Description

Welcome to one of mount airy's most enchanting and unique homes—one of only two mirrored gate houses in the iconic french village historic district. tucked into a beautifully wooded neighborhood filled with french norman revival architecture, this three-story home is brimming with old-world charm, dramatic features, and elegant natural light.
as you step inside, you're immediately drawn into a spacious, sun-filled kitchen featuring fresh appliances and a large center island. off the kitchen, a cozy study with its own fireplace offers a peaceful retreat, leading to a long hallway lined with a wall of french doors that overlook the lush gardens. at the heart of the home, the dining room—with its own terrace access—anchors the space, perfect for intimate dinners or summer gatherings. the living room is equally radiant, bathed in natural light and also opening to the terrace through graceful french doors.
one of the standout architectural elements is the dramatic curved staircase with raised ceiling, which elegantly winds from the first floor to the second. upstairs, the primary suite sits just above the living room, offering privacy, ample space, and a peaceful view. the second floor also includes three additional bedrooms, with a large full bath, and a long hallway that mirrors the first, again bringing in beautiful light through garden-facing fenestrations. one of the secondary bedrooms—located above the kitchen—offers a timeless wrought-iron balcony overlooking the rear gardens.
on the third floor, you'll find an ensuite bedroom, a laundry area and two bonus rooms that can become whatever your imagination desires—studio, storage, meditation space etc. allow your visionss to become reality
the home also includes incredible gardens, filled with mature plantings, specimen trees and everblooming seasonal colors. the serene setting comes complete with a blue stone terrace, flowing koi pond, pebbled driveway and a detached garage.
located in the historic french village—a 24-home enclave built between 1924 and 1936—this house is part of a preserved piece of philadelphia’s architectural history. while you'll feel transported to a european countryside, you're just steps from wissahickon valley park and everything that northwest philadelphia has to offer.
this home is about light, elegance, and enchanting character. don’t miss the opportunity to own a piece of history in one of the city's most romantic neighborhoods.
