About This Home

As of April 2020

After falling in love with the rural architecture of Normandy, George Woodward came back to the States and hired notable architects Robert McGoodwin and Edmund Gilchrist to design the first houses of his French Village along Gate Lane in West Mount Airy. Perched high above the beautiful Cresheim Valley, these homes and the ones to follow on adjacent Elbow Lane became one of the most beautiful collection of homes in an area with an abundance of notable properties. Recently nominated for the Historic District of Philadelphia's Register of Historic Places, the French Village is considered one of the hidden treasures of the city . The home offers central air, two fireplaces, hardwood floors, updated kitchen and baths, gas cooking and updated utilities including a new 200 amp electric service. The views from every room are breathtaking as nature envelops 411 Gate Lane. The property is surrounded by lovely perennials, many plantings, trees, birds and other wildlife of Fairmount Park, which starts just beyond walled garden and spacious yard. Walking trails lead down to the Cresheim Creek and on to the Wissahickon Valley. The Allens Lane Train Station is a short walk away for an easy commute to Center City and the shops and restaurants of Mt. Airy and Chestnut Hill are nearby as is the Allens Lane Art Center with community theater, tennis and basketball courts and summer day camp for the kids. Homes in the French Village are rarely offered for sale. Make an appointment to see this special property today.
