Property Description
This 1937 Georgian Colonial in West Mount Airy is a perfect blend of historic elegance and modern sophistication, offering timeless architectural details alongside contemporary updates designed for today's lifestyle. Located blocks from Carpenter's Woods and the miles of trails in the Wissahickon Valley, this five-bedroom, four full and three half-bathroom estate has been completely remodeled, preserving its original character while incorporating high-end finishes and thoughtful design. There is abundant first floor living space, beginning with a grand foyer and sweeping staircase that sets the tone for the home's elegance. The open-concept kitchen features soapstone countertops, a breakfast nook, and a spacious pantry, making it both stylish and functional. Adjacent to the kitchen, the family room provides a comfortable gathering space, while the formal dining room and living room with a fireplace create the perfect setting for entertaining. A private office with custom-built cabinetry, a sunroom filled with natural light, and a half bathroom complete the main level. On the second floor, the primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a dressing room with custom cabinetry and a spa-like ensuite bath with a clawfoot soaking tub and walk-in shower. A private guest room offers another beautifully remodeled ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, and a bonus room, currently set up as an office, provide additional flexibility. The third floor is a newly remodeled private suite, complete with a spacious bedroom, a beautifully designed bathroom with a soaking tub and walk-in shower, and a large walk-in closet with custom cabinetry. Throughout the home, ample storage space is thoughtfully integrated with custom-built cabinetry and closets, ensuring both functionality and style. Outside, the sprawling grounds are beautifully landscaped with mature plantings, enhancing the home's stately presence. A large slate patio at the rear of the home offers an ideal space for outdoor entertaining, while the long, freshly paved driveway leads to a one-car garage. Move right into this stunner featuring hardwood floors throughout, five fireplaces, custom built-ins, and central air conditioning. Every detail has been carefully considered to honor the home's history while providing the comfort and style of modern living.
