Property Description

Enter a fairy tale setting at this beautiful West Mount Airy single-family home. A private drive leads you past the front garden, where large specimen trees offer a warm welcome. Step inside and enjoy the spacious, light-filled solarium, perfect for morning coffee or midday meditations. The expansive living room features hardwood floors, a stone fireplace and skillfully crafted built-in shelving. Adjacent, the dining room opens offers a large bay window and ample space for entertaining. The completely renovated, generous kitchen and pantry have high ceilings, abundant cabinetry, contemporary appliances, and an alcove with a washer and dryer. A powder room completes the main level. Step outside to the rear garden and be amazed. A canopy of incredible Japanese maples immediately surrounds you. Stone steps lead past a bi-level, two-car garage to a secluded "secret garden," a true refuge perfect for endless play and growth. The second level houses three well-proportioned bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The primary suite includes an en-suite bath and dressing room. Next to the hall bathroom is a smaller, brightly lit bedroom. The rear of this level opens into a former sleeping porch, now offering stunning treetop and garden views. This unique space can be used in a multitude of ways, allowing your imagination to create your ideal home. The third floor features two tidy bedrooms, a full bathroom with a tub, and ample dry storage. The semi-finished lower level, with direct exterior access to the rear of the property, is ideal for a workshop, crafting, yoga, or play. 525 Arbutus has it all. Recent renovations include updated insulation, air conditioning and heating systems, contemporary windows, new wiring, full kitchen, and primary suite. The highly sought-after West Mount Airy Village location, enveloped by the lush landscape of the Wissahickon Valley, provides easy access to the footpaths of both the Big and Little Woods. Complemented by the rare convenience of High Point Cafe, a cooperative market, and other local staples, this setting is truly unbeatable. Make 525 Arbutus your own!
