Gorgeous Art Museum Townhouse with private, gated Parking! You will find the epitome of old-world Philadelphia charm and craft in this handsome Spring Garden Historic home. Mount the marble front steps from the tree-lined, lovingly maintained brick sidewalks of Mount Vernon Street into the sweet entrance vestibule. Note the classic long-leaf pine flooring you are standing on runs throughout the house. To your right is the grand salon- the sizable front living room and dining room featuring floor-length windows, 10'+ ceilings adorned with museum-quality plaster work, a marble fireplace surround, and original gilt mirror. Just beyond is the light filled hall, graced by a sweeping, gently curved staircase and draped in light from a door to the breezeway. In the large eat-in kitchen, you will find ample space to cook, dine, and entertain. Sleek stainless appliances, including a Wolf range and Fisher-Paykel fridge compliment warm cherry wood Cabinets, cool quartz counters and marble backsplash. Beyond the glass back door is your large, brick patio, with planting beds, wonderful container gardening and a mature Hemlock tree. The back gate to Clay Street allows for private, secured, parking! Overlooking the patio is your second floor living space, complete with wood burning fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and south-facing sliding glass doors leading to the second floor deck. At the other end of this level is the master bedroom suite, offering plenty of light and custom built-in floor to ceiling closets. The en-suite bathroom's soaking tub, glass walk-in shower, and chic hexagonal tile present a lovely space to relax and unwind. You'll find the second clean and stylish full bath just down the hall. On the top level, you'll discover two more cozily carpeted bedroom spaces and the third bathroom. There is historic character and attention to detail at every turn. The full basement holds the laundry station, utility sink, mechanicals and plenty of extra storage. Right at your door, you will find the beautiful Spring Garden community, and the neighboring Fairmount district, with charming local eateries such as Jack's Firehouse, Umai Umai, The Fairview, and Whole Foods and Tela's Markets. You'll be three blocks from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Barnes and Rodin Museums, the Parkway, Kelly & MLK Drives and the Gardens of the Fairmount Water Works. With easy access to I76, Penn, Drexel and 30th Street Station - this artfully built and centrally located Spring Garden home has everything you need to call it home this spring!
