216 W Durand St

Cozy and comfortable......charming yet sophisticated.....character galore with updates for today. These phrases aptly describe 216 W Durand St, a delightful, picturesque two story stone row with over 1500 square feet situated in a quiet pretty enclave with the feel of a village in sought after West Mt Airy. Past the privacy shrubbery and across the welcoming front porch, one enters into the super charming interior with exposed hardwood floors, fresh paint, good light and elegant touches such as brass sconces flanking the fireplace. The brick fireplace is the focal point of the living room with its carved wood mantel and electrified antique basket insert offering soft lighting. Natural light fills the large dining room which is open to the kitchen. Counter space accommodating the sink and dishwasher separate the two rooms and create additional seating. There is ample cabinetry, stainless appliances, rich tile back splash with a diamond pattern. Slate-like counters flank the stove and the adjoining pantry area houses the stainless refrigerator and opens to a small breezy deck. Upstairs are three lovely bedrooms with good closets and an updated hall bathroom. The bright, clean-as-a-whistle basement is great for storage, exercise, and with its expansive workbench and multiple drawers, for hobbies, crafts, wood working and you name it! The washer and dryer in the laundry area are newer, there is a one piece bathroom and a handy cedar closet. The attached one car garage has a new door and has been recently painted on the interior. There is BRAND NEW central air. This well maintained, turn-key home is conveniently located to the train, bus, to Mt Airy's charming shopping district with its eclectic mix of shops and restaurants, to the Wissahickon for outdoor recreation and is an easy commute to Center City. Definitely not to be missed!
