Space, updates, and a view you might not expect in the city—1519 Fairview Street offers all three. This well-maintained brick home features 4 bedrooms, 1.25 baths and more than 1,600 square feet of finished living space across three levels. Inside, you'll find comfortable, well-defined living areas and a bright, updated kitchen with modern cabinetry, generous counter space and plenty of room for everyday cooking and gathering. The full bath has also been tastefully refreshed, carrying the home's clean, welcoming feel upstairs, while four bedrooms spread across the upper levels provide flexibility for sleeping space, a home office, hobbies or guests. All the flooring has been redone with mostly LVP as well as painted wood and carpet on the 3rd floor. You'll find one of this home's most memorable features is a sweeping view toward the tree-covered ridge of Mt. Penn, creating an unexpectedly peaceful backdrop for the backyard. A very cute fenced backyard to enjoy. A private upper balcony offers another spot to step outside and enjoy some fresh air. Large full basement for storage and utility space and classic brick construction. This home offers plenty of room to make your own and has been tastefully updated so there is very little for you to do. Gas line is being installed at the house so you can utilize economical gas in the future. If you've been looking for a clean, well-cared-for home with four bedrooms, generous living space and a little something extra in the view, 1519 Fairview deserves a closer look.
