This is your opportunity to live on one of West Mt Airy's most sought-after streets. This charming two story stone home has been lovingly cared for by the same family since it was built in 1925. Although is needs some updating, the home has had many recent upgrades including mini-split air conditioning unit, Buderus furnace, Matus front, basement and storm doors (2015) , replacement windows (2003) , H/W heater (2015), new gutters and downspouts and a rear shed addition. The ductless mini-split unit cools the whole first floor and the system capacity allows for the addition of 4 or 5 more units. The small neighborhood of 5 streets is unique in that it has it's own walking path to the Carpenter Lane Regional Rail Station and is one of the quietest streets in the area since there is no through traffic. There is a spacious living room with fireplace with hardwood flooring, a dining room with wainscoting and two closets, kitchen with shed addition, three good sized bedrooms and a ceramic tile hall bathroom. The basement has high ceilings, a laundry area , glass block windows and access to the parking area and garage. There is a lovely private front porch with a deep stone window opening, perfect for a morning cup of coffee, afternoons with a good book or a glass of wine in the evening. Close to all forms of public transportation, Route 309 and the PA Turnpike, the hiking and biking trails of Fairmount Park as well as the shops of Mt Airy and Chestnut Hill, this lovely property will make a wonderful home for its new owners!
