Just listed! This handsome C 1925 three-story, five-bedroom, four-bathroom stone twin on a corner lot is one block from the coveted, vibrant, and welcoming Mt Airy Village. Situated in the heart of West Mount Airy, one of Philadelphia’s highly regarded neighborhoods, you do not need a car. Coffee, milk, food, or peace of mind is a short walk away: one block to Weaver’s Way Co-op and High Point Cafe, then a few more blocks to the Wissahickon or Carpenters Woods (a fave for birders). The R8 regional Line or the 71 or 23 bus routes are within walking distance. Move- n time for the September Mt Airy Fair. Many original interior architectural details are intact: archways, a skylight, classic 12-lite French doors, built-ins, wood floors, and more, adding to the charm of the home. If you enter from the front door on McCallum Street, you are welcomed into a spacious light-filled enclosed porch with a stone fireplace. Or enter from the Carpenter Lane side walkway to another light-filled enclosed porch that serves as a mudroom/pantry/rear entrance to the kitchen. Either way, you will find yourself in a warm, light-filled first floor: a remodeled eat-in kitchen, a dining room, and a lovely living room with a fireplace. The second floor has two en-suite bedrooms: one with a dressing room and the other with a more recently remodeled full bathroom. The third floor has 3 bedrooms and a hall bath with a claw-foot tub. Ample closets throughout. Off the kitchen is the stair to the basement, which has a bathroom, laundry room, lots of closets, and a rear door to the backyard and garage. The garage is entered from a common drive in the rear, and has a transponder for remote opening. Don't miss the perennial gardens and flagstone patio in the fenced-in rear yard. The mature trees have been lovingly cared for. View this listing at: http://www.gretchenraad.com/mls=PAPH2599952
