This charming, brick Tudor style home, with its Wissahickon schist faade and arched walkway entrance is one of the finest examples of classic Mt Airy architecture. Giving you, the owner, a 100% score, for curb appeal. Upon entering the home, you will be greeted by a charming Foyer, and then a bright and dramatic, sunken Living room showcasing a classic and timeless stone fireplace. Parquet floors accented with walnut inlay, original moldings/finishes and a dramatic coffered ceiling create a sought-after classic sense of style and elegance. The Dining room is large with a chair railing and two companion closets: one large walk-in used for coats and storage and the other, a large pantry. For entertaining flexibility, glass French doors allow the Dining room to be open to the Living room, or remain separated and intimate. The Kitchen is bright, spacious and well appointed. With white appliances and a new floor. An adjacent Breakfast room, featuring original built-ins, a Breakfast bar, that boasts a live edge counter top, that gives the ability to be part of the cooking in the Kitchen, yet not on top of the Chef.

An impressive wide stairway leads upstairs to four bedrooms, including a large primary bedroom with an en suite, showcasing a three-piece showered Bathroom. Three other generous bedrooms accented with original architectural details, including arched entries, and period moldings, a hall bathroom with skylight that opens, a large cedar hall closet and an original stained glass ceiling skylight ornament complete the second floor. The basement is partially finished and perfect as a Gym, Home Office, or Family room. The basement also offers a Powder room, a large unfinished room for utilities, storage and a work area, and it offers interior access to the attached, one car, oversized garage. The yard is completely fenced, tranquil, and beautiful. The stunning Garden blooms through out the three seasons, with perennials, and native plants and has been certified as an Audubon Bird Habitat. Unusual privacy is provided by the wooded area immediately behind the property. The home has a hard wired security system with motion detectors. Gas hot water heat. Gas-fired domestic hot water heater. 200 AMP circuit breaker service.

Freshly painted, and all of the carpets have been removed, to expose the stunning hardwoods. ALSO NOTE, the 2nd Floor has the Duct work installed for CENTRAL AIR. You just need to add the mechanicals. Mt. Airy is a THRIVING neighborhood with all of the charm of a small downtown, yet so close to Center City and the MAIN LINE.
