One of the most picturesque, storybook blocks and just steps from the shops, galleries and restaurants of cobblestoned Germantown Avenue and the trails of Fairmount Park, this location is second to none. The quintessential Mt Airy charm of this home begins at the curb with a perfectly manicured lawn, a shist retaining wall and a charming stone archway. The sun-drenched sunken living room features hardwood parquet floors with walnut trim, a stone wood-burning fireplace, coffered ceilings and original molding and trim work. The dining room is spacious and perfect for hosting a large dinner party and opens to the kitchen which boasts a mix of renovated details including butcher block countertops, a Moroccan-inspired tile backsplash, white shaker cabinets, new appliances and a large island juxtaposed with an original porcelain sink, exposed brick and beams, original pantry and rustic reclaimed floating shelves. A renovated powder room with a tin ceiling rounds out the first floor. Upstairs, find three sunny bedrooms with hardwood floors, the Primary bedroom with an en-suite bathroom with stall shower, a reclaimed vanity and wainscoting. The hall bath harkens a spa in Costa Rica and boasts a rustic reclaimed wood vanity with antique brass sink and fixtures, tin ceilings, a skylight, new subway tile surrounding a deep soaking tub, and original 1920s jade green glass tile. The basement is unfinished, offers plenty of storage and leads to the oversized garage and two-car driveway. Mt. Airy is a bustling neighborhood with all of the charm of a small town. Nestled adjacent to Fairmount Park's Wissahickon Valley, it offers a vibrant residential community and an eclectic mix of restaurants, shops and cafes and is served by two train lines.
