Character and charm begin with the beautiful front garden and continue throughout this bright, spacious, and well-maintained twin in the heart of West Mount Airy. A hardwood entry foyer and 9-foot ceilings welcome you. To the right is a spacious living room with built-in shelving, fireplace, and large, gorgeous leaded-glass windows in pristine condition. Beyond that is a fabulous heated sun porch with tile floor and newer, nearly floor-to-ceiling windows, topped by Palladian arches, with a view out to the front garden; perfect as a greenhouse, extra sitting room, or both. To the left of entry is the dining room with a very large closet and beyond that a gorgeous, kitchen-to-die-for, with stainless 5-burner stove and new refrigerator, expansive granite counter space, custom cabinetry, and tons of light. A convenient, newer powder room with pocket door sits in the corner. The kitchen leads to a bi-level rear deck needing some repair. Upstairs are four amply-sized bedrooms, all with good closets. The front bedroom, the largest, has a wonderful walk-in closet. A hallway drenched in daylight via a skylight and a neutral bath with shower/tub combination rounds out the amenities on this floor. A full, unfinished but finishable basement houses newer, high-efficiency Maytag laundry appliances, copious storage, fantastic legit cedar closet for off-season clothing storage, another half bath, and access to the rear door, which leads to the 1-car garage (with some room for storage as well) and 1-car parking. Also, parking is plentiful on this wide, beautiful, quiet, street. Beautiful original hardwood floors with walnut inlay throughout. Vinyl replacement windows throughout (2009) bathe every room in daylight. New radiators were installed in 2020. Rooftop solar panels, wholly owned, keep electric costs at a minimum. All just minutes from the shopping and fine dining of Chestnut Hill and Mt Airy. Walking distance to 2 train stations, Mount Airy Tap Room, both High Point Cafe locations, Allen's Lane Art Center, Carpenter's Woods, Weaver's Way, the Henry Houston School, and many running, walking, and biking trails. Appliances, Rain barrel, compost bin, and large outdoor grill, all included.
