Overview

Lovingly maintained and light-filled Mt. Airy Colonial, minutes from Center City, Chestnut Hill, and The Wissahickon. Surrounded by lush gardens, a 1.5 car detached garage, and off-street parking, this 1925 colonial built of Wissahickon Schist and brick is looking for its next steward. This semi-detached home has frontage on Arbutus Street, Lincoln Drive, and Burnham Road and its presence is a testament to quality and craftsmanship of a bygone era. No expense has been spared in recent updates and maintenance and with very little left to do, you can apply your finishing touches. The kitchen features an Ilve professional- grade six burner range with double oven and built-in rotisserie, Kitchen Aid dishwasher, and stainless-steel refrigerator as well as cozy bar seating for three. Entertaining guests is only a step away to the formal dining room and living room with restored original details such as chair rail, crown moulding, a functional wood-burning fireplace, parquet floors with mahogany inlays, and a generous foyer with coat closet. On the upper level is a completely renovated primary bedroom featuring an en-suite bathroom finished in a timeless black and white color-scheme. The remainder of the 2nd floor includes three bedrooms and an original art-deco hall bath. On the lower level, you’ll find a completely renovated and immensely cozy family room with a functional wood-burning fireplace.
