Description

Welcome to 870 n 21st street—nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined block in the heart of fairmount, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home blends modern comfort with artisan character in one of philadelphia’s most walkable and vibrant neighborhoods.

step through the convenient entry foyer, where tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, a stylish pendant light, and custom-built storage make everyday transitions seamless. the first floor impresses with its wide, open layout, hardwood floors, and recessed lighting throughout—offering versatile options for living and dining. a wood-burning fireplace not only adds warmth and ambiance, but also creates a natural sense of separation between the living room and the flexible dining area. a custom dry bar with accent lighting adds a chic, functional touch for entertaining.

the kitchen is both spacious and private, featuring crisp white shaker cabinetry, tile backsplash, farmhouse sink, black hardware and fixtures, and under-cabinet lighting—all opening directly to a private rear deck with a retractable awning, perfect for dining al fresco or morning coffee.

the powder room is a standout with its antique lited door, live-edge floating vanity, basin sink, and curated design details.

upstairs, you’ll find three generous bedrooms and a full bath. the primary suite boasts three large windows overlooking the tree-lined street and a four-door custom closet system. the second bedroom is light-filled with ample closet space, while the third bedroom is highly customized with built-ins and integrated storage—ideal as an office, guest room, or creative space. the full bathroom is bright and stylish, featuring classic white subway tile, a stunning skylight, polished nickel fixtures, and a chic wallpapered accent wall that adds a pop of personality to this serene space.

storage is a true highlight throughout this home, from custom closets to thoughtful built-ins. a dry basement provides laundry and even more room for storage or future potential. the garage is equally versatile, functioning as a workshop with built-in pegboard and workbench, while the private driveway allows for a second car.

enjoy unbeatable walkability to the philadelphia museum of art, kelly drive, fairmount avenue’s shops and restaurants, and green spaces like the francisville playground and pool—all just a ten-minute stroll away. with mature trees lining every block and a true neighborhood feel, this home offers both tranquility and proximity to center city.

central air provides year-round comfort and a newly installed roof (2024) provides peace of mind as you make this house your new home. open houses saturday from 11-1 and sunday from 1:30-3:30.
