About This Home
Early 20th Century Elegance in beautiful Mount Airy home. It's a large spacious 6 BR, 21⁄2 b, Victorian architectural style twin boasting a beautiful stone front and brick sides. This jewel stands high off the street so you can sit on the expansive front porch and watch people walk by with their baby carriages or take a pet on a relief walk. The 200 block of Mt Pleasant was originally built for Philadelphia’s upper middle class, focusing on luxury, and elaborate ornamentation using varied building materials. Most of the original 1925 features are still intact (with small variations), 10 Ft ceilings, exterior and interior Roman columns, LR with a brick fireplace with ornate wood mantle (artificial), a Dining Rm with built in China cabinet, decorative wood beams, large crown and base molding, elaborate wainscoting, built in sconces, decorative vintage metal white radiator covers, original H/W floors flow throughout the house, solid wood doors with the original door handles and latches, large windows allow plenty of natural lighting, even on a dreary day. A bright cheerful eat-in kitchen beside a full laundry room and 1st fl powder room. There’s a rear staircase from the kitchen to the 2nd fl that was blocked-in but might be worth opening back up. The 2nd and 3rd floor offer 3 BRs and a a classic full bath, each with their original tiled floors. A huge 2nd fl Main BR features a large bay window overlooking the street with a romantic brick fireplace with wood trim. A large dry basement can store a lot of “stuff”. The steam boiler is less than 2 years new, and the 2nd fl flat roof was replaced in the fall of 2024. At the rear of the house, you will find an older pressure-treated deck and a large fenced-in backyard, great for children or pets to roam! The Septa bus route 23 stops on corner of Mt Pleasant Ave and Boyer and a 5 minute walk takes you to the Septa Regional train station. Just 2 blocks from “downtown” Mt Airy with cafes, shops, and restaurants. An Acme shopping store, basket ball park, Mt Airy Public Library, a PA Wine and Spirits store and a large Wawa are all walking distance. Treat yourself to elegant Mount Airy living.
