About this home
Are you searching for a piece of Mt. Airy property untouched by the hands of modern design with original, perfectly preserved, and never been painted wood details throughout the home? Look no further than 26 E Mt Pleasant Ave, a home cherished by the same family for over 60 years. This Victorian style twin has 6 bedrooms and two a half bathrooms. Take in the newly (2024) pointed stone and brick façade creating architectural lines that draw your eye up to the details at the top of this three story beauty. The porch presents the perfect welcome space complete with a new roof and plexiglass pillar both installed in 2022, so you can relax with your morning coffee and take in the neighborhood.
As you enter into the property the character starts at the front door. The main door is original to the property, a lovely thick wood door with the beveled glass intact. The breezeway still has the penny tile from when the house was built along with the wood wainscoting. The next door is a stunning, completely refinished stained glass door and transom window above. This stunner of a door leads you right into the living room that flows in a semi open floor plan into the dining room. Immediately, you'll be taken aback by the high ceilings, original hardwood floors, bay windows, and all of the perfectly preserved wood details throughout the first floor. The fireplace mantel, the molding throughout, the stair banister, even built in corner hutch, all wood details that are rare to find so well preserved. The kitchen has the original built in oversized pantry, and back butler stairs. With a little personal touch this kitchen could be a chef's dream. Behind the kitchen is a back sunroom with an updated half bath. Out through the back door is the large fenced in backyard that backs up to Sedgwick park, which makes it feel even more expansive than it already is.
Through the kitchen downstairs you will find the completely dry locked basement (2024) with plenty of storage space or the option to finish the space. You'll also find the laundry area and more notability the steam boiler called by the technician that services it yearly, "the Mercedes of boilers".
The second and third floors both have three bedrooms and one bathroom each. There is no lack of room is this property! You can fill them with people, have office spaces, create a room for each hobby you have, or a room for each of your animals… the possibilities are endless! The wood details continue throughout, and the hardwood floors are preserved underneath the carpet. The front room on the second floor has its own fireplace and a beautiful large bay window, the middle room on the second floor has a massive closet, and the back bedroom is large and has two closets. The third floor is just above the tree line so the lighting up there is ideal throughout the day.
The home has been lovingly maintained through the 60+ years of the same owner, and recently the daughter of the owner has made some meaningful upgrades to the home so you can move in without a worry. Along with what has already been mentioned, the main roof was replaced in 2023 and a new chimney liner was installed in 2022. With a little vision and personal touch, this house could be your perfect home.
As if the property itself wasn't enough, this house is located in the hub of Mt. Airy! Within walking distance to all that Germantown Ave has to offer you'll never get bored! Walk to Mt. Airy Art Garage, Scoopful Delights, Cut and Sew, La Trattoria, The Juice Room, Quintessence Theater, Toska Restaurant and Brewery, and McMenamins to name a few! It's also within walking distance to Carpenters Woods and a short drive to the full Wissahickon Park to get into some nature while not having to leave the city. If you need to leave, there are multiple train and bus stops also within walking distance so once you park your car you really never need to move it. Come see this beauty for yourself, and schedule your showing today!
