514 Arbutus St Philadelphia, PA 19119

This wonderful stone twin might just be the West Mount Airy opportunity that you’ve been hoping for! Welcome to 514 Arbutus Street situated on a quiet, yet convenient block with easy access to West Mount Airy favorites like the High Point Café, Weavers Way Co-op, and Carpenters Woods plus the accessibility of Septa’s regional rail, local bus routes, Lincoln Drive, and the trails of the Wissahickon. This lovely home is steeped in original character and charm from the attractive Wissahickon Schist exterior to the gorgeous hardwood floors running throughout. Enter from the open front porch into the spacious living room featuring a stone fireplace with mantle and built-in nooks for books and shoes. The first floor delivers a traditional floorplan but with a convenient circular flow providing two ways into and out of each room from the living room to the large dining room to the kitchen and back again. The updated kitchen features a lovely, tiled floor, subway-tiled backsplash, granite counters, gas cooking, and the convenience of a dishwasher, garbage disposal and built-in microwave. The kitchen also provides access to the rear yard as well as the basement. The kitchen renovation was respectful of the vintage pantry located to either side of the basement door. Head upstairs to find an expansive primary bedroom located at the front of the home, two additional bedrooms, and an updated 3-piece hall bath with jetted tub and shower. The third-floor houses two additional bedrooms, a spacious hallway, and an updated hall bath with clawfoot tub. A functional and crisp basement provides plenty of clean storage space, a separate laundry room, a half bath, and outside access to the backyard. Outside you will find perennial gardens, beautiful and well-behaved Boston-Ivy, a detached garage, and a right sized rear yard.
