Description
Welcome to 2623 Folsom Street—a rare opportunity to live on one of Fairmount’s quietest and most charming blocks in a fabulous short walk to restaurants, shops, and Whole Foods! Tucked away on the corner of a small, quintessential Philadelphia street, this traditional brick home enjoys leafy tree-top views from large windows and a beautiful second-story bay. An end-unit, this brick home features 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths and offers exceptional natural light, a desirable layout, and tons of potential for a buyer with vision. With 1250 square feet of living space, bright corner exposure, and a small private backyard with street access. The first floor includes a spacious open living/dining area with ceiling fan and tall 9’ ceilings, a separate kitchen, and a convenient laundry/powder room. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms with ample outfitted closet space and a large primary bedroom with 10’ high ceilings and a ceiling fan. A center hall bedroom includes a large bay window for extended space and light. The second floor includes a full bathroom with updated blue glass tile flooring and shower/tub combo.

The entire house has been freshly painted, offering a solid foundation for a modern refresh. Radiator heat keeps the home cozy in winter, and the unfinished basement provides bonus storage or project space. Ideally located near Fairmount Park, the Museum of Art, and Boat House Row, this house is a mere two blocks from green space, and also the conveniences of Whole Foods, Trust Deli, Brown Street Coffee, Corner Stoop, Cafe Musette, the Black Taxi, and Figs Restaurant.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
