6822 Mower St

Philadelphie, PA 19119

Nestled among grand Victorians on this quiet block of Mower St, in the heart of West Mt Airy's Pelham district, sits this delightful 2-story Colonial single with all the warmth and charm of a country cottage. The pretty yellow exterior with blue shutters and trim invites one to explore the interior with its center hall flanked by the cozy living room with a graceful fireplace and mantel on one side and the more formal dining room on the other side with its large picture window overlooking lovely grounds. This room is large enough to accommodate a dining table which opens to seat 14. The living room opens to an office with built-ins and an adjoining powder room. This area, with an outside exit, could also serve as a den or family room. The kitchen was installed in 2008 after the space was taken back to the studs. New cabinets were installed, some with leaded glass fronts, granite countertops added and new stainless appliances installed. Upstairs there are four bedrooms and two full baths. The hall bathroom serves three bedrooms. The cozy fourth bedroom, reached by back stairs or by walking through another bedroom, is joined by another full bathroom. There are hardwood floors throughout. Outside the grounds are a real treat. The home sits back from the street allowing for an ample front yard. There are lovely trees, shrubs, plantings and a beautiful expansive backyard with a patio. The shingle roof was installed in 2016 and comes with a 50 year transferable warranty. The furnace was installed in 2012 and there is a new 50 gallon hot water heater. Buyers may wish to perform some additional updating and cosmetic improvements at the home but this is reflected in the price and will be well worth the investment. 6822 Mower is an easy walk to Germantown Ave with its expanding retail corridor, close to the train and only about 20 minutes from center city.
