Built in 1872, this beautifully maintained twin home sits in the desirable West Mount Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia. Enter up the stone steps and into the open-flow first floor with refinished original Douglas fir pine wood floors and built-in bench seating with storage. The main level has large windows allowing for ample natural light and elegant cafe shutters for privacy. The newly resurfaced and painted walls throughout make the first floor appear almost brand new. There is a powder room tucked away in the hallway adjacent to the kitchen and next to a convenient coat closet. The updated kitchen has beautiful slate floors and stainless steel appliances with generous cabinets and a long stretch of counter space perfect for food preparation. The kitchen window overlooks the secluded fenced-in backyard which boasts an herb garden and flagstone patio--enjoy this space for al fresco dining or a night by the fire pit. A long stretch of grass and garden beds follow, edged by a variety of mature plantings for spring and summer--perfect for entertaining or solitude. A quaint stone bench anchors the property. The backyard is also environmentally conscious with a composting station as well as a natural rain barrel. The beautifully restored staircase in the living room leads to the second floor marked with two sizeable bedrooms, one with large windows and a wall of enclosed closets. Overlooking the backyard is a remodeled second floor full bath with a slate shower and built-in shelving for storage. Continue onto the third floor where you will find two more bedrooms, one that could be used for a bedroom, office, or workout space. The fourth and largest bedroom has ample closet storage and endless opportunities. The clean basement has a brand new hot water heater, washer and dryer, and expansive space for storage in a dry environment. The radiators in each room have been freshly restored, adding to the original historic feel of the home. There have been recent updates to the roof, newly painted outdoor trim, and significant landscape upgrades. To make this property even more appealing, it sits steps away from the Wissahickon Trails, walking distance to the Septa train station, High Point Cafe, and the restaurants that line Germantown Ave.
