About this home
This is where city living gets interesting. Nearly 4,000 square feet of dramatic architectural space, 32–34 Nippon Street is anything but ordinary. Rooted in West Mount Airy’s storied architectural fabric, this one-of-a-kind residence brings together original character and bold contemporary design in expansive, light-filled spaces that feel sophisticated, unexpected and incredibly livable. Step into a masonry-crafted foyer where a graceful turned staircase leads upstairs and the home opens dramatically onto its main living level. Living, dining and entertaining flow effortlessly together beneath 10-foot ceilings, where beautiful hardwood floors, magnificent exposed stone, oversized plate-glass windows, glass block and a sculptural black steel staircase create a dramatic sense of volume with the energy of a loft, yet the warmth and character of a home At the heart of it all is an impressive kitchen designed to make a statement. Sleek white cabinetry contrasts beautifully with leathered granite and warm butcher-block countertops. A substantial center island anchors a professional-style Bosch cooktop, premium Bosch convection oven and striking stainless-steel hood. A comfortable built-in bench seat, generous walk-in pantry and dedicated wine storage make this a kitchen meant not just for cooking, but for gathering. Then take the party outside. A huge deck extends directly from the kitchen, creating an incredible setting for dining, grilling, lounging and entertaining beneath the trees. A second deck offers another private escape, while the fenced courtyard and garden below feel like a hidden urban oasis. Even four-legged family members have their own thoughtfully designed digging area. Back inside, the primary suite occupies the main living level and feels like a true retreat, with a spa-inspired bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub, oversized glass shower and vanity, plus a spacious walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms or flexible spaces on this level provide room for family, guests and working from home, along with another full bath featuring mosaic tile and a large white cast-iron sink with a cool Retro Americana vibe. The lower level embraces a stylish industrial-loft aesthetic with exposed beams, a stone accent wall, custom built-ins and new wood-look LVP flooring. There is abundant space for movie nights, entertaining and everyday living, plus a versatile bonus room ideal for a home gym or music studio. Large plate-glass windows and dual outdoor access, including wide sliders, connect this level beautifully with the grounds. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath with glass-door walk-in shower, and a comprehensive laundry and utility room complete the floor plan. And then there is something city buyers know is truly special: parking. An oversized attached one-car garage with direct interior access is complemented by a one-car carport, providing exceptional off-street parking plus valuable room for bikes, gear and hobbies. There is additional on-street parking directly in front of the home. But what makes this property especially compelling is what happens when you leave the car behind. Walk to the wooded Cresheim Creek Trail and neighborhood parks. Stroll to Allens Lane Station for the Chestnut Hill West Line, stopping at High Point Cafe for coffee and a pastry along the way. Meet friends at neighborhood favorites like dohō or La Trattoria. Explore the Wissahickon, spend the afternoon in nearby Chestnut Hill, then come home to your own private garden and settle back in. Nearly 4,300 square feet. Extraordinary architecture. Two decks. A private garden. Oversized garage plus carport. Trails, train, coffee, dining and Chestnut Hill all within easy reach. This isn’t simply more space in the city. It’s a more interesting way to live....
