c. 1920s Tudor in West Mt Airy imparts lessons in scale, self-expression, and gracious refinement. Sometimes a house speaks for itself, and this one has a big voice. The distinctive glass-enclosed front porch opens to the living room with a stone fireplace (recently lined), a bright formal dining room in direct sunlight, and an updated kitchen with shaker-style wood cabinets, Corian counters and a walk-in pantry closet. Off the kitchen is a small deck with storage underneath and an enclosed patio. The first floor boasts beautiful, refinished oak hardwood floors with a ribbon trim. Up the recently carpeted stairs to the second floor, you find a large main bedroom (originally two rooms) with closets galore and a new Anderson door to a second-floor deck, your own private retreat with a spectacular view! There is also an updated hall bath and a second bedroom/home office on this floor. The third floor offers two more bedrooms with hardwood floors and a new tiled hall bath. The basement, with recently dashed walls, includes a clean, bright laundry space. There are also two radiators, making for a comfortable workshop or a ready-to-finish extra space. There is a newer 100-amp electric service, newer windows throughout, a newer mansard shingle roof (2011) with recoated flat main roof, a newer gas hot water heater, a new garage door and much more.

This home has a genteel luxuriousness, classic and enduring but fresh and informed, and is situated on a beautiful West Mt Airy block umbrellaed by mature white Sycamore trees!!! Families with young children, couples, and singles, all are welcome to this block which stirs to life with the glossy color of blooms and plenty of urban energy!
