Listing description

Welcome to 112 W Upsal Street, a remarkable 1916 Center Hall Victorian-inspired estate tucked into the heart of the highly sought-after West Mount Airy neighborhood. Set on a rare and private 0.6-acre lot, this extraordinary stone residence offers approximately 5,479 square feet of living space with 7 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, seamlessly blending historic character with thoughtfully integrated modern updates. From its stately exterior and wrap-around porch to its lush, fenced grounds filled with organic gardens, rain gardens, a greenhouse room, and expansive outdoor entertaining spaces, this property delivers a truly one-of-a-kind retreat within the city. Step through the grand original entry into an impressive center hall where refinished hardwood floors, slate accents, soaring ceilings, and stunning period craftsmanship immediately set the tone. A fully equipped saloon with a wine fridge, beer cooler, sink, and dishwasher creates the perfect entertaining space, while the elegant formal dining room showcases original built-ins, a fireplace, and inviting gathering areas designed for memorable occasions. At the center of the home is the beautifully updated eat-in kitchen featuring a dual-faucet farmhouse sink, tiled backsplash, stainless-steel dishwasher, gas range with double oven, oversized commercial-grade refrigerator/freezer, and built-in farm table. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the warm and inviting family room with exposed beams and a gas fireplace. Just beyond is a private in-law suite with exterior access, complete with a mini kitchen, full bath, and flexible living and sleeping quarters—ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or income potential. The upper levels continue to impress with five spacious second-floor bedrooms, including three ensuite layouts, multiple fireplaces, renovated baths, and a conveniently located laundry room. The third floor serves as a luxurious private retreat, featuring a stunning primary suite with vaulted ceilings, an expansive custom walk-in closet, a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, a wet sauna, and an oversized walk-in shower. An additional bedroom currently serves as a home office, offering flexibility for evolving needs. Modern improvements—including split-zone HVAC, PEX plumbing, updated electrical, newer wood double-pane windows and roof, and a Nuvo 5-zone audio system, waterproofed basement—provide peace of mind while preserving the home's historic integrity. An extended driveway offers generous off-street parking, with space for a future carriage house or garage. West Mount Airy stands as one of Philadelphia’s most cherished communities, offering a rare blend of urban convenience and suburban tranquility. Enjoy a strong sense of community, rich diversity, exceptional access to nature via the nearby Wissahickon Valley Park with its extensive hiking trails, convenient commuting to Center City, local co-ops like Weaver’s Way, vibrant shops and eateries, and a welcoming atmosphere that perfectly balances city energy with natural beauty. From the moment you enter, 112 W Upsal Street feels like a true sanctuary—grand yet livable, historic yet fully updated, and perfectly situated in one of Philadelphia’s most desirable neighborhoods. This is more than a home; suburban inspired living at its finest yet in the city—elegance, space, community, and endless possibilities await.
