Description
Prime development opportunity in the heart of West Mount Airy. This oversized 80’ x 117’ (±9,360 sq ft) RSA-3 zoned lot offers exceptional subdivision and new-construction potential in one of Philadelphia’s most desirable residential neighborhoods. The property currently includes an existing single-family home attached at one side — however, the true value lies in the land and its redevelopment possibilities. With generous frontage and depth, preliminary concepts show potential for multiple fee-simple single-family homes, including options such as: • Three buildable residential lots — for a single home and a twin pair, or • Two premier 40-foot-wide lots — ideal for detached or semi-detached homes (Buyers are encouraged to verify subdivision plans with the City.) Located on a beautiful tree-lined block among established homes, this site offers the rare chance to create new construction product with width, yard space, and curb appeal — features that are highly sought-after in the Mount Airy market. Just minutes to the Carpenter Lane shops, restaurants, parks, regional rail, and everything that makes Mount Airy so loved — this property is perfect for a builder, developer, or investor seeking a high-end infill opportunity in a strong neighborhood. Sold strictly as-is. Subdivision and development subject to all required city approvals. Bring your vision — and unlock the potential of this exceptional Mount Airy site. If you want, tell me: • whether you plan to list on MLS, LoopNet, etc. • your target buyer (builder vs homeowner) • and the tone (more investor-forward vs lifestyle-forward) …and I can tailor it to fit perfectly. It's going to be a dual listing, one as land and the other as residential. Perfect — for a dual listing, it works best to frame: Listing #1 = Residential Sale → Appealing to end-users & lifestyle Listing #2 = Land / Development Sale → Speaking to builders & investors Here are two polished MLS-ready versions written to complement each other without conflicting. 🡠Residential Listing Description Welcome to a rare opportunity in the heart of West Mount Airy — a charming single-family home on an oversized 80’ x 117’ lot offering exceptional space, privacy, and future upside. The existing home is attached on one side and set on a generous parcel that provides an expansive yard, mature greenery, and the kind of lot size rarely found in the city. Whether you’re seeking a home to personalize, expand, or hold for long-term appreciation, this property delivers unique flexibility in a highly desirable residential neighborhood. Enjoy walkable access to regional rail, local cafés, schools, parks, and Mount Airy’s vibrant village-style shopping districts — all while living on a quiet, leafy residential block surrounded by well-kept homes and long-term neighbors. What truly sets this property apart is the future potential of the land itself. The lot size creates optionality for repositioning or redevelopment (buyer responsibility to confirm approvals), making this a wonderful opportunity for both homeowners and forward-thinking investors alike. Sold as-is. Showings by appointment. Come see the possibilities of this one-of-a-kind Mount Airy property. 🌳 Land / Development Listing Description Exceptional development opportunity in West Mount Airy — this oversized 80’ x 117’ (±9,360 sq ft) RSA-3 zoned parcel offers outstanding subdivision potential in one of Philadelphia’s strongest residential neighborhoods.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
