Description

Ah, the search for the perfect home. It's a journey, my friends, and youve been on it for what feels like an eternity. Lucky for you, the end of that journey is in sight. Within the western reaches of Mt Airy, in walking distance to cobblestoned Germantown Avenue and steps from the trailhead of Phillys spectacular hiking park, Carpenters Woods, sits that very home youve been waiting for. Tucked onto a picturesque, storybook block of 1920s-era homes, each with delicate herringbone brick, Tudor detailing and carefully manicured gardens, this home offers a balance between the vibrancy of the city and the tranquility of a private respite. The quintessential Mt Airy charm of this home begins at the curb with beautiful perennial gardens and a charming arched brick portico. Wide rooms flooded with natural light greet you as you step inside. A bright and cheerful sunroom with a wood-burning fireplace is perfect for quietly curling up on cool nights with a book, and the living room with its original parquet flooring will be the perfect spot to entertain. The dining room beams with natural light from the sliders to the deck and you imagine the room filled with the laughter of family and friends this holiday. The kitchen has been recently renovated with white cabinets, granite countertops, and a breakfast bar offering plenty of room for food preparation. You head upstairs to the primary bedroom and imagine retreating here at the end of a long day. A true sanctuary, with an ensuite marble bathroom nestled in the treetops. Rounding out the floor, find two sunny bedrooms and a lovely hall bath with incredible Art Deco green tiling and black and white vintage tile flooring. The basement is unfinished and perfect for storage and there is a garage and driveway in the back for off-street parking. You love that Mt. Airy offers a vibrant residential community and an eclectic mix of restaurants, shops, and cafes and is served by two train lines. Just around the corner from Mt Airy Village, youll love grocery shopping at Weavers Way Co-Op. Youre already picturing enjoying a morning latte and crepe from High Point Caf and Tuesday night Quizzo at Mt Airy Taproom. Youve picked your cozy seat at the bar at the legendary local favorite, McMenamins, and for date night, youre envisioning dining under the stars at Jansen. You truly didnt think a home like this existed but youre so glad it does. Your search is over. Welcome home.
