Located in the Pelham section of West Mt Airy where you are surrounded by architecture including Tudor, Jacobean, Flemish, Italianate, Georgian, Queen Anne, Norman, Classical and a range of hybrid styles. Young architects, who later achieved great distinction, designed these stately homes for newly wealthy Philadelphia businessmen and their families. The Pelham neighborhood survived its first century little changed in character, its mature trees and lovely gardens gracing its largely unaltered homes. Built in 1925, this home starts charming you as soon as you walk up to the front flower garden with brick patio and serene open sitting porch - all this within walking distance of the Wissahickon, two train stations, shopping and a newly renovated library. You've seen the "I like Mt Airy" front license plates with the smiley face. This home illustrates exactly why folks like living in this area so much!
