This spacious end of row Twin with 4 Bedrooms and 3 Full Baths is a light-filled home with lots of windows in the heart of Mount Airy, one of Philadelphia?s most classic neighborhoods. Historic craftsman features include its original wood front door and its window frames that are stained rather than painted. There are original working pocket doors between the Dining Room and Living Rooms. Except for the Kitchen and third floor bedroom, there are wood floors throughout. There are three full Baths; two on the second floor and one on the third, unusual for this sized home. The third floor has a spacious Bedroom that was an office, with an area off that room for open closet/storage space. The house has a faux slate shingled roof that was replaced 5 years ago. The basement was recently resealed with new drywall and paint. The basement has a separate Storage Room, a Laundry Room with a toilet/water closet and a large space for a home gym with a dry Sauna ready for a good sweat after your workout. One of the previous owners was Scandinavian, hence the sauna and the Gothic gargoyle guardian who protects the house watching over the side yard. There is a large front porch that serves as a meeting place in this friendly and diverse big-city neighborhood, widely recognized for its welcoming charm across the country. There is a back Deck that provides a wonderful space for grilling, dining, and hanging out. A Mudroom off the back deck provides additional Pantry space for the Kitchen and a place to unload coats and boots from the outside. The yard is completely fenced-in with two adjoining areas for your canine family to romp. The yard is full of rose bushes, has a hedge that defines the yard and gives some privacy around the perimeter. In the spring the trees around the house burst with pink blossoms.The location is ideal, just one block away from the Allens Lane SEPTA train station with the wonderful High Point Caf? for a great cup of coffee as you head off on the train. Heading one block in the other direction are the main downtown Mount Airy shops and restaurants along Germantown Avenue, including a Zip Car depot. It?s a short walk to the trailheads of Fairmount Park and you are close to Weavers Way Co-op, Chestnut Hill, the Morris Arboretum, Woodmere Art Museum, and many other great points of interest. Come live in the heart of the one of the best places to live in the city. To get an idea of the nature of the community we encourage you to visit this local group that is 33 years old, Cresheim Village Neighbors.
