Thoughtfully renovated by a designer for personal use, this Queen Anne residence with carriage house and incredible grounds is the quintessential Mount Airy dream home. Suited for 21st-century living while remaining in perfect harmony with its original character, the property features meticulous updates to the kitchen and bathrooms alongside new mechanicals, plus details like a combination of original oak parquet, salvaged oak laid on the diagonal, and original pine flooring; custom replacement period-appropriate Andersen windows; and woodwork restored or custom milled to match the original throughout the interior and exterior. The detached Wissahickon Schist stone garage and carriage house provides not just parking but a workshop area and a flexible second-floor space for a three-season home office, artist studio, yoga room, or other private retreat. Outdoor living is a dream, with two porches overlooking the grounds-a large front and back yard with mature landscaping, pond and waterfall. Inside the house a grand entry foyer, in line with the home's generous proportions, is at the center of the first floor; its gorgeous and slightly whimsical wallpaper sets the tone for a casually elegant sensibility throughout. Dramatic landings with original leaded glass windows separate each floor. Five bedrooms and two baths, including a serene primary suite consisting of an expansive bedroom with a dressing room ringed by a pair of closets, WC and well-appointed bath, plus a conveniently placed laundry closet and a cedar closet are spread across the two upper floors. There's architectural interest throughout, including curved plaster nooks, deep window seats with original millwork and cozy alcoves created by dormer windows. The living room with coffered ceilings and original double doors to the rear porch is anchored by the woodburning fireplace with limestone mantel. The kitchen is quietly sophisticated, with sleek and functional white Ultracraft cabinetry with Emtek ring pulls, including two floor-to-ceiling pantries flanking the fridge, white subway tile backsplash with wall-mounted gooseneck faucet, Caesarstone counters and a Bertrazonni range. Restoration work was all inclusive, from the removal and refurbishing of all interior hardware to all new roof surfaces, plumbing, wiring and dual-zoned central air alongside the existing high-efficiency radiator heat. Offering the best in West Mount Airy living, this private retreat is walkable to Weavers Way Co-op, High Point Cafe, Carpenter's Woods and the Upsal Regional Rail station.
