This gorgeous 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath, single family home sits high on a corner lot on a quiet street. Enter to the first floor and you will be immediately impressed by the original hardwood floors throughout the light-filled house. The main level includes a large living room with architecturally built-in bookshelves and wood-burning stone fireplace. Through the two sets of French doors you will find a lovely sunroom with brand new carpet perfect for relaxing any time of day. The dining room is located directly off the updated kitchen which features all top-end appliances and custom French Provencal tile work by a local artist. The Bosch gas cooktop and convection oven make preparing meals a breeze that can then be enjoyed in the bay window breakfast nook or out on your flagstone patio. The second floor leads to the generously sized main suite with his and her closets, a full bath, and a covered porch overlooking the immaculately landscaped grounds and a side yard big enough to have a soccer scrimmage. The second floor also features two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The third floor boasts two large bedrooms that share a full bath with a claw foot tub. The basement level is semi-finished with carpeting, built-in cabinets and desk, a half bath, and an exit to the side yard. The additional unfinished section beyond a double set of French doors provides ample storage space and the laundry area. The new owners will enjoy the convenience of a two car garage with automatic door just off a private alley and ample street parking. Additional features include a built in swing set, wiring for an alarm and FIOS, public mail box steps away, and all the amenities Mt. Airy and Chestnut Hill have to offer. Don't miss your chance to show this move-in ready home with easy scheduling.
