Introducing 20 Pelham Road — a brand new, custom-built home in the historic Pelham district of West Mount Airy, offering the very best of luxury living in a premier walkable location with a full 10-year tax abatement! This is a rare chance to own over 5,100 square feet of beautifully finished living space across four full levels, including a bright and versatile lower level.

The main floor features an expansive open concept layout with high ceilings and massive windows, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

The adjacent open dining and living spaces are anchored by a gas fireplace.

Just beyond the kitchen, a powder room and a well-appointed mudroom leads outside to a bluestone patio and backyard, surrounded by mature landscaping for privacy and beauty. The second floor is home to the impressive primary suite, privately situated away from the other bedrooms at at the rear of the home. The spacious spa-inspired En-Suite primary bathroom includes walk-in shower, soaking tub, and elevated finishes.
