This massive 5 Bedroom / 3.5 Bathroom stone twin home with central air has recently been renovated and is in the heart of West Mount Airy! The first floor is ideal for entertaining guests with recently refinished Oak stained hardwood flooring and an open floor plan featuring a formal living room, a dining area, a laundry area, half bath, and a spectacularly renovated kitchen. The kitchen has loads of 42” white shaker-style cabinetry with crown molding, gorgeous marble countertops, stainless steel barn sink and appliances, a large island with room for three stools, a built-in oven cooktop, and chef's range hood. The kitchen is open to the dining area, which features bay windows for plenty of natural light and a six globe modern light fixture. The formal living room has exposed brick, recessed lights, double French doors that lead to the wrap-around front porch, a large original stone fireplace with a gas insert, ribbon pointing, and a mantle. There is a laundry room and a half bath in the rear as you exit to the new fully composite back deck overlooking the fenced-in backyard and detached 2-car garage with electricity. On the second floor, you'll find three large bedrooms (including the main bedroom suite) and a full hall bath. The ensuite main bedroom has plenty of closet space and a barn door that leads to the full bath with a gray vanity, large stall shower with penny and subway tile, rainfall showerhead, and glass door. The second bedroom has plenty of closet space and natural light. The third bedroom has built-in shelving bookcases, a ceiling fan, recessed lighting, and an additional sitting room overlooking the backyard - which would be an ideal home office. The updated full hall bath has a tub and subway tile surround. The third floor has beautiful pine flooring throughout, two more spacious bedrooms, and a recently updated full bathroom featuring a gray vanity, stall shower with penny and subway tile, rainfall showerhead, and glass door. Other features of this amazing home include: Crystal doorknobs, original five-panel doors and woodwork, replacement windows throughout, and newer plumbing, electric, and HVAC (two-zones). A short walk to the Upsal train station and easy access to Chestnut Hill, Center City, major highways, and the suburbs. Don’t miss your opportunity, schedule a showing today!
