Property Description

37 W Durham Street is an incredible opportunity for those looking for a piece of history that has been lovingly tended to for over a century, nestled in the heart of beloved West Mt. Airy. This three story twin sits on a quiet, one way residential block and offers a rare double lot garden. If you appreciate random width plank floors, hand cut joists, and thick stone walls 37 W Durham Street will not disappoint. 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 hardwood floors and windows with deep window sills. This layout is perfect for someone who wants a traditional separate dining area but also allows for flexibility of furniture arrangement. The updated kitchen is filled with light from multiple windows and skylights, has plenty of counter and prep space, cabinet storage, offers gas cooking and a dishwasher for easy cleanup. 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 cast iron clawfoot tub, perfect for soaking all winter long, beautiful natural light, a closet, and plenty of space to get ready for the day. Next door to the bathroom is a full sized bedroom, currently being used as a home office and a plant room (greenhouse equipment will be moving.) The third floor of the home is an open loft style bedroom with tall ceilings and lovely natural light. Beyond being steeped in historic allure and classic architecture, this home has a long list of recent improvements to boast about, including a new roof! 37 West Durham Street is also very conveniently located, walking distance to bus and train lines, and all the bars, restaurants and community events Mt. Airy has to offer.
