Perched high above and over 50 feet back from West Mt Pleasant Avenue, and offering both stellar serenity and privacy, this 6-bedroom 3.5 bath home with a family room and office, perfectly blends the old and new. A fully restored 1880s Victorian detached single with high ceilings and original woodwork, that is seamlessly enhanced by a 2-story rear addition that includes the spectacular, custom, light-filled eat-in kitchen on the first floor and the stunning primary suite on the 2nd. The spaces in this home accentuate the high ceilings, moldings, hardwood floors, and brilliant woodwork of the 19th century, perfectly complemented by the large windows, cathedral ceilings, and tasteful, high-end contemporary finishes you would expect in a 2024 luxury home. Designed by the renowned C2 Architecture and developed by award-winning Bancroft Green (both local). Multiple-zone ultra-efficient HVAC and all new systems throughout. Ample outdoor space, including a walk-out deck off the open kitchen and family room for perfect indoor-outdoor extended living and divine entertaining. In addition to the deck, the outdoor spaces include a front and side porch and lovely yard. Incredible light and desirable finishes throughout. Multi-car PARKING includes an oversized garage with space for car, storage, workshop, etc. The feel, layout, light, spaces, and finishes of this home are exquisite. Perched well above the street for ultimate quiet and privacy. You will not feel like you are in the city, except for the most convenient West Mt Airy location--easily walkable to many restaurants, cafes, retail, parks, shopping, library, and more. 5-minute drive to the Wissahickon Valley and miles of wooded trails. 5-minute walk to the Allens Lane Station on the SEPTA regional rail. And, of course, a quick ride to Chestnut Hill, Center City, Manayunk, and the Main Line. Live in one of Philly's most desirable and historic neighborhoods. 10-YEAR TAX ABATEMENT. Note: Lot size is 47.5 x 148. Buyer has the option of purchasing 139 W Mt Pleasant for $350,000 to create a 1/3 acre double lot. Developer currently has approved plans to build a gorgeous architectural home on the 139 lot that will further enhance the neighborhood value.
