About the Listing 61010 - 3178492
Among West Mount Airy's most distinguished historic stone residences, this extraordinary estate has been carefully restored for modern living. Gracefully positioned on nearly half an acre in one of Philadelphia's most sought-after neighborhoods, the circa-1890 residence pairs enduring craftsmanship with sophisticated contemporary design. Set among West Mount Airy's mature tree canopy, it enjoys an extraordinary setting convenient to Center City, a connection beautifully illustrated by the dramatic skyline views captured from above. Built circa 1890 on land that was once part of the historic Upsala estate, the home has been thoughtfully updated while honoring its architectural heritage. Constructed of iconic Wissahickon schist, this stately residence is introduced by a gracious covered porch and inviting Dutch door, creating an unforgettable first impression. Inside, sun-filled interiors showcase soaring ceilings, beautifully refinished hardwood floors with walnut inlay, handcrafted millwork, fireplaces, French doors, deep window sills, and an elegant center hall staircase that showcases the craftsmanship of another era. Designed for both everyday living and memorable entertaining, the main level flows effortlessly from gracious formal rooms to a spectacular chef's kitchen featuring custom ceiling-height cabinetry, premium appliances, an oversized island with a farmhouse sink, abundant workspace, and effortless flow to the dining room, living room, and light-filled sunroom. The upper floors offer exceptional accommodations, highlighted by a luxurious primary suite featuring a spacious bedroom with a fireplace, a custom walk-through dressing room, a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, dual vanities, and a private water closet, along with an adjoining sleeping porch -an idyllic retreat for morning coffee, reading, or working from home. Four additional generously sized bedrooms, beautifully appointed baths, and a conveniently located second-floor laundry area provide flexibility for today's lifestyle. The grounds are every bit as captivating as the interior. The expansive rear lawn, an increasingly rare offering within Philadelphia, provides endless opportunities for recreation, outdoor entertaining, and gardening. A detached stone carriage house, currently configured as garage space, offers remarkable versatility for vehicle storage, a workshop, artist's studio, fitness room, or future creative use. Thoughtfully updated from top to bottom, the residence features a new roof, new HVAC, updated electrical and plumbing systems, and many new windows, allowing the next steward to enjoy the beauty of a historic home with the comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind expected today. Life here extends well beyond the front door. Known for its vibrant sense of community, tree-lined streets, distinctive architecture, and welcoming spirit, West Mount Airy remains one of Philadelphia's most beloved neighborhoods. Stroll to neighborhood favorites including Weavers Way Co-op, local coffee shops, bakeries, ice cream shops, restaurants, playgrounds, and the library. Located just moments from SEPTA Regional Rail, bus routes, and the miles of trails through Wissahickon Valley Park, this location offers the perfect balance of neighborhood charm, outdoor adventure, and convenient access to Center City. More than a home, this is a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a remarkable piece of West Mount Airy's history.
