This architectural gem in the heart of West Mount Airy combines modern amenities and classic design with a remarkable and unique French country flair. Approaching this home, you will immediately feel like you were transported to the French countryside. Upon entry, you will find yourself in a classic entry hall with custom woodwork that reveals a hidden bath. Enter into a very large living room with a fireplace surrounded by custom millwork, including built-in cabinetry and shelving. Exit the living room into the expansive courtyard and stone patio or continue through the home, walking down the hallway toward the kitchen and dining room. In the hallway, you will pass the charming floating spiral stairway, with hand wrought iron railings tucked into a turreted stairwell. At the end of the hall, you will enter the newly installed, Cotswold-inspired kitchen finished with premium subway tile and marble like quartz countertops. Top-of-the-line Thermador 6 burner range and dishwasher, Liebherr fridge, Devol Kitchen faucet, and specially-sourced antique wood beams make this renovation truly special.
