About This Home

This is your opportunity to own one of the grand homes of West Mount Airy. This home, lovingly maintained and owned by the same family since 1979, is your chance to put down roots in a charming neighborhood a short walk from the woods of the Wissahickon Valley. Walking from the street up the stately stone staircase, you'll pass under a soft canopy and arrive at the front of a majestic home set back from and several feet above the street. Inside you'll admire the grand staircase and the hardwood floor of the foyer as it connects two great rooms, each with their own fireplace, perfect for dining and recreation. The modest kitchen abuts an original butler's pantry, perfect for additional storage, and a convenient laundry room. Continuing up the grand spiral staircase, you'll be greeted by a study with built-in shelves and a wide window that invites light in. The study, four bedrooms, and two full baths can be sectioned off as desired by three pocket doors. Further upstairs is another full bath with a clawfoot tub and several more rooms perfect for children's play, office space, art projects, meditation, or library space. Sitting on roughly three-quarters of an acre, the grounds include space for gardening, entertaining outdoors, or even a gazebo. The carraige house toward the rear of the property features parking for two cars and a small living space above it perfect for a private office or a tenant. The shared driveway terminates at the rear of the main house with room for at least two more cars making parking and unloading a breeze.
