Property Description

Stately Corner Townhouse with Rare 2-Car Garage in Historic Spring Garden! This impressive corner townhome spans over 4,000 square feet and offers a rare 2-car GARAGE in the heart of the historic Spring Garden section of the Art Museum neighborhood. Set on a prized corner lot with north, east, and south exposures, this elegant 22-foot-wide residence masterfully combines timeless architectural details with modern luxury. Enter through a marble vestibule with original stained glass into a soaring central staircase hallway, where you'll find restored moldings, wide-plank hardwood floors, and an open layout that connects each gracious room with effortless flow. The sun-drenched living room features tall windows, a gas fireplace, and northern and eastern light throughout the day. A dramatic custom glass mezzanine on the second floor overlooks the dining room below, creating a dynamic visual connection between levels and enhancing the home's open, airy feel. The formal dining room, complete with a skylight and plantation-shuttered windows, adjoins a gourmet kitchen equipped with high-end stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a large island, and charming exposed brick in the large breakfast area. From the kitchen, step directly into the oversized 2-car garage with access to 20th Street. A stair leads to the spacious basement offering high ceilings, a washer/dryer, cedar closet, and ample space for a home gym or endless additional storage. On the second level, an open landing functions beautifully as a den, sitting room, or family room, overlooking the dining area below. Toward the rear, above the garage, a large bedroom suite with attached marble bath offers a flexible layout—ideal as a primary suite, home office, or library. Two bright front bedrooms, one facing Mt. Vernon Street and the other 20th Street, are connected by a shared bathroom. The third floor features an additional luxurious primary suite. The front bedroom includes a skylight, gas fireplace, and an elegant ensuite bath. A spacious dressing room with built-in closet organization connects to a rear office or utility space with a second laundry area. From here, step out to a spectacular two-level roof deck with sweeping skyline views—from river to river. Additional highlights include 3-zone HVAC, recessed lighting with upgraded controls, ample closet space, updated windows, and an extra third-floor laundry station. Perfectly positioned on one of the most desirable blocks in the neighborhood, this meticulously maintained home is just steps from the Art Museum, Barnes Foundation, the new Calder Museum, Kelly Drive, and the shops and restaurants of Fairmount Avenue and Spring Garden Street. With easy access to Center City, University City, and 30th Street Station, this is a rare opportunity to own a sun-filled, historically rich home offering every modern amenity—including 2-car garage parking—in one of Philadelphia’s most walkable and vibrant neighborhoods. Don’t miss the chance to make this magnificent home yours!
