5 bedroom house for rent

Overview

This quintessential brick row home, located in the desirable Art Museum neighborhood, seamlessly blends historic charm with modern updates and conveniences. Situated at 19th and Mt Vernon Street, this home offers expansive and flexible living spaces across multiple levels. The living room boasts original intricate plaster crown decorations, millwork, and a soaring ceiling, reflecting the elegance of pre-Civil War architecture. A custom walnut bookcase adds ample built-in storage, and the room's generous proportions allow for various uses. The updated kitchen features maple cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and Jerusalem Stone countertops. Thoughtful additions like a floor-to-ceiling bookcase and a china cabinet facing the dining room complement amenities such as a built-in wall oven, warming drawer, gas cooktop with vent hood, and abundant storage, making it the perfect chefs kitchen. Recessed, pendant, and under-counter lighting cater to all your culinary needs. In the adjacent dining room, which comfortably accommodates a large table, an elegant marble mantle and exposed brick walls enhance the home's warmth and charm. Glass doors lead from the kitchen to a private deck and garden space with a recently installed composite deck and raised garden beds, ideal for gardening and al fresco dining. A conveniently located half bath is situated under the stairs on this level and was recently renovated with modern tile and high-end fixtures. Upstairs, the primary suite easily fits a king-sized bed and features a fireplace with a Victorian tile surround and a carved wooden mantle; includes a brand new ensuite bathroom with double sinks and Calcutta marble countertops, heated floors, and a newly installed custom closet space. A half-flight up, you'll find another brand new full bathroom with dedicated laundry space featuring a fully tiled stand up shower + freestanding tub, the same Calcutta marble and heated flooring, along with an additional bedroom that offers versatility as a home office, den, or playroom. Another half-flight leads to a large open area, a third full bathroom, and an additional bedroom, while the top floor houses two more bedrooms. Historic hardwood floors and high ceilings throughout these upper levels add a sense of grandeur, and the alternating living levels provide privacy and flexibility. The sewer and water lines running from the home to the street are just a few years old, and all new electrical has been run for both of the newly renovated upstairs bathrooms. Ideally located just blocks from the shops and restaurants of Fairmount Avenue, Spring Garden community plots, Roberto Clemente Park, and Julia R. Masterman Secondary School (ranked #1 in PA), 1911 Mt Vernon Street also offers easy access to multiple public transportation options and is close to cultural landmarks such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Franklin Institute, Rodin Museum, and Barnes Foundation. This home perfectly balances all the best aspects of city living!
