Property Description
Welcome to this beautifully maintained three-story detached home in the heart of W Mt Airy. From the moment you step onto the screened front porch, you'll feel the warmth and charm that has been lovingly cared for over the years. The home is surrounded by landscaped side and rear yards, a large vegetable garden, firepit, and much more in the fully fenced yard, all enhanced by a private driveway with space for three cars. Inside, the inviting foyer greets you with shiny hardwood floors and is flanked by your own home office and half bath. Flow into the spacious living room and a dining room anchored by a wood-burning stove. The kitchen, renovated in 2022 with new appliances, makes cooking and gathering a delight. Upstairs on the second floor, the large primary bedroom offers a peaceful retreat, joined by two additional bedrooms and bathroom, renovated in 2021, adding contemporary style and convenience. The third floor features a versatile bonus space with a mini-split heating and cooling system installed in 2022. This bonus room is ideal for storage, a sewing or art studio, or even a guest suite with the potential to expand into a full bedroom and bath. A full unfinished basement provides abundant storage space, along with a laundry tub and washer/dryer. This home has been lovingly updated and cared for. Major exterior repairs were completed in 2012, including foundation repointing, a new roof, gutters, lined chimneys, and replacement windows. The location adds to the appeal, just two short blocks from the train station, shops, and restaurants, all within one of Mt Airy's most welcoming neighborhoods. With modern renovations, classic details, and pride of ownership evident at every turn, this home is ready to please a buyer searching for that exceptional place to live. This is an opportunity not to be missed. *****OFFER DEADLINE: Best and final offers due by Wednesday, October 1st at 6:00PM.
