Overview

Beautiful light-filled twin sitting on a hilltop in the beloved West Mount Airy neighborhood. The developer and realtor Glyndon Priestman of the noted Germantown real estate firm Priestman-Helmetag, first sold 17 W Mount Pleasant Ave in June of 1920 with the following listing: "Modern Bungalow with 6 rooms, bath, electric light, open fireplace and enclosed porch". Over the years this two story bungalow has been lovingly maintained and updated with central air & heating while retaining its original character. The hardwood floors were refinished in 2019 and in 2020 the electrical supply and fuse box were updated to 200 amp service and all windows replaced. The current owners appreciate the original wood detailing and light filled flowing floorplan that retains the charm of a bygone era. The sunny, window filled, eat-in kitchen is another favorite. Other unique features include the large enclosed sunroom and private backyard perfect for BBQs, with a Sioux Crape Myrtle that explodes with the most vivid pink flowers each summer. Truly a walkers paradise. This house is steps away from the restaurants and entertainment of Germantown Ave, the Allen Lane SEPTA station & High Point Cafe, Allens Lane Art Center, Mount Airy Art Garage, Acme Market, Lovitt Library, Sedgwick Theater and multiple gyms & recreation fields. Sitting between the East and West Chestnut Hill SEPTA train lines and served by multiple bus lines, transit options abound. A short 15 minute drive from 30th Street station or 5 minutes in the other direction to Chestnut Hill the location is ideal. Cresheim Valley Park, Carpenters Wood, and the Wissahickon Park with their endless hiking and biking trails are only a 10 minute walk away. Catch it while you can!
