Property Description
Custom home in West Mt Airy seeks new owner to add their own special touches. This Victorian-era twin located in the Pelham section of West Mt Airy has been updated and customized to create a charming living space. Outside, the present owner recently repainted the whole house exterior trim and porch, restoring the original wood cornice. A custom-built shed, repaved brick walkway, and perennial landscaping are other recent updates. Inside, on the 1st floor, the pumpkin pine floors have been hand waxed. The original dining room has been converted to a comfy sitting room with a Serbian wood stove that has both a firebox and a cookstove compartment. A pass-through opens to a newer custom kitchen. The kitchen has mahogany countertops, a gas range with a hood above, custom cabinetry, open shelves, and a dishwasher. Behind the kitchen, an addition was renovated to provide a bright dining room with newer windows looking out to the rear garden. There is also a renovated powder room and a cleverly tucked-away laundry. Upstairs on the 2nd level, there is a main bedroom with a custom built-in wardrobe, a 2nd bedroom, a renovated bathroom with a 'wet-bath' shower. A 3rd bedroom has been converted to a tub room with the addition of a soaking tub. Use this as a relaxing tub space, or easily remove the tub for use as a bedroom. A spiral staircase leads to the 3rd floor which has been opened up to provide one large space for a bedroom or home office use. The present owner added a skylight and a custom handrail designed to match the original house detail. This rail has a removable section to enable moving furniture in and out. The house sits on a quiet block that is also very near to new development along Germantown Ave. including a new grocery store, shops, and restaurants. It is a short distance to Weaver's Way, the Carpenter Lane train station, the 23 bus line and the post office. This house is situated in the C. W. Henry School area. Offers will be reviewed beginning at 5:00 PM on Tuesday, March 15.
