Welcome to this beautifully renovated West Mount Airy twin located in an idyllic setting on a quiet street on the edge of Carpenter Woods. If you love to cook and entertain, then this home is for you. In 2007 the current owners merged the galley kitchen with the dining room to create a more professional range space and offer a nice sight-line into the main living and fireplace area. This transformed the first floor into a larger, more comfortable open layout and with the breakfast bar area and long steel counters, allowed them to prep and cook and feel connected with whatever else was happening in the house. The pro kitchen additions included a large Wolf range, Thermador refrigerator and freezer, two dishwashers, and new windows above the deep sink that was custom made to fit the largest pasta/stock pot. Realizing the garage, like many in the area was too small to fit a car and would become nothing more than a storage space, they redesigned it into a fantastic outdoor entertaining space by moving the entrance to the longer side and built a wood fired pizza oven inside and added a gorgeous, reclaimed farm sink along with heated floors to allow for year round usage. The space overlooks a three tier raised bed garden that has provided much fresh organic produce enabling them to pick fresh basil, peppers, oregano, rosemary, etc. for the toppings of the pizzas they just made! In addition there are a first floor half bath, a covered front porch, a primary suite with an updated full bath including a huge shower, four total bedrooms, high velocity central air, plenty of off street parking, a new boiler, new water heater, a temperature controlled wine room, and all new wiring and plumbing upgrades. The location can't be beat. Steps from the front door is tranquil Carpenters Woods part of Fairmount Park and adjacent to the magnificent Wissahickon Valley. The Weavers Way Coop, High Point Cafe, and Blue Marble Bookstore are within walking distance and the shops and restaurants of Germantown Avenue in Mt Airy and Chestnut Hill are a short ride away. Center City is easily accessed by Lincoln and Kelly Drives or by hopping on the Chestnut Hill West line. Homes like this don't come up very often. Make an appointment to see this one today.
