This spacious twin situated on a quiet tree lined street in West Mt Airy awaits your personal touch. A covered front porch greets you as you approach the home. Crossing the threshold, you enter a large living room with exposed beams above and a wood burning fireplace with a Wissahickon Schist facade that matches the porch columns and the property's exterior. Beyond is the dining room and adjacent kitchen that leads to an enclosed back porch that is perfect for outdoor meals or a spot for reading and relaxing. The second floor has four bedrooms and a full bath and the third level has an additional bedroom and bonus storage space. There is a full basement with a seperate laundry and utility area along with an additional bathroom. Behind the home is the largest yard on the block, as an additional parcel was added to the property. The location can't be beat. Just down the street is the High Point Cafe at the Allens Lane Train Station, where you can grab a coffee and breakfast before an easy ride to Center City or 30th Street Station. Two blocks in the other direction is Germantown Avenue with many shops and restaurants. You can also walk from the home into the Cresheim Valley of Fairmount Park and enjoy hiking paths that lead to the beautiful Wissahickon Valley. Don't miss a chance to own a home on one of the most desirable streets in West Mount Airy. Make an appointment to see it today (Bright is having a photo glitch. Click on first photo to see them all)
