Welcome to 212 W Mount Pleasant Avenue, a timeless brick twin nestled on a wide, tree-lined street in the heart of West Mount Airy. This 5-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence offers nearly 1,800 square feet of thoughtfully preserved character, enhanced by tasteful, design-forward renovations. Located just two blocks from the vibrant shops, cafes, and galleries of cobblestoned Germantown Avenue and moments from the trails of Fairmount Park, this home is perfectly positioned to enjoy all that this cherished neighborhood offers. The curb appeal is classic Mt. Airy — a wide front porch welcomes you with space to sit and enjoy the peaceful neighborhood or chat with passing neighbors. Inside, you'll be greeted by original hand-scraped hardwood floors, warm walnut-trimmed windows and baseboards, and a solid wood entry door with transom window. The living room features a striking reclaimed wood accent wall with custom built-in shelving and a rustic mantle over a decorative fireplace, setting the tone for the home’s warm and inviting interior. Beyond an original walnut pocket door is the formal dining room, flanked by bay windows and open to the beautifully renovated kitchen. Designed with both function and style in mind, the kitchen features quartz countertops, a deep farmhouse sink, a custom glass tile backsplash, and rich charcoal cabinetry. Open reclaimed wood shelving and whitewashed brick accents carry the rustic-modern theme throughout. Stainless steel appliances include a gas range, dishwasher, and built-in microwave. Just beyond the kitchen is a bright and practical mudroom with slate floors, full-size LG front-load washer and dryer, a powder room, and access to the deep, fully fenced rear yard. Garden beds, mature trees, and privacy fencing provide a rare urban oasis — ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or planting your next harvest. Upstairs, the second floor offers three sun-filled bedrooms with original wood floors, five-panel doors, and charming period trim. The full hall bath has been updated with marble flooring and window sills, beadboard wainscoting, a custom vanity, and soaking tub. On the third floor, two additional bedrooms offer generous space, reclaimed wood detail, and potential for future expansion — including possible access to a roof deck. The basement is clean and functional, with updated electrical and HVAC systems, exposed stone walls, and ample storage or workshop space. Additional highlights: Original architectural details throughout Updated kitchen and baths Private backyard with garden beds Full-size laundry/mudroom with outdoor access Convenient access to SEPTA bus routes and both Chestnut Hill East and West Regional Rail lines Mt.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
