Property Description

Step back in time and step into possibility at 141 W. Upsal Street, a stately late-19th century stone twin designed in 1890 by noted architects Charles Barton Keen and Frank Mead. Located on a lush corner lot in beautiful West Mount Airy, this sun-drenched 3,780 sq ft home offers a rare opportunity to blend timeless architectural detail with thoughtful modern updates. The home's inviting wraparound porch welcomes you with views of mature landscaping and a peaceful, tree-lined street. Inside, you'll find a rich tapestry of historic craftsmanship: original millwork, high ceilings, French doors, multiple bay window alcoves, and ornate fireplace mantels that reflect the home's 19th-century roots. A graceful center hall staircase anchors the main level, while natural light floods through large windows in every room. This 6-bedroom, 3-bath residence spans three spacious floors, each filled with potential. Every bedroom is generously sized with plenty of closet space, a rarity in homes of this era. While one bath has been updated with modern finishes, the others retain their vintage charm. Newly refinished hardwood floors gleam throughout the home, preserving its warmth and elegance. Upgrades include recently updated electrical wiring, two-zone HVAC, newer roofing, gutters, gas, water, and sanitary lines, providing a strong foundation for future renovations. Out back, a private garden retreat awaits, complete with a lattice-covered trellis and patio perfect for entertaining. Steps lead down to a garage with off-street parking or storage, adding convenience to this character-filled property. Whether you're a preservation enthusiast or visionary renovator, 141 W. Upsal Street offers the chance to bring a truly special home into the next chapter. Just minutes from the shops and restaurants of Germantown Avenue, the scenic Wissahickon trails, and easy regional rail access to Center City and Manhattan, this is a home where history, character, and opportunity converge. Come write the next chapter.
