Property Description

First time on the market in 41 years! This stunning and stately Wissahickon Schist stone home with off-street parking for 5 cars in the heart of West Mt. Airy has been completely renovated from top to bottom, blending historic charm with modern living. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a rare first-floor powder room, a gas fireplace and a rare first-floor laundry room, this home offers an ideal layout for today's lifestyle — with the added bonus of a finished walkout lower level equipped with its own full kitchen, full bath, laundry, and private entrance. It's the perfect space for a 5th bedroom, an in-law suite, au pair, guest apartment, home business, rental (Airbnb/Vrbo), or rec room. Inside, you'll find a bright and airy layout with restored original millwork, top-nailed oak and heart pine hardwood floors, crystal and brass doorknobs, and solid wood doors that reflect the home's rich character. The enclosed front sunroom opens into spacious living and dining areas with abundant natural light. The fully updated kitchen features white Shaker cabinetry, stone countertops, luxury vinyl plank flooring, modern white appliances, brushed brass hardware, and a garbage disposal. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining room, living room, sunroom, and powder room — perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs on the second floor, the primary suite includes a generous walk-in dressing room with custom built-in shelving and wall-to-wall closets. The updated full bath offers a walk-in rainhead shower, ceramic tile, and stylish matte black and brushed brass fixtures. A second bedroom on this level is bright and well-sized with ample closet space. The third floor features two more bedrooms and another updated full bath with a tub/shower combo, rainhead, and beautiful finishes. Linen closets are located in the hallways on both upper floors, and all bedrooms are outfitted with new brushed brass light fixtures. The finished lower level is a rare find — offering a full kitchen, full bath, laundry room, and its own exterior entrance. With LED lighting and access to both the backyard and garage, this flexible space is ideal as a guest suite, studio, fitness area, workshop, or additional living space. Outside, the home sits on a beautifully landscaped lot with a Bluestone patio, enclosed sunroom, gated and fenced backyard, and front, side, and rear yards perfect for gardening, pets, play, or hosting gatherings. A detached one-car garage and four-car driveway provide ample parking. Extensive recent updates include a new high-efficiency Crown gas boiler, Carrier + Unico high-velocity central air system, gas water heater, fully updated kitchen and bathrooms, new 200-amp electric service, roof (house and garage), all new windows and doors, just professionally painted throughout the interior and exterior, all original Top-Nail Oak & Heart Pine hardwood floors just professionally refinished, hardscaping, landscaping, driveway and new lighting fixtures throughout the home. The location is unbeatable — just six homes from the SEPTA Upsal train station, making for an easy commute to Center City. You're also just blocks from Weavers Way Co-op, High Point Café, CW Henry School, and Germantown Jewish Centre, and a short walk to the shops, cafés, and restaurants along Germantown Avenue. Nearby schools include Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, Germantown Friends, Penn Charter, Waldorf, Crefeld, and Germantown Academy. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the close proximity to Carpenter's Woods, Cresheim Trail, Fairmount Park, and the Wissahickon Valley trails. With the Philadelphia Homestead Exemption, estimated property taxes for 2025 are just $5,608. This is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready historic home on one of West Mt. Airy's most desirable blocks. All showings begin at the Grand Opening Public Open House this Saturday, September 20 from 12 noon to 2 pm EST.
