Description
Located on a tree-lined street in West Mount Airy, 252 W. Hortter St. is a three-story twin Victorian on a desirable corner lot offering nearly 2,300 square feet of living space, rare off-street parking for at least two cars, and a private driveway located at the rear of the property, adjacent to the side yard. This home blends historic character with modern upgrades, featuring original hardwood floors throughout the first level, an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a subway tile backsplash, 42-inch cabinets, subway-style tile flooring, a central island, and ample pantry space. A rear exit from the kitchen provides direct access to the outdoor shed and driveway. The layout includes unique details such as a set of original servant steps connecting the kitchen to the upper levels. Bright and spacious, the second and third floors offer flexible living spaces, including the option to use the home as a five-bedroom property. The layout could be reconfigured to provide direct access to what could serve as a fifth bedroom without having to pass through the current primary bedroom. Large windows throughout fill the home with natural light, highlighting its high ceilings and timeless charm. Owned by the same family for nearly 50 years, this property has been lovingly maintained and is situated on a 0.13-acre lot shaded by mature trees, providing outdoor space perfect for entertaining, gardening, or relaxing. Conveniently located near shops, dining, parks, and public transportation, this home offers the perfect combination of historic appeal, modern updates, and neighborhood convenience.
