This "city mansion" has been pridefully maintained by the same owner for 45 years, offering 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a paver patio, an expansive basement, a prime Fairmount location, and elaborate woodwork throughout. The exterior features a classic red brick facade enlivened by window boxes. A vestibule welcomes you inside, where original character is on immediate display in the stained glass transom window, topping a crystal-knob secondary door. Beautifully aged hardwood floors stretch across the main entry hall, where there's a grand staircase with intricate millwork and a truly distinctive illuminated newel post. A storage closet, coat hooks, and an eye-catching archway are at the rear.

Completing this level is an updated kitchen fitted with generous custom cabinetry, granite counters, a tile backsplash, and a full suite of appliances. Out back, the paver patio provides more entertaining space, with a secure street entry, perfect for barbecues and unloading groceries.
