SMART BUY. VALUE, SCALE, LOCATION! An exceptional and storied residence in the heart of West Mt. Airy, this grand 1925 stone Tudor-style home spans 5116 square feet and offers 7 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, blending timeless architectural character with an opportunity for thoughtful updates. Set back and gated from the street, this home offers privacy and a tranquil presence. From the moment you arrive, the home’s classic stone exterior, mature landscaping, and turn-around driveway set the tone. A stately red maple and blooming rhododendrons frame the property, while two large attached garages provide rare convenience. Inside, the home is rich with original details—arched openings, curved ceilings, hardwood floors throughout, three brick fireplaces, and beautifully crafted built-ins—hallmarks of its era and enduring quality. Enter through a side vestibule into a welcoming foyer with a central staircase. To the right, a generously scaled living room features a fireplace and bay windows flanked by built-ins, offering an ideal space for gathering. To the left, the formal dining room flows into a cedar-walled library with its own fireplace, French doors to the garden, and a tucked-away powder room. The kitchen retains its original built-in cabinetry and connects to a pantry, back staircase, and direct access to the garage and surrounding stone pathways. The expansive unfinished basement offers abundant storage and houses the laundry. Upstairs, the second level features a spacious primary suite, a front bedroom, and a hall bath, along with a sitting room that leads to a private rear wing with three additional bedrooms and two full baths. The third floor adds two more bedrooms, a full bath, and a storage room—perfect for flexible living arrangements. Lovingly owned by a prominent physician and his family for over 65 years, this home is ready for its next chapter. While it would benefit from a refresh, the scale, craftsmanship, and layout provide an extraordinary foundation to enhance and personalize. Set in one of Philadelphia’s most sought-after neighborhoods, West Mt. Airy is known for its tree-lined streets, historic homes, and strong sense of community. With easy access to Center City, Wissahickon Valley Park’s extensive trail system, and the shops and dining of Chestnut Hill, the location offers the perfect balance of nature, convenience, and charm. A rare opportunity to steward a truly special home and bring new life to a classic estate.
