Colonial

Discover this charming and spacious porchfront twin home nestled on a quiet, tree-lined block in West Mt. Airy—just steps from the shops, cafés, and charm of historic Germantown Avenue. Enjoy lazy summer afternoons in the Adirondack chairs on the front porch, watching the friendly neighborhood go by. Step through double doors into a Majolica tile-lined vestibule, and enter a bright, open living room featuring 9-foot plus ceilings, original hardwood floors, crown molding, and an exposed brick accent wall. Original woodwork and trim throughout the home add timeless character and warmth. A square archway leads to the large dining room and open-concept kitchen—an ideal layout for both entertaining and everyday living. The dining room is highlighted by a modern ironwork chandelier that beautifully blends old and new. The kitchen boasts chestnut cabinetry, sleek black countertops, crisp white subway tile backsplash, and large-format floor tiles. A breakfast island offers the perfect spot for morning coffee, and stainless steel appliances complete the chef-friendly setup. At the rear of the home, a convenient powder room and a mudroom with vintage-style hex tile flooring transition seamlessly to the expansive backyard. The flagstone-paved outdoor space features warm cedar fencing and a handsome pergola—perfect for al fresco dining, grilling, or container gardening. Upstairs, the primary bedroom sits at the front of the house with a lovely bay window overlooking the street, hardwood floors, and two spacious closets. The main hallway bath features limestone tile, a tub/shower combo, and abundant built-in shelving for organized storage. Two additional bedrooms with fully outfitted closets complete this level. The third floor offers exceptional flexibility, with three more rooms: a large family room or den at the front, two additional bedrooms (one currently used as a home office), and a three-piece bath with a tiled floor and limestone stall shower. The full basement includes a spacious laundry area directly below the kitchen, plus ample storage space and updated mechanicals. Modern-style windows throughout the home ensure efficiency and ease of use. Located on a fantastic block in Mt. Airy, in the highly sought-after Charles W. Henry School catchment, and just minutes from neighborhood favorites like The Frosted Fox, Malelani Café, DOHO Taqueria, and Weavers Way Co-op.
