Description
Extraordinary contemporary home situated on 1 acre of beautifully landscaped grounds! This architect-designed Mid-Century home has been meticulously designed for a modern lifestyle. Located on one of West Mt Airy's most desirable non-through streets bordering Fairmount Park, this home offers a luxurious retreat minutes from the City. Offering a subtle presence from the outside but with over 5000 interior square feet, the split-level design offers distinctly public and private living areas. The grand living room with 11.5' ceilings with wall to wall windows offering spectacular views to the backyard and a doorway to flagstone patio. The impressive kitchen with Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, wine cooler, Asko diswasher, Miele cappucino machine, and gorgeous stone countertops with modern cabinets, full attached laundry room and 2 first floor powder rooms. With 5 full bedrooms (one of which is a lower-level extra private suite), this home is expansive yet comfortably manageable. The Master Suite on the upper-level has a raised inset peak roof with a high design contemporary bath with double sink, expansive frameless shower, soaker tub and private his/hers closets. The lower-level has a phenomenal theater area, an intimate cuddle nook with custom book shelves, a workout area, additional kiddie play space, ample storage and utility room. The custom driveway leads to a two-car garage and a giant flagstone patio that is perfect for entertaining. The yard is surrounded by deer fence and has a custom porous enclosed basketball court. This wonderful home would feel comfortable nestled in the Hills above Hollywood and has a style and character rarely found in West Mount Airy. The park-like setting is idyllic and the views from every corner of the house remind you that you are in one of the most special areas in all of Philadelphia.
