Listing description

Welcome to 1522 Brown Street #1, a stunningly updated bi-level condo that perfectly blends historic Philadelphia character with sleek modern luxury. Situated at the crossroads of Fairmount and Francisville, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence offers a versatile open-concept floor plan designed for the sophisticated urban dweller. The main level greets you with soaring ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and a classic brick accent wall framed by oversized windows that flood the space with natural light. The chef’s kitchen has been thoughtfully upgraded with brand-new stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and ample cabinetry, flowing seamlessly into the dining and living areas. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat featuring dual closets and direct access to a rare urban sanctuary: a massive private patio. This expansive outdoor space is ideal for alfresco dining, gardening, or relaxing with morning coffee. Descend to the lower level to discover a true showpiece—a brand-new designer bathroom complete with a luxurious copper soaking tub and an electric fireplace for a spa-like atmosphere. This level also hosts a versatile second bedroom, a dedicated laundry area, and a large bonus space perfectly suited for a home office, media lounge, or private gym. A new furnace and AC was installed last year! Offering unmatched flexibility, this home can be delivered fully furnished for a turnkey move-in or unfurnished to suit your personal style. Exceptional value is found in the low monthly condo fee of just $194, which covers water, master insurance, pest control, and exterior building maintenance. Located within walking distance to the Art Museum, Center City, the Broad Street Line, and the vibrant cafes and shops of Fairmount Avenue, this condo offers a high-design lifestyle in the heart of it all.
