About this home
Set on one of Fairmount’s most desirable residential blocks in the heart of Philadelphia’s Art Museum neighborhood, 2030 Mount Vernon is a spacious 3-bedroom + Den, 2.5-bath townhome offering generous interior proportions and exceptional outdoor space. A deep lot, attached garage, private garden patio, and expansive roof deck provide amenities that are increasingly difficult to find in the heart of the neighborhood. One of just a handful of modern homes within the Spring Garden Historic District, the residence offers a thoughtful blend of contemporary design and modern living set against a streetscape defined by handsome late-19th-century townhouses.
A short flight of steps leads to the front entrance and into a dramatic foyer with ceilings rising more than 14 feet, immediately establishing the home’s exceptional sense of volume. From the foyer, a hallway runs alongside the elevated eat-in kitchen and dining room before continuing into the living room at the rear of the house. Throughout the main level, long, uninterrupted gallery-like walls provide an exceptional backdrop for large-scale works of art. Anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, the living room is filled with natural light through large Pella sliding glass doors flanked by full-size windows. The doors open directly onto the private rear patio and garden, extending the living space outdoors.
Raised above the attached garage at the front of the home, the eat-in kitchen enjoys views over tree-lined Mount Vernon. Behind it, the formal dining room overlooks the living room below and, beyond it, the rear garden, creating a particularly appealing visual connection between the front and back of the house. The elevated kitchen and dining areas, dramatic foyer, generous wall space, and garden-facing living room give this level an engaging sense of volume, openness, and architectural character.
The second level is home to two bedrooms, including a gracious primary suite positioned at the rear of the house and overlooking the garden. Generously scaled and lined with ample closets, the primary bedroom is complemented by an ensuite bath with a double-sink granite vanity, separate stall shower, and soaking tub. A dedicated laundry room adds convenience. At the front of the house, the bright second bedroom is currently used by the owners as a study and den, offering flexibility as a bedroom, home office, or additional living space.
The upper level centers on a spacious den with a wood-burning fireplace that opens directly onto a 20' × 20' roof deck, an exceptional setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or enjoying the surrounding cityscape. The deck also offers the potential to expand the home’s interior living space by incorporating all or a portion of its substantial footprint, as other owners have done. A front room offers flexibility as a guest bedroom, home office, or sitting room, while a full bath completes the level.
The location places the best of Fairmount and the Art Museum neighborhood close at hand. The shops, cafés, and restaurants along Fairmount Avenue—including Fare, Jack’s Firehouse, Bar Hygge, and A Mano—are just moments away. Everyday conveniences are equally accessible, with Whole Foods and Target just a short distance away. The neighborhood’s extraordinary concentration of cultural institutions includes the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Barnes Foundation, Rodin Museum, and the newly opened Calder Gardens, while Eastern State Penitentiary adds another distinctive landmark nearby. Kelly Drive and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive provide easy access to the Schuylkill River, trails, parks, and the city’s extensive recreational network. With Center City readily accessible, 2030 Mount Vernon offers a distinctive combination of contemporary architecture, generous scale, privacy, garage parking, and multiple outdoor spaces within one of Philadelphia’s most vibrant and historic neighborhoods....
