Homespun charm with a hipster edge - Welcome to one of the most colorful and friendly blocks in all of West Mount Airy. If you value independent thinking, have distinct taste, and appreciate culture and creativity, this is a home where you can hang your heart. This 2 bedroom, 1 bath straight thru semi detached home, built in 1800's, starts charming you as soon as you walk up the brick steps. Next, you will be welcomed by a beautiful front door, new roof.

The dining room and retro kitchen are next, featuring views of the expansive greenery in the back of the house.

A wide staircase takes you upstairs to 2 bedrooms and a full bath, loft style home office all painted in muted earth tones. Intriguing accents abound, like built-in shelves, lo-luster pine plank floors, artist tiled basement and solid, old fashioned quality detailing. Perks of this house include newly installed natural gas hot water and house heaters, recent rubberized roofing, and perennial plants.

Believed to have been built back in 1859, this 2 bed, 1 bath home has an expanded footprint and offers nearly 1, 400 square feet of living space throughout the home. As was classic for the time, the front door is oriented to the side garden, creating a sweet energetic buffer from the street. The first floor of the home offers a traditional living room and dining room, both with original pine plank floors and windows with deep window sills. This layout is perfect for someone who wants an pen floor plan that also allows for flexibility of furniture arrangement. A door from the kitchen leads to the fully fenced in and incredible backyard, a secret garden retreat sure to delight green thumbs and those seeking a peaceful outdoor retreat. On the second floor of the home you will find a combination bathroom/dressing room with an original standard tub, perfect for soaking all winter long, beautiful natural light, a closet, and plenty of space to get ready for the day.
