Two distinct houses in one! Perfect for guests, au pair suite, in-law suite. 600-610 W Allens Lane is a magnificent example of a classic Arts and Crafts Tudor complete with many fine original features and details. Well proportioned rooms were thoughtfully planned to capture natural light and maximize the bucolic views.The owners purchased this as a 5 bedroom/ 3 bath house and added a 1200 square foot 2 bedroom/ 1 bath house connected to the main house by a common entryway. Separate entrances then take you into each house. Great care was taken to make sure the new half blends seamlessly with the old. The entryway to the main house with its white oak paneling, leaded glass, built-in seating, and decorative mercer tile transports you to a gentler time when beautiful design and function were inextricably linked.The first level of the main house consists of a newer kitchen with cherry cabinets, quartz counters, and a built in desk, a formal dining room with french doors that open to a patio for easy inside/ outside entertaining, a large living room with a fireplace, a piano room/ library with original leaded glass bookshelf doors, a powder room and a sunroom with 3 exposures. Up one flight are 3 bedrooms- one with a connected walk-in closet, 2 full baths and an original built-in linen closet. On the third level are 2 more bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and a full bath in the hall. In the secondary house built in 2002, the first level consists of a bright and airy living room, a dining area, a kitchen with maple cabinetry, and a private outdoor patio area. The second level consists of 2 large bedrooms with high vaulted ceilings and a full bath in the hall. Established trees give this property unrivaled privacy and a driveway spans the corner so you can enter and exit from McCallum or West Allens Lane. The yard is fenced in with an inviting pool and pool house for easy entertaining. Walk beyond the pool and find yourself in a hidden grassy knoll for playing or dreaming, complete with a tree swing. Separate rear patios for each house offer even more secluded outdoor spaces with wooded views. 2 car garage and a clean full height basement for all your home gym and home project needs. Additional half bath in the pool house. Central air in addition only. Main house has ductwork for central air. An incredibly unique property in the heart of Mount Airy, right across the street from Allens Lane Art Center, and walkable to Weavers Way Co-op and High Point Coffee. Steps away from the beloved Carpenters Woods and a short jaunt to the Wissahickon.
