BIG CORNER PROPERTY • TWO KITCHENS • DETACHED GARAGE • UNIVERSITY-AREA OPPORTUNITY! Welcome to 3717 Fairmount Avenue, a spacious and uniquely configured corner property offering the flexibility that homeowners and investors are looking for. Conveniently located near Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania, this property presents an exciting opportunity for an owner-occupant, investor, or buyer exploring off-campus student housing potential. The home is currently arranged similar to a duplex, with approximately 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom on each of the two main living levels, along with two kitchens and a third bathroom located in the basement level. This versatile layout creates multiple possibilities: live on one level while utilizing the other for additional living space, accommodate extended family, create separate work/living areas, or explore rental-income potential subject to applicable zoning and licensing requirements. Inside, you'll find an updated contemporary look featuring gray-toned flooring, neutral paint, recessed lighting, updated kitchens, modern cabinetry, stylish tilework, and renovated bathroom finishes. One kitchen features a large center island with quartz-style countertops, providing additional prep space, storage and seating. And don't overlook a feature that's increasingly hard to find in the city—a detached garage, providing valuable off-street parking and/or additional storage. With its large corner footprint, flexible floor plan, two kitchens, multiple bedrooms, three bathrooms, garage, and proximity to major universities, 3717 Fairmount Ave is anything but your typical property. Whether you're searching for a spacious home or an investment with multiple potential uses, this one deserves a closer look. Schedule your showing and imagine the possibilities!
