A Victorian at 106 W. Upsal St. in West Mount Airy has hit the market at $1.25 million, offering five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, one half-bath, and 5,640 square feet of living space across three floors.
Built in 1889, the detached single-family home sits on a 0.38-acre lot and manages to feel both like a piece of history and a place someone actually wants to live in.

The curb appeal sets the tone immediately: double front doors open onto a wraparound porch, and the interior picks up from there with original leaded-glass windows, pocket doors, rich millwork, crown molding, hardwood floors, and a curved staircase that would make any architect jealous.
The center-hall foyer flows into a formal living room anchored by a fireplace and a dining room scaled for real entertainment.

The kitchen has been updated without losing its character, featuring stainless-steel appliances, upgraded countertops, and an oversized island. Two first-floor surprises add to the home’s personality: a sun-drenched reading nook tucked by the front windows, and a solarium complete with a working fountain — the kind of detail that stops you mid-tour.

Upstairs, the layout is just as thoughtful. Renovated ensuite bathrooms bring modern comfort to the historic bones, while a second living room on the upper floor is set up perfectly for movie nights. The primary suite includes a dressing room and walk-in closet — a rare luxury in a home this old.
Outside, the roughly 0.38-acre property includes a kitchen-side patio, a large yard with mature plum, fig, and apple trees, and a private driveway with an attached carport. Central air and abundant storage round out the practical side.
