About 4247 Locust St

Built in 1927 and shaped by nearly a century of Philadelphia living, this eighth-floor one-bedroom carries the kind of bones that newer construction simply cannot replicate — and a layout thoughtfully configured for the way people actually live today. At 680 square feet, the open floor plan makes every square foot count, drawing you from the entry through a living space that breathes and flows without feeling cramped or segmented. The kitchen sits at the heart of the apartment and earns that position. Stainless steel appliances give the space a clean, professional edge, and the full suite — refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and disposal — means the morning routine runs smoothly whether you are making a full breakfast or simply grabbing coffee before heading out. Counter space invites actual cooking rather than just reheating, and the open configuration keeps whoever is in the kitchen connected to the rest of the room rather than tucked away behind a wall. Picture a Saturday morning here: the quiet efficiency of a kitchen that has everything in its place, the light finding its way in, nothing between you and a well-made meal. The bedroom is genuinely proportioned for rest and organization alike. A walk-in closet handles what most one-bedroom closets cannot — full wardrobes, extra storage, the accumulated life of someone who actually lives here rather than just sleeps here. The entry-level bedroom placement keeps the layout logical and easy to move through, and the open plan connecting the main living spaces means the apartment never feels like a series of disconnected rooms. Fairfax Apartments offers a community built around the full spectrum of daily life. A fitness center handles the workout, a game room handles the downtime, and a meeting room provides a quiet professional option when working from home requires a change of scenery. Laundry is available in the building, an elevator serves all floors, and the property is gated, adding a layer of security to the everyday routine. Parking is available on site for residents who keep a car in the city. The dog park is a genuine amenity for pet owners — cats and dogs are both welcome here, with breed restrictions noted and a deposit required at signing. Philadelphia's Fairmount corridor surrounds the building with the layered, walkable character that makes this part of the city so livable. The architecture of the 1920s lines the nearby streets, neighborhood restaurants and coffee shops punctuate the blocks, and the city's broader transit network connects this address to Center City and beyond without requiring a car. For residents who commute, the options are real and practical. For residents who prefer to stay close to home, the neighborhood delivers on that preference just as well. Unit 811 is a specific kind of Philadelphia apartment — one with history in its walls, function in its design, and a building community that supports a full life rather than just a place to sleep. This is the kind of address that becomes a home before you have finished unpacking. Pricing and availability subject to change on a daily basis. Photos are of model units. Parking may be available subject to availability and may be an additional fee.

4247 Locust St is located in the Spruce Hill Neighborhood and 19104 Zip code of Philadelphia, PA.
