235 W Hortter St

Philadelphia, PA 19119

Cherish this rare opportunity to own a beautifully stewarded home in the highly-desired Pelham district of Mt Airy. This home will no doubt check most of your boxes: 3,600 sq ft of living area, full southern exposure, large yard with raised beds, in-law suite, and attention paid to maintenance and upgrades. Walk up from the classic tree-lined Hortter St onto your spacious porch, recently refinished using Trex, a maintenance-free wood-like material. As you walk into the home you will be struck by the generous scale, brand new hardwood floors (don't worry, they have been thoughtfully chosen to match other wood in the home), and the abundant sunlight! On the ground floor you will find a window-lined living room, featuring a wood-burning fireplace (condition unknown), which adjoins a formal dining room with space enough for your most ambitious gatherings. The layout of kitchen/dining room has been opened up, allowing a flow of air, light, and conversation. Come on into this inviting kitchen, illuminated by double wide windows that look out into the back yard. I see you kids!. Here you will find generous granite counter tops, ceiling height and glass fronted cabinets, luscious blue subway tiles, and stainless steel appliances. Beyond the kitchen is a recently renovated half bath and an enormous mud-room with an additional freezer and space for all your garden equipment, bikes, or coats and boots. And speaking of coats and boots, go ahead and tromp out to your enormous back yard with room for all your dreams of swing set, fire pit, and home gardening. The seller is leaving the shed filled with all the tools you will need to get started. You're welcome. Back inside, the second floor has three bedrooms and a full bath. Note the front bedroom on the second floor is enormous and filled with light, previously used as a painters studio. All throughout the second and third floors you will find original materials and details like the hard wood floors, original solid core doors, molding and trim, and a skylight above the stairwell. On the third floor are three additional bedrooms, a full bath with claw for tub, and a kitchen if you would like to turn top floor into an additional suite. Think in-law suite or even passive income unit. Systems throughout the house are strong, including dual zone heat and cooling. You have proximity to regional rail as well as all that Mt Airy, Germantown and Chestnut Hill have to offer.
