Sat majestically atop a hill at the corner of Fairmount's most iconic block, the Bergdoll Mansion has stood as a prominent symbol of Philadelphia's rich history for over 100 years. It was 1856 when The Kemble family commissioned famed architect James H. Windrim to design his momentous family residence in the then-popular Beaux-Arts/Italianate style. Later purchased by City Park Brewery founder Louis Bergdoll, the result was a grand, 14,000 sq ft property brimming with elaborate architectural details that showcase the craftsmanship of its time. Ever since, it has been painstakingly maintained, retaining its original character, and converted to one-of-a-kind apartments with modern conveniences. Currently, the layout features an expansive owner's suite with 2-3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 2 kitchens on the first level, an additional bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen in the finished basement, and a huge private yard. The upper levels feature one 2-bedroom unit, four 1-bedroom units, and an oversized studio in the former library, all separately metered. There's also a gated parking lot with 9 spaces. The commanding exterior facade is made of classic brownstone with a private entrance to the owner's suite separate from the apartment foyer. Stepping through the towering double doors, you're immediately transported to a bygone era when form matched function, and every small detail was a chance to highlight exacting craftsmanship. At every turn, there is ornate trim, columns and fireplaces, intricate millwork, hand-laid tile, and stained glass. Natural light pours in from double-height windows adorned with wood shutters that tuck away neatly, and even the soaring ceilings feature gilded artwork. A grand dining room, modern kitchen, multiple living rooms, and bespoke curved library add to an opulent feel that continues throughout the other units and the manicured grounds. There are also 8 separate gas meters (6 apartments, 1st floor, common areas) and 8 separate electric meters w/ 1 expansion space (6 apartments, 1st floor, common areas). In addition to everything inside, this sought-after location earns a Walk Score Of 90! Fairmount is a vibrant neighborhood overflowing with top-rated restaurants, friendly local shops, and lively entertainment. Whole Foods, Target, and Wine & Spirit are nearby, as are landmarks, including The Philadelphia Museum of Art, Kelly Drive, and Eastern State Penitentiary. There's also easy access to the Community College of Philadelphia, I-676, I-76, and public transit. Schedule your showing today!
