329 Pelham Road , Philadelphia, PA 19119

Property Description

Welcome to one of West Mount Airy’s most treasured homes — a rare Victorian Gothic Revival estate in the heart of the beloved Pelham Historic District. Designed in 1895 by renowned Philadelphia architects Hazlehurst and Huckel, this remarkable residence feels like something from another time, when craftsmanship mattered and homes were built to last for generations. Set on a picturesque tree-lined corner of Pelham Road, the home immediately captivates. A self-sustaining, native wildflower meadow blooms with color through spring and summer, leading to the wraparound porch where friends gather, conversations linger, and warm evenings seem to last forever. Pelham Road is known for its beauty, welcoming spirit, and deep pride of homeownership — the kind of street people dream of living on. Built of iconic Wissahickon schist, this stone home beautifully blends historic character with modern luxury. Sunlight pours through leaded glass windows, illuminating soaring ceilings, custom crown molding, and gracious entertaining spaces designed for both grand gatherings and everyday living. Lovingly restored and thoughtfully updated by its current owners, every improvement honors the home’s historic character while bringing effortless modern comfort. Major improvements include a new roof, full 3-zone HVAC replacement, updated electrical systems, three restored gas fireplaces, EV charging station, and an extraordinary four-car heated garage. At the center of the home is a stunning chef’s kitchen with an oversized island, wine bar, and direct access to the expansive deck — perfect for summer barbecues under the trees. With six bedrooms, three tastefully renovated full baths, two half baths, and a charming third-floor library and billiard room, the home offers exceptional space without ever losing its warmth. A five-minute walk to Carpenter Station on the Chestnut Hill West Line makes for easy access to all that Center City’s arts and culture has to offer. Timeless, turnkey, and deeply loved, this is more than a home — it is a legacy property waiting for its next steward.
