117 E MOUNT AIRY AVE Philadelphia, PA 19119

Looking for a home with an interesting documented history? Are you also hoping for modern amenities and a nice low maintenance yard? This Mount Airy twin is loaded with character, hardwood floors throughout, natural light, a ton of over-sized windows, high ceilings, and a first floor laundry room. This home was totally renovated only a few years ago. Built in the 18th century, the original structure was built by the Church of the Brethren and then sold to and used by the original Mt. Airy Presby. congregation in the late 19th century. In the 1920s the church moved around the corner to its present location and the church was subsequently converted into two twin homes, the right twin being 117. The open front porch is the perfect seating area. Enter through the Dutch front door and find a large living room with lots of room for furniture and a beautiful ornamental mantle. The dining room provides a large closet and room enough for a big table. The updated kitchen has natural granite counters, under counter lighting, and ample cabinet and counter space. Through the kitchen is the laundry room and half. The wooden fenced manicured low maintenance backyard has fresh shrubs and mulch and a sweet patio with room for a table and more furniture or a play area. The entire back and side yard is private and fenced in nicely. The large full basement provides work and storage space. You can see the original church arches in the basement! Walking upstairs to the home's second floor, there is a large hallway that is wide enough for a table and rug. The hall bath is neutral and is a great size. The back and middle bedrooms are spacious and their layouts work for many uses. The master suite has a large closet and its own large full bathroom with nice tile work. Open the vintage door and find a full unfinished walk-up attic with limitless possibilities for finishing and nice architectural elements from the church construction. This home has central air, amazing tall windows with very deep windowsills (church), a lot of closet space, modern kitchen and baths, an open floor plan, new windows throughout, and a well maintained exterior including gutter guards. Walk to countless parks, schools, restaurants, and cultural attractions from this Heavenly Haven!
