About This Home

As of September 2020

You have arrived at 242 E Sydney Street in the heart of Mount Airy! The 200 block of E Sydney is a quiet one-way tucked back between Mount Pleasant and Boyer with easy access to Sedgwick Station and located less than three blocks from the shops and restaurants of Downtown Mount Airy. This 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath twin has tons of classic character and the timeless feel you ve been looking for in northwest Philly. Greet your neighbors from the cozy front porch before entering the spacious living room with hardwood floors, a decorative fireplace, bow front window, and gorgeous millwork. The hardwood and classic millwork continue into the dining room along with crown molding and a ceiling medallion. The updated kitchen features a KitchenAid gas stove with double oven, extra-wide sink with garbage disposal, both recessed and pendant lighting, and plenty of room if you prefer an eat-in kitchen. Just off the kitchen is a 1st floor half bath and access to the basement. The back patio is perfect for relaxing or tending to that rightsized garden. Head upstairs next for the bedrooms! The large front room features a built-in, custom, bookcase. All four bedrooms have updated laminate flooring. The two back bedrooms are interconnected with a smaller room currently configured as a walk-in closet/dressing room. The basement offers plenty of storage along with the washer and dryer.
