This French Normandy style home is so unique yet characteristic of many of the spectacular homes in the highly desired Drexel Park neighborhood. 520 Fairfax is a gardener's delight.

With a large finished basement containing a fireplace and a half bath you will have the additional finished space that can suit the needs of today's lifestyle. Circling back to the front foyer and the spectacular split staircase, you will climb to comfort in the home. A private bedroom with a full bath is perfect as a guest suite or home office.Two additional generously sized bedrooms share a jack and jill full bath and with a primary ensuite, everyone can enjoy their own comforts. The systems of the home have been annually serviced and well maintained along with a 50 year roof installed. The two car garage offers additional storage and comfort with breezeway access. Located in Drexel Park, the optional HOA hosts year-round events and activities fostering community.
