Property Description

A classic home nestled in leafy, historic Mount Airy, this stately stone colonial will not disappoint you! A welcoming foyer opens to a gracious living room on one side with lots of windows, hardwood floors, and a gas-powered fireplace to keep you warm and cozy on cold winter nights. On the other side of the foyer, you'll find the spacious kitchen, complete with a large work area, and a dining space large enough to host a crowd. French doors provide separation if quiet is needed. Laundry and powder rooms sit beyond the kitchen, as well as back door access to the brick patio, garden, garage, and enlarged parking area. Head upstairs to the second floor to find the primary bedroom and two additional bedrooms. Hardwood floors continue throughout the house, including all the way up to the third floor, which hosts two additional bedrooms and a bathroom complete with claw foot tub! This charming home is close to the Allens Lane Art Center,Weaver's Way Coop, Chestnut Hill and is less than a half mile to the Carpenter's Lane train station.
