway on the first floor, a door opens into the fully renovated 1-bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment with central air and private deck. This light and air unit makes an incredible apartment or AirBnB, and can be accessed through the front door but also has another totally private separate entrance in the back. A lovely backyard just beyond the private deck could be shared or allocated to either unit. Ascend the gorgeous wooden staircase to the rest of the owners unit occupying the entire second and third floors. The spacious living space includes two wonderful rooms, either of which could be used as living or dining rooms, one with a bay window and wood stove and both with lovely fireplace mantles, and great light. These rooms are connected by a wide hall space that makes this feel much more like a home than an apartment. The eat-in kitchen has a huge bay window with sweeping views of the gardens and the city skyline. The third floor has 3 bedrooms, including the primary suite with large closets and en suite bathroom with stall shower, and an additional hallway bath with shower/tub combo. Each bedroom has built-ins and great views! A spiral staircase leads to the roof deck offering an unobstructed view of the city that can't ever change due to the historic Eastern State Penitentiary and the community gardens across the street. The basement has plenty of room for storage and laundry. This home is just steps from many popular bars, restaurants, museums, shopping, playgrounds, Whole Foods and public transportation, and is part of the Bache Martin public school catchment. The community gardens can be reserved for gatherings and a private garden plot may be obtained in exchange for volunteer hours. Don't miss this rare and special place!
