Welcome to 112 W Upsal Street, a remarkable 1916 Center Hall Victorian-inspired estate that delivers the rare gift of suburban life in the city where the proximity can only be offered from West Mount Airy —a short 15-minute commute to Center Cityor instead take a short walk to the train station, walkable to Germantown Avenue—proximity to a true nature preserve escape at Wissahickon Park and close to the region’s premier private schools, including Penn Charter, Germantown Friends School, & Springside Chestnut Hill Academy. Enjoy a lifestyle designed for gatherings and daily escape, with plenty of parking, abundant rooms for dedicated uses such as a home office, gym, or business space, plus a private owner’s retreat; outside, a gardener’s paradise unfolds with apple, pear, peach, fig, cherry, and plum trees alongside blackberry, blueberry, strawberry, and herb gardens, complemented by a solarium perfect for off-season growing and expansive outdoor entertaining spaces. Why live in the suburbs if you can have it all here? Why spend over 2-3 million in the Mainline if you can have it all at a fraction of the cost? Priced to be the best value on the market, one of the lowest-priced per square foot options available in NW Philadelphia!
