This quintessential brick row house is ideally located in the Art Museum neighborhood. Combining the grace of historic architecture with modern updates and conveniences, 1911 Mt Vernon Street offers extensive flexible living space over multiple levels. In the living room, original intricate plaster crown decoration, substantial moldings and millwork, and a soaring ceiling represent the best of the architecture of the period just before the Civil War. A custom walnut bookcase provides plenty of built-in storage, and the generous proportions of the room allow for multiple uses. The extensively renovated kitchen has maple cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and Jerusalem Stone countertops. Thoughtful features such as a floor-to-ceiling bookcase and a china cabinet facing into the dining room add to other amenities such as a built-in wall oven and warming drawer, a gas cooktop with vent hood, and ample storage to create the perfect chefs kitchen. Recessed, pendant, and under counter lighting is in place for any task. In the adjacent dining room, which can easily fit a large table, an elegant marble mantle and exposed brick walls add to the warmth and charm of the home. Glass doors lead out from the kitchen to a private patio where you can enjoy gardening and dining al fresco. This level also has a half bath conveniently located under the stairs. Upstairs, the primary bedroom, which can easily accommodate a king sized bed, is outfitted with a fireplace with a Victorian tile surround and a carved wooden mantle. A ceramic tile ensuite bathroom and laundry room complete this space. Up a half-flight, two additional bedrooms could also be used as home office, den, or playroom. One more half-flight brings you to a large open area, a second full bathroom, and an additional bedroom; the top floor is home to two more bedrooms. Throughout these upper levels, the historic hardwood floors and high ceilings lend a feeling of grandeur to the space, and the alternating living levels provide for privacy and flexibility. 1911 Mt Vernon Street is located just blocks from the shops and restaurants of Fairmount Ave, Spring Garden community plots, Roberto Clemente Park, Julia R. Masterman Secondary School (ranked #1 in PA), multiple options for public transportation, the Free Library, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Franklin Institute, Rodin Museum, and Barnes Foundation, offering a perfect balance for city living.
