Located on a picture-perfect block in East Mt. Airy, this wonderful brick Tudor style home with a Wissahickon schist faade and arched walkway entrance is off the charts with enviable curb appeal. Upon entering the home, a bright, striking sunken living room featuring a classic stone fireplace welcomes you. Parquet floors accented with walnut inlay, original moldings/finishes and a dramatic coffered ceiling create a sought-after classic sense of style and elegance.
