Description

Welcome to a gorgeous, spacious twin on a quiet Mt. Airy street. This classic home built
in the early 1900’s boasts beautifully crafted stone masonry and a slate roof meant to
last many lifetimes. An inviting front yard and wrap-around porch lead to a gracious
foyer; a living room filled with windows and a show piece fireplace. The dining room is
large and flooded with light from the bow bay windows. The kitchen and bathrooms
have been completely remodeled, and all of the windows are custom replacements
meant to retain the old Philadelphia charm, while catering to modern living.
This home can accommodate all of your living and entertainment needs with three sun-
filled stories of gleaming wood floors and tons of storage space. The first floor has a
convenient powder room and a butler’s pantry with granite countertop and glass doors.
The spacious kitchen is a dream to cook in boasting high-end GE Café appliances,
custom floor-to-ceiling cabinets, and all the storage a gourmet could want.
Off the foyer and up the handsome staircase to the second floor are three large
bedrooms and a full bath. The primary bedroom has bow bay windows – perfect for a
window seat – and a fireplace. A second curved and windowed stairway leads to the
kitchen. Rare for vintage homes, there is an abundance of closets and storage space on
all levels of the home. The third floor has two more spacious bedrooms, a full bath, and
a windowed dressing room. The full-house basement has tall ceilings and provides the
perfect space for a home gym or workshop. The basement has a side-by-side
refrigerator/freezer, and HE front loading washer/dryer.
The best is yet to come outside! Off the kitchen is a back porch - perfect access for
letting the pooch and kids- that leads to a serene backyard. The generous yard is very
private and fully fenced – a rarity in the city. This outdoor space begs for entertaining
and a Philly BBQ. There is also a driveway that can accommodate three cars as well as
ample street parking for guests.
Lovingly cared for, maintained, and updated vintage homes like this are rarely on the
market. In an ideal location just a short walk to the Stenton SEPTA station; close to Mt.
Airy and Chestnut Hill dining and shopping; with good access to major routes and
nearby suburbs - you will want to see this home.
