About the Listing COMPASS1 - 3121008
Step into timeless elegance with this exquisite Wissahickon stone center-hall colonial, an architectural masterpiece crafted in 1910 by the renowned Philadelphia firm of Duhring, Okie & Ziegler. Nestled on 1.2 acres of picturesque grounds, this 5,570 sq. ft. residence is a harmonious blend of historic charm and modern comfort, boasting 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and no fewer than 5 fireplaces—4 wood-burning and 1 gas-fired. The sale includes the adjoining parcel at 6523 Wissahickon Ave. tax id # 223280420. Lot dimensions, assessments and taxes are both parcels combined. As you enter through the Dutch front door, you'll see a grand central hall with gleaming refinished oak floors, intricate wainscoting, high ceilings, and a formal staircase that exudes sophistication. Fluted casings frame the entryways, inviting you into the heart of the home. To the right, the expansive living room (27' x 17') enchants with picture-frame molding, a marble-framed fireplace, and French doors that lead to an all-season sunroom. Here, you’ll find built-in cabinetry, gravel beds for greenery, and its own cozy fireplace. The sunroom extends, through sliding glass doors, to a flagstone terrace, the perfect backdrop for outdoor entertaining or serene moments overlooking the wooded lot. To the left of the hall lies a formal dining room (20' x 17') with a striking granite-framed fireplace, a brass chandelier, and a wood-carved mantel that whispers of craftsmanship from a bygone era. Adjacent is a butler’s pantry, a charming powder room with a barrel ceiling, and a thoughtfully designed eat-in kitchen (15' x 15'). The kitchen features granite countertops, a functional work island, stainless steel appliances, including a new gas range with a convection oven , and a window seat offering tranquil backyard views through a lovely triptych window. A nearby mudroom with a Palladian window and abundant storage adds practicality to the home’s graceful design. Ascend to the second floor, where French doors open to a light-filled study, or art studio (16' x 9'), with exposed beams and panoramic views of the lush rear yard. This level offers two spacious bedrooms, each with its own bath, and one with a wood-burning fireplace. The pièce de résistance is the luxurious primary suite, complete with its own library or home office (17' x 17') featuring built-in bookshelves and a gas fireplace. The suite also includes a grand bedroom (23' x 14'), a dressing room, and a spa-like tiled bathroom with a large stall shower. The third floor offers two additional bedrooms (20' x 15') and a shared hall bath, perfect for guests or family. The property’s outdoor amenities are equally impressive. Beyond the stone parking area and charming wooden gate lies a private retreat: an in-ground swimming pool and a heated pool house. Formerly a garage, the pool house features a flagstone floor, a hot tub, a cedar-lined sauna, and a full bathroom. Upstairs, a one-bedroom apartment with a living room, kitchenette, and bath provides a private haven for guests or extended family. A boardwalk meanders through the adjacent & included wooded lot, leading to a tranquil seating area ideal for birdwatching or meditation. The woods have a variety of beautiful native wild flowers. Designed by a firm celebrated for their "comfortable, homelike qualities," this historic home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural heritage while enjoying the luxuries of modern living. This is more than a house—it's a lifestyle of elegance, warmth, and timeless beauty, located in West Mt Airy, minutes to Fairmount Park, Rt 76, and Center City.
