Description
Beautifully updated and maintained inside and out, this ultra-charming twin is on a tree-lined side street in a fantastic East Mount Airy location. Behind an established, low-maintenance native perennial pollinator garden sits this sweet porchfront with a handsome brick facade. The charming original details don't stop there; recently refinished original pine floors, detailed trim, and six-panel doors are found throughout the interior, which is bright and airy thanks to the super-high ceilings, great natural light and crisp white palette. The main floor has a nice flow thanks to an oversized archway connecting the dedicated living and dining room and every room benefitting from two exposures of light. The living room features a gorgeous leaded-glass window and a turned staircase, while the generous dining room has a sweet glass-paned door to a coat closet. The extra-large eat-in kitchen with serene blue solid-wood cabinets and a large butcher block peninsula got a stylish refresh with a neutral subway tile backsplash, white veined countertops with an oversized zero-edge sink, and stainless steel appliances including a Bosch dishwasher. Upstairs, the rear bedroom has two closets with original mirrored doors flanking a window overlooking the yard. It connects to a bedroom, making a great option for a primary with adjoining dressing room-although both middle rooms are spacious enough to serve as true bedrooms. Past a hall linen closet, the front bedroom with its lovely bay window is also spacious enough to serve as the primary. The bathroom has been respectfully restored and updated, with a stylish period-appropriate light fixture and arched mirror over a vanity that complements the original mini-hex tile floor and clawfoot tub. The rear patio with a wood privacy fence has a mature garden with native perennials, including a lenten rose, and a gate to the breezeway with a rain barrel. The basement has recessed LED lighting and runs the full length of the house, offering hobby space in addition to storage and laundry. This quiet block is tucked away but still walkable to Germantown Ave's shopping and dining and the SEPTA Sedgwick station plus convenient to Chestnut Hill, Wissahickon Valley Park and all the greenspace Northwest Philly has to offer.
