Property Description

Welcome to 421 N 20th Street, a spacious and beautifully maintained four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath townhome offering over 2,000 square feet of updated living space in the heart of Philadelphia's vibrant Art Museum area. From the moment you step inside, the home impresses with its high ceilings, oversized windows, and warm architectural charm. The open-concept main floor is thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with defined yet connected living and dining areas anchored by custom millwork, wood burning fireplace with marble mantel, and original inlay flooring. At the rear of the home, a refreshed eat-in kitchen pairs deep navy and crisp white cabinetry with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and brass fixtures-creating a space that feels equal parts classic and current. Just beyond, you'll find a discreet powder room with radiant heated floors, a full laundry closet, and access to a serene private patio with space for al-fresco dining, entertaining, or just enjoying the outdoors. Upstairs, the second level offers a tastefully updated hall bath and three generously sized bedrooms, allowing for flexible use as guest rooms, home offices, or creative studios. The top floor is dedicated to a serene and sunlit primary suite, complete with built-in bookshelves, custom his and hers closets, a dressing area, and a spa-like en-suite bath featuring a floating double vanity, designer lighting, and a frameless glass shower with matte black fixtures. The finished lower level offers even more functional space, ideal as a playroom, media lounge, or fitness area, with plenty of additional storage space at the rear of the home. A rare bonus in this part of the city, the property also includes a covered parking space just steps away. Surrounded by neighborhood favorites like Target, Whole Foods, Starbucks, Buena Onda, Pizzeria Vetri, and more, this home offers the perfect blend of character, comfort, and convenience in one of Philadelphia's most walkable and culturally rich corridors.
