Property Description
Welcome to 2538 Brown Street—a beautifully updated brownstone in the heart of Fairmount! Just steps away from the many museums on the parkway, Kelly Drive, Fairmount Park, and lots of restaurants and shops. This home offers a blend of historic charm and modern luxury, meticulously renovated by renowned builder Kostas Macos.
Upon entering through the classic Philly-style vestibule, you’re welcomed by an abundance of natural light that fills the open-concept first floor. The living room, dining area, and kitchen flow seamlessly together, highlighted by original wide plank hardwood floors from the 1920s, 9-foot ceilings, and an expansive 18-foot width that creates a spacious, airy feel. The attention to detail is evident in features like the Spanish-inspired tile around the gas fireplace and the elegant chair rail and wainscoting throughout.
The kitchen is equipped with high-end GE appliances, granite countertops, a double sink, and a French door that opens to a private patio—perfect for entertaining or gardening.
The second floor features two generous bedrooms with ample closet space, a spacious laundry room that could easily be onverted to an office, and a fully updated bathroom with granite countertops, travertine floors, and a soaking tub. The third floor is dedicated to a luxurious master suite that spans the entire length of the house, offering private access to a rooftop deck with stunning views of Center City. The suite includes three closets with built-in systems and a spacious bathroom with double sinks, an oversized shower, and custom cabinetry.
A fully finished basement provides additional living space, perfect for a family room, fitness area, or play space, and includes extra storage and additional laundry hookups if you prefer an upstairs office. Home is in great condition and move in ready.
