Tucked on a leafy, quiet block just steps from the Carpenter Lane train station, this beautifully maintained stone end-of-row in West Mount Airy offers the space and feel of a classic Mount Airy twin—with modern upgrades and timeless charm throughout.
A covered stone front porch sets the tone for what’s inside, leading to a distinctive 15-light glass front door with matching sidelights. Inside, natural wood floors, updated windows, deep windowsills, and rich wall tones create warmth and character in every room. The spacious living room features a cozy fireplace with a high-efficiency wood stove insert—ideal for gathering or relaxing at day’s end.
The updated kitchen blends form and function with wood cabinetry, a tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, an induction range for precision cooking, and island seating that opens into a bright and versatile dining area. A rear door leads to the composite deck, offering low-maintenance outdoor space for dining, relaxing, and container gardening—just above the driveway and garage.
Upstairs, a wide center hallway connects three cheerful and generous bedrooms, all with large cedar-lined closets and colorful character. A hall bath with classic white subway tile and hex tile flooring offers vintage appeal with modern functionality.
A full unfinished basement offers ample room for storage, laundry, and workshop space, with convenient walk-out access to the rear.
Additional upgrades include a 200-amp electrical panel, dual-function mini-splits for zoned heating and cooling on the second floor, and an additional mini-split for first-floor cooling. Owned solar panels, installed in 2023, provide energy efficiency and savings of approximately $125/month.
With convenient access to Carpenter’s Woods, Mount Airy Village, Lovett Library, the Cresheim Trail, and the shops and restaurants of Germantown Avenue, this move-in-ready home is a well-rounded gem in one of Northwest Philadelphia’s most beloved neighborhoods.
