Property Description
Beautifully restored and extensively upgraded 3-story Victorian duplex located on one of the most desirable and architecturally rich streets in Mount Airy. Nestled along historic East Gowen Avenue, once part of the renowned Gowen Estate, this exceptional property offers the rare opportunity to own a true piece of Philadelphia history while enjoying luxury living and outstanding income-producing potential. Perfect for an owner-occupant or investor, live in one unit while renting the other to significantly offset your monthly expenses.
From the moment you arrive, the home's timeless Victorian character, curb appeal, and historic charm immediately stand out. Inside, you'll quickly realize this is far from a typical duplex. Every detail has been thoughtfully upgraded while preserving the warmth and architectural integrity that make these homes so special.
The first-floor unit features two spacious bedrooms and a beautifully updated full bathroom with tub/shower combo. Sunlight pours through oversized windows, reflecting off gleaming Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring and highlighting the home's soaring ceilings. Exposed brick accents, recessed lighting, crown molding, and designer fixtures create a warm yet sophisticated feel throughout. The fully renovated gourmet kitchen is designed to impress with high-end marble countertops, subway tile backsplash, designer cabinetry, oversized stainless-steel sink, stainless steel double oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, gas cooktop, pendant lighting, and breakfast bar seating. A built-in beer tap adds a unique touch rarely found in residential properties.
The second-floor unit continues the same level of quality and style. Offering two sizable bedrooms with large windows and ceiling fans, the space feels bright and inviting. A full bathroom is located on the second level. The upgraded kitchen features granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, a large center island, abundant cabinetry, and plenty of room for seating and storage.
Outside, the private backyard is complemented by fencing and privacy-inspired landscaping, creating the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining.
Located in the heart of Mount Airy and just steps from Chestnut Hill, 203 E Gowen Ave offers an unmatched walkable lifestyle surrounded by parks, local shops, restaurants, and neighborhood favorites along Germantown Avenue. Enjoy close proximity to Wissahickon Valley Park, Weavers Way Co-op, and the historic Furness-designed Mt. Airy train station with quick commuter access to Center City. Known for its tree-lined streets, rich architecture, and welcoming community atmosphere, Mount Airy remains one of Philadelphia's most sought-after neighborhoods.
