Rarely offered in sought-after West Mount Airy, this beautiful Victorian twin exudes original charm and character while maintaining its solid structural integrity. Lovingly maintained by the same owner for over 40 years, this move-in ready home is awaiting its new owners to become part of the welcoming community. You will be immediately greeted by the front yard, long driveway, and an expansive front porch that adds to the home's classic curb appeal. Inside, the living room invites you with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, original hardwood floors throughout along with abundant natural light cascading from every direction. The formal dining room is illuminated by a gorgeous chandelier connecting to the chef's kitchen with plenty of storage including a large island. Beyond the kitchen is a laundry/mudroom and half bath leading to the enormous outdoor space offering a perfect blend of shade from mature trees while providing a canvas ready for Spring gardening and entertaining. The center of the home features a stunning staircase. The second level features three spacious bedrooms and a recently renovated bathroom with whirlpool tub. The third floor has two more large bedrooms, a second full bathroom, and a nostalgic eat-in kitchen—ideal for hosting guests. The dry, clean basement offers ample storage space and houses a tankless water heater, ensuring you’ll never run out of hot water. Consistently celebrated by Money Magazine and Philadelphia Magazine as one of the “Best Big City Neighborhoods,” Mount Airy is nestled next to Fairmount Park's Wissahickon Valley. The neighborhood is renowned for its historical charm, vibrant residential community, and mix of restaurants, shops, and cafes, all nestled along cobblestone-lined Germantown Avenue. Local favorites like McMenamin’s Tavern, High Point Café, Brewer’s Outlet, and Weaver’s Way Co-op will quickly become part of your routine. Nature enthusiasts will enjoy the nearby Fairmount Park and proximity to Kelly Drive and surrounding trails. History buffs will love the Andy Griffith Museum, Gertrude Smith House and Mayberry Antique Mall. Located just 20 minutes from CC and accessible via a 7-minute walk to Septa Carpenter Station, this home offers the ideal combination of convenient city living with suburban charm. It is also located in the highly desirable Charles W. Henry School catchment.
