What's special
Homes like this rarely come on the market! This wonderful detached West Mount Airy Center Hall Stone Colonial occupies a gorgeous tree-lined street shared by some of the neighborhood's finest historic homes. In the popular C.W. Henry public school catchment, this 5 bedroom, 3 full bath home offers 3,000+ square feet of above ground living space and a drywalled basement that could easily be fully finished by the next owner. Find a detached 2-car garage plus a driveway with an EV charging port, along with ample street parking, and front, back and side yards and gardens that get lots of light. A gracious center hall welcomes you inside, with a wide, sunny staircase to the upper floors. The spacious living room has a fireplace with wood stove and French Doors that open to the rear patio and yard. The traditional dining room and adjacent kitchen could also be opened and combined into one large space if the next owner chooses. The back staircase from the kitchen to the upper floor adds character and convenience. The second floor is home to the spacious primary suite with walk-in closet, dressing room and en-suite bathroom, and two additional bedrooms and full hallway bath. The third floor has two additional bedrooms with dormer windows (great kids’ bedrooms or cozy office space), and another full hall bathroom. The basement has high ceilings and plumbing, and has already been partially drywalled and could be fully finished with a bathroom added by the next owner. This home has great bones, wonderful layout and the charm that can only be found in an older home. Mini-splits have been added throughout the first and second floors for efficient and effective air conditioning, along with 220 amp electric service. The original hardwood floors are ready to be refinished and brought back to their full beauty and a new paint job will work wonders in giving everything a refresh. This home is perfect for the person who wants to move right into one of the few West Mount Airy singles on the market at a reasonable price, and have room to add value over time and make it their own. Conveniently located close to the Wissahickon Park, Germantown Avenue, Weavers Way Coop, and all the best that West Mount airy has to offer. Easy commute to most places via car or public transportation with the Regional Rail line into Center City just 3 blocks away. A true beauty in a lovely location!
