About 2516 Poplar St

Standing as a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail Philadelphia's historic homes are known for, 2516 Poplar St is a 3-story corner property with abundant space, including a studio with a second full kitchen, and a flexible floorplan allowing various layouts for living, working, and hobbies. 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. Towering double doors open to a bright and airy living room anchored by a fireplace mantle and filled with natural light from huge windows. You can easily create a cozy spot to hang out and a separate sitting area. The connected formal dining room has similar features, along with a full bathroom, and is made for hosting family and friends at a big table on holidays and celebrations. 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. The home's second floor has a massive primary bedroom at the rear that could double as a bonus living room. It boasts bay windows, a fireplace mantle, and an arched door.
