Looking for a large home on a premier block in West Mt Airy, then check this out. Priced way below market to reflect the project this Wissahickon Schist Stone Twin will be. Located on a beautiful tree lined boulevard near Allen?s Ln Train Station, Carpenter Woods, The Weavers Way Coop, Big Blue Marble and Highpoint Caf?. This home has over 2500 SqFt of living space with high ceilings, original oak floors, original built-ins and huge closets. Across the entire front of the home is a porch which was converted into a 3 season room years ago. This opens through a pretty arched door into the huge LR with a stone, wood burning fireplace, wood banister and windows on 2 exposures. This room flows nicely to the full-size DR reflecting the lovely arched entry door in the built-in corner cabinet and deep coat closet door. The kitchen (in need of updating) is adjacent to the DR through another arched door and provides access to the basement, back steps to 2nd Fl and the fenced back yard with detached 2 car garage (newer roof). On the 2nd Fl at the top of the stairs is a center hall with a ceramic hall bath, deep linen closet and 3 large BRs. The Main BR has an on-suite bath and 2 huge closets (one is a walk-in). The 2 additional BRs on this level are also quite large and each has spacious closets. Continuing up the stairs to the 3rd Fl is another hall bath and 2 more large bedrooms each with lots of spacious under-eve storage closets. The basement was once a finished basement with a powder room (nonfunctional at this time) and outdoor access with straight stair to the back yard. This seller has not lived in this home for 30 some years, though her father did until a last year. The home will be sold as-is and delivered vacant. Neighboring homes of this kind on this block have sold for over $500K. The crystal chandelier is excluded.
