2805 Poplar St

This impressive, bright, three-story residence seamlessly blends traditional Philly details with modern amenities. Walk up the marble steps and admire the classic Fairmount exterior, with solid wood double doors, an arched transom window, and a freshly painted bay and cornice. Inside, the tiled vestibule leads to a stately foyer with a sweeping curved banister and soaring ceilings. The parlor features 11' ceilings, rich crown moldings, an ornate gold leaf mirror above an original antique stone decorative fireplace, inlaid hardwood flooring, and built-in shelving. There is a first floor powder room off the hall. The dining room flows into the entirely remodeled upscale kitchen, with soapstone countertops, high-end range, and back pantry space that doubles as a breakfast nook. Enjoy your coffee in the morning looking through the double glass back doors onto the professionally landscaped backyard. The generous backyard space is perfect for hosting, with plenty of room for seating and lush greenery.
The second floor features a room that could be a bedroom or a cozy second floor living room, with an original arched doorway, stone decorative fireplace, bay window, and washer/dryer in the closet. The larger bedroom on this floor has traditional built-in closets, with access to the other bedroom on this floor which would make a great office or additional closet space. Two more spacious bedrooms with original Heart of Pine floors are located on the third floor. Additionally, if a new owner wanted to create a owners suite on the third floor by converting the smaller room to a bathroom, the chase plumbing is already installed and ready.
The home is located between two exciting and thriving neighborhoods, Fairmount and Brewerytown, near some of Philadelphia's most pleasurable amenities and outdoor spaces. Walk easily to the art museums, Kelly Drive, Fairmount Park, the Schuylkill River and center city- this location has it all. If you're ready to live close to it all, but enjoy your serenity and historical detailing, this is the one. **Thank you for your interest.
