This magnificent Gowen Estate home was built in 1887 for Bunford and Ella Samuel. In 1910 a unique three story addition of a round, castle shaped tower with crenellated parapet and curved glass windows was added, making this home unlike any other in the area. There is a spacious enclosed front porch that welcomes you before you enter the first floor which offers two large living/family rooms, a dining room leading to a butler's pantry and breakfast room and kitchen. Just beyond is the first floor laundry and mud room with a toilet. The second floor offers four bedrooms, one of which is currently being used as an office and two full baths. The third floor has two bedrooms, another full bath and a large storage area. The home has many unusual and beautiful light fixtures, stained glass, and other wonderful architectural details. There is high velocity central air, a newer boiler, a huge yard, and plenty of parking with a long driveway leading to a two car garage. There is an apartment above the garage that is tenant occupied. The Mt Airy train station is a few blocks away for an easy ride downtown, Germantown Avenue with its many great shops and restaurants in both Mt Airy and Chestnut Hill are minutes away, as are the scenic Cresheim and Wissahickon Valleys of Fairmount Park with their many trails for hiking, walking and riding.
