Welcome home to this stunning stone colonial in sought after East Mount Airy! This spacious 5-bedroom, 3.5 bath home has been impeccably maintained and offers all the charm you would expect from a Wissahickon Schist, Mt. Airy classic. The love and care for this home will be evident from the start of your visit as you ascend the gorgeous flagstone steps with custom railings. Soak in the masterful architectural details and striking slate roof before making your center hall entry. To the right is a large living room with working wood burning stone fireplace and built-in bookcase. The sundrenched four-seasons room is located off the living room and offers year-round enjoyment. Cross the center hall to the generous dining room with deep sills and built-in corner china cabinet. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, tile backsplash, custom wood cabinets, Italian tile floors, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, a built-in microwave, and a sun-drenched breakfast nook with bay window. Head out back for some relaxation or entertaining on the rear patio where you can access the driveway or the side yard. The second floor features a master suite with en-suite bath and access to a covered balcony overlooking gardens and the tree-lined street below. Two additional bedrooms and full hall bath with timeless black & white tiling and fixtures round out the second floor. Two more bedrooms and a third full bath are located on the third floor, delivering that extra space you desire in a home. The semi-finished basement includes built-in cabinets, a bar sink, powder room, a large laundry room with additional storage space and access to the 2-car garage with automatic door. This beautiful corner lot features ample green space, well planned and manicured gardens, a fenced in rear patio, and an in-ground sprinkler system. There are new windows throughout most of the home as well as beautiful hardwood floors. A truly special location near the shops and restaurants of both Downtown Mt. Airy and Chestnut Hill, mere steps from the proposed Cresheim Trail expansion with planned connections to other Wissahickon trails, and very convenient access to Septa Regional Rail lines and bus routes.

Residential Single-Family Detached-3 District
The RSD, Residential Single-Family Detached districts are primarily intended to accommodate detached houses on individual lots. It is intended that RSD zoning be applied in areas where the land use pattern is characterized predominately by detached houses on individual lots or where such a land use pattern is desired in the future. The Zoning Code includes three RSD districts that are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements.
