About This Home

As of July 2020

Welcome home to 521 E. Murdoch Rd. in Historic E. Mt Airy! This 1925 classic beauty made of full 360 degree Wissahickon Schist Stone and impeccably maintained slate roof has many updated amenities while retaining its original charm. The first thing you'll notice is the curb appeal - freshly painted shutters and trim, fence and gorgeous landscaping that includes privacy shrubs complete with a large yard and paver patio. Enter through the center hall into the front foyer with stunning original oak floors, high ceilings and charming staircase. To your right is a formal dining room where you can access the updated eat-in kitchen with new Quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances. To your left of the center hall you will find a large, inviting living room with wood burning fireplace with a newly installed glass front safety screen. Enter through the gorgeous French doors to a bonus sunroom/office and half bath. Deep window sills and super high ceilings add to the impressiveness of this 95 year old home. The 2nd floor has a Master bedroom with en-suite bath with recently updated slate tile shower and 2 walk-in closets. 2 large bedrooms and a hall bath complete the 2nd floor. On the 3rd floor you will find 2 more bedrooms and hall bathroom. Great closet space, hardwood floors throughout, new windows and new HVAC are just a few of the amenities 521 E. Murdoch offers. The finished basement has built-in shelving, storage, another half bathroom, laundry and utilities including newly installed high velocity air conditioning. Access the 2 car garage from the basement as well. 521 E. Murdoch really does have all the comforts of home including a 2 block walk to the Wissahickon trails! Mt. Airy is convenient to restaurants, shops, public transportation, Chestnut Hill, Center City and the surrounding Suburbs.
