2531 SWAIN ST

A spectacular row home on a beautiful block in the Fairmount/Art Museum area is an absolute must-see. The rare third-floor addition sets this home apart from the rest of the 2-story row homes on this beautiful block. The interior is serene, and lovingly appointed with a classic, yet an urban style that will welcome you in, then welcome you home. You’ll find this spacious home to have a great flow and to be filled with an abundance of natural light. There are hardwood floors throughout, including the particularly lovely original restored wood floors on the 2nd level. Also note the track and recessed lighting, the ornamental cast iron fireplace, the original banister, and modern ceiling fans. From the entry, stroll through the spacious dining room and kitchen to the back of the house where the sunroom beckons, and find your retreat in the oh so pretty spacious, landscaped, hidden oasis of a backyard. The sunroom features a fresh modern style with sliding panel curtains and a modern ceiling fan. Return to the kitchen and take note of the abundant cabinetry, stainless steel appliance, black marble countertops with so much prep space, and mosaic tile backsplash. Check out the main floor half bath. It’s fabulous. The second level features the original doors and brass door hardware, 3 bedrooms - the back bedroom with a beautiful bay window - and a modern hallway full bath. The third-floor primary bedroom and ensuite are a true owner’s retreat. Check out all of the wonderful design touches, crown molding, recessed lighting, and amazing bathroom. The basement offers storage and a laundry room. This home comprises 2025 square feet and has everything one could ask for. In addition, the wide sidewalks of this quiet block of Swain Street, which was originally named Park Terrace, invite outdoor play. Come live this great city life in the midst of great restaurants, shopping, parks, schools, and all that Philly has to offer. You’re Home!
