Property Description
Finding a single family detached home in highly sought after West Mt. Airy is hard enough, but finding one that has maintained its original warmth and charm, is in fantastic shape, conveniently located AND reasonably priced is next to impossible. But this is your opportunity! Step into a piece of Philadelphia history at 15 West Durham Street, a meticulously maintained and updated 4 bedroom 1.5 Bath colonial built in the late 1700s, just awaiting its new owners. Set on a tree-lined street conveniently located just a block away from Germantown Ave's vibrant shops and restaurants, this turn-key residence combines historic charm with modern updates, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere. In addition to some lovely cosmetic updating, much work has been done behind the scenes including, but not limited to, replacement windows, newer kitchen roof, brand new heating system, completely updated electric and more. You will be delighted with the original details, especially the gorgeous original wide width pumpkin pine floors found throughout, as well as beautiful trim/moldings, antique light fixtures, extra deep window sills, diamond lattice windows, built ins, and more. The first floor features a quaint foyer and a sunny living room in front; beyond you will find a charming dining room w/ built ins and also the powder room; in back, one of the standout features of this home is the large family room (added around 1925) with skylight and fireplace with working wood burning stove situated right off a very nice updated kitchen complete with stainless steel appliances, painted cabinetry, a sunny breakfast counter and butcher block countertops. Exit the kitchen onto a spacious private backyard with flagstone patio. The second floor features 2 nice sized bedroom and a beautifully updated full bath with shower/tub combo. The 3rd floor houses 2 more spacious bedrooms and a brand new laundry room with utility sink and extra shelving. (A bathroom could easily be added to the 3rd floor since plumbing has recently been brought up to accommodate the new laundry and since there are washer/dryer hookups also found on the 2nd floor and the basement). A complete list of updates and features can be found at the home. 15 West Durham is so conveniently located with a 90 walk score: restaurants, shops, theater, convenient store, pubs, gyms, cafes, parks, public transportation - all literally steps away! Residents also enjoy close proximity to Chestnut Hill, Fairmount Park, and the scenic trails of Forbidden Drive, offering endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. Also a quick drive to downtown Philadelphia and all of the hospitals and universities. This home has so much to offer - make your appointment today!
