Never miss your train! Just a few yards from the R7 Mt Airy train station, is the most lovely four bedroom home available in Northwest Philadelphia. This gem is nestled right in the historic Gowen Estate section of East Mt. Airy, and is walkable to the shops and dining of both Chestnut Hill and Mt. Airy. It's a warm and inviting home that just feels great. Beautiful original features that Mt Airy homes are known for, like random width plank floors, decorative fireplaces with ornate mantles and tile work, and lovely detailed millwork on staircase. Current owners have updated upstairs hall bath while retaining lovely original tile, opened kitchen and added bar seating, new bamboo floors, and appliances. Approximately 800 sq ft is added by the fabulous newly finished basement complete with full bath which makes a great playroom or even private guest quarters (with French drain and sump pump to keep it all dry). New heater and electric box as well. Pretty backyard with parquet patio is perfect for outdoor entertaining. Sits high on a hill, with a covered porch for enjoying sunset views and the picturesque surrounding neighborhood. Sellers are very motivated, so don't wait to make an offer on this lovely home!
