316 WELLESLEY ROAD

PHILADELPHIA, PA 19119

Former Philadelphia resident and acclaimed author Buzz Bissinger once called the 300 block of Wellesley Road “the greatest block in the city” — and this classic 1924 Tudor twin beautifully reflects the warmth, charm, and sense of community that make this neighborhood so special. A welcoming open front porch with a ceiling fan sets the tone for relaxed summer evenings and friendly conversations with neighbors. Inside, the cozy living room features a wood-burning stove, creating the perfect gathering space on chilly nights. The living room flows seamlessly into a sun-filled dining room and an inviting kitchen that blends original character with modern convenience, including a built-in range, dishwasher, and microwave. From the kitchen is access to the powder room, the backyard, and the basement. The second floor offers three comfortable bedrooms and a hall bath with a shower-over-tub configuration. The third floor offers exceptional flexibility, with two additional bedrooms or home office spaces, plus a second full bath featuring a charming claw-foot tub. A full basement with outside access offers abundant storage and exciting potential for future finished living space or a recreation room. Outside, enjoy a thoughtfully landscaped backyard with mature plantings, plus the convenience of a detached garage and private driveway parking. Beyond the home itself, the Wellesley Road community is beloved for its welcoming atmosphere, annual block parties, and strong neighborhood connections. Ideally situated in desirable West Mt. Airy, the home is just moments from Weavers Way Co-op, neighborhood shops, and distinctive dining destinations. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate easy access to the Cresheim Trail and the scenic Wissahickon Valley Park, while commuters will love the short walk to the Chestnut Hill West Line via Allen Lane Station. More than just a home, this is an opportunity to become part of one of Philadelphia’s most cherished neighborhoods — where timeless architecture, natural beauty, and community spirit come together beautifully.
