Timeless Elegance in the Heart of West Mount Airy Located in the desirable West Mount Airy section of Northwest Philadelphia, this elegant five-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath Edwardian home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. Offering approximately 2,665 square feet of interior living space, the home stands gracefully on a tree-lined corner just steps from the Allen Lane train station, High Point Café, and the Cresheim Trails. Step up to a sweeping covered front porch, complete with a ceiling fan and ample room for peaceful outdoor enjoyment. Inside, the restored entry foyer sets the tone for the home’s balance of modern aesthetics and classic charm. The living room features a striking coffered ceiling, wood-burning fireplace with tile surround, and a paneled mantel that reflects the craftsmanship of the early 20th century. The refinished hardwood floors flow throughout the first and second levels, uniting the living spaces with warmth and continuity. A relocated first-floor half bath, tucked away for convenience, is accessed through the pantry. The kitchen has been reimagined to improve both flow and function, incorporating a mix of original and modern cabinetry, a center island, stainless-steel appliances, and gas cooking—all while maintaining a connection to the home’s original design. A light-filled landing leads to the second floor, where the primary bedroom offers five windows, two closets, and serene natural light. The remodeled hall bath features a spacious glass-enclosed shower with rainfall showerhead, button tile floor, and a semi-partitioned water closet for added privacy. Two additional generous bedrooms complete this level, along with direct access to the kitchen by way of the original back staircase. Upstairs, another sunlit landing framed by preserved bottle-bottom glass windows opens to two additional bedrooms and a three-piece hall bath with ceramic tile flooring, clawfoot tub, wainscoting, and an updated low-profile vanity. One of these rooms currently serves as a family room, while the other—featuring an exposed arched rafter ceiling—offers a unique “lofty” feel ideal for a gym, studio, or creative workspace. Out back, enjoy a deck off the kitchen leading to a private yard and patio, all enclosed by privacy fencing—a perfect setting for outdoor relaxation or entertaining. With its blend of historic charm, modern design, and a prime Mount Airy location, 7141 Cresheim Road offers both architectural integrity and everyday livability—just two blocks from the heart of downtown Mount Airy and steps from regional rail.
