Description

Welcome to 7141 Chew Avenue, a spacious and beautifully maintained East Mount Airy twin, built circa 1910 and filled with timeless original character. With over 2,300 square feet of living space, this five-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home blends stunning architectural details with thoughtful updates for modern living.

Step onto the inviting covered front porch and into the original entry vestibule, featuring a tiled floor, transom lights, and beautifully preserved woodwork. Inside, you’ll find high ceilings, gorgeous hardwood floors, and fantastic natural light throughout.

The living room is a cozy retreat, showcasing a decorative fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases. The dining room offers space to gather and impress, with a newly added custom corner built-in cabinet and a first-floor powder room enhanced by a custom leaded glass window for extra light. The dining area flows into the updated kitchen, featuring a quartz peninsula with bar seating, stainless steel appliances, ceramic tiled flooring, and a tiled backsplash — a stylish and functional hub for home cooking and entertaining.

Upstairs, the second floor offers a spacious parlor/media room featuring a decorative fireplace with original woodwork and custom built-in bookcases—an ideal space for relaxing, entertaining, or working from home. The renovated hall bath includes a stall shower with sliding glass doors and floor-to-ceiling subway tile. The primary bedroom sits at the rear of the floor and boasts expanded closets with oversized sliding doors and clever bookshelf storage above, while a nearby bedroom/office offers additional flexibility.

The third-floor features three more bedrooms and a charming hall bathroom with a clawfoot tub, offering plenty of space for family, guests, or creative use.

Comfort is key, with ductless mini-split air conditioning systems located on each floor to keep the home cool during the warmer months. The partially finished basement includes a laundry area, half bath, ample storage, and covered walkout access to the side yard.

Outdoor spaces include a backyard deck, a flower-filled patio, and inviting spots to enjoy the seasons and unwind.

Perfectly situated in the heart of Mount Airy, 7141 Chew is just blocks from the SEPTA Chestnut Hill East Line, the shops and restaurants of Mount Airy and Chestnut Hill, and the Cresheim Trail. With so much nearby development and energy in the neighborhood, this is a rare opportunity to own a character-filled home in one of Northwest Philadelphia’s most vibrant communities.
