•The perfect blend of historic Philadelphia character and thoroughly modern design, 2908 W Girard Street has been completely reimagined. While a select collection of original details—including the entry vestibule, turned stair railing, fireplace mantel, and ornate closet surround—were carefully preserved to give the home a sense of history and soul, everything else is brand new and of the highest quality. •The main level is bright, open, and exceptionally well designed, with wide-plank hardwood floors, exposed brick, high ceilings, and an effortless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen spaces. The centerpiece is a stunning custom kitchen with rich blue cabinetry, quartz countertops, brass hardware, stainless steel appliances, a substantial island, and beautifully detailed tile work. A convenient powder room completes the main living spaces. •The living room brings together old and new particularly well, pairing the original architectural details with a dramatic exposed-brick wall and thoughtfully selected finishes. Just beyond, the dining area opens toward the kitchen and rear of the home, creating a layout that works equally well for everyday life and entertaining. •Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths, including a beautiful primary suite with French doors opening onto a private rear deck. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. •Downstairs, an approximately 600-square-foot finished basement provides a substantial bonus level with polished finishes, recessed lighting, and an open layout that can accommodate a media room, office, playroom, or additional living space. •Out back, the home continues to delight with a private deck plus additional covered outdoor space off the kitchen, giving you multiple places to enjoy the outdoors in warmer months. •With 1,308 square feet above grade plus approximately 600 square feet of finished basement space, this is not simply a renovated rowhome—it is a thoughtfully designed home that combines the best of Philadelphia's architectural heritage with the comfort and aesthetic of a brand-new renovation.

Fairmount, located between Center City and East Falls, is a historic and residential Philadelphia neighborhood with museum-lined parkland and classic rowhouse blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Fairmount Avenue near 22nd Street, where corner cafes, BYOBs, and small galleries keep the sidewalks busy. The Philadelphia Museum of Art anchors the western edge, while Eastern State Penitentiary adds a stark, storied counterpoint nearby. Brownstone and brick facades, stoops, and pocket gardens shape a walkable streetscape. The Benjamin Franklin Parkway frames grand civic architecture, and the Schuylkill River Trail sets a steady rhythm for runs and bike commutes. Kelly Drive and the edges of Fairmount Park bring open sky and water views into daily routines.
