Upsala Mansion, a historic estate located in Philadelphia between the Germantown and West Mount Airy neighborhoods, has been listed for sale at $995,000. Originally built in 1798, the property is distinguished by a unique deed restriction that mandates the owner must permit an annual reenactment of a Revolutionary War battle on its grounds.
The estate features nine bedrooms and ten fireplaces, complemented by ample parking with 15 spots. The home was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, underscoring its historical significance. The ongoing interest in the property is high, with approximately 15 showings conducted within the initial week of its listing.
Alex Aberle, the current owner and listing agent, plans to remain in the vicinity after the sale. He noted the property's flexible floor plan and the enjoyable experience of hosting viewing parties for the historical reenactment that takes place on the front lawn, where the actual Battle of Germantown occurred in 1777.
