Finding a single home in West Mt. Airy is hard enough, but finding one that is both reasonably priced and perfectly located is nearly impossible. 7205 Cresheim Road checks those boxes and more. Original details abound and will delight anyone looking for artistic and unique elements. The first floor is graced with arched ceilings, wainscoting and multiple leaded glass windows. The living room features a wood stove with a detailed stone mantle and gorgeous coffered ceilings. Enjoy intimate dinner parties in the dining room. An original butler's pantry and large built-in hutch provide plenty of storage in the kitchen, which opens to a rear patio and yard. Head upstairs past the exquisite leaded glass windows to find a spacious primary bedroom and two additional rooms, one used as an office. A large bathroom with a glass shower and heated towel rack can be accessed by both the primary bedroom and the hallway. Two hall closets provide ample storage. On the third level you will find two large, sunny bedrooms and a hall bath with a charming clawfoot tub. Hardwood floors run throughout the house, and have been re-finished on the second and third floors. The inviting covered porch is the perfect place to sit with your morning coffee while the back yard offers a wood deck and stone patio, ideal for hosting a BBQ. Spectacular location across from the popular High Point Cafe, where you will enjoy art and music at the Sunday Market, held each week June-September. Walk to Septa for a quick ride to Center City, or hop on the Cresheim trail for long walks in the Wissahickon. The home is just a mile to the bustling Germantown Avenue corridor featuring restaurants, shops, the revered Quintessence Theater, Mt. Airy playground and much more. So much work has been done behind the scenes including a new roof, new wiring, (knob and tube removed!) and added insulation, all in 2019. Don't miss your chance to make this house your home.
