Property Description
Welcome to "Little Garth" at 7401 Cresheim Road in West Mount Airy, surrounded by the Wissahickon Valley Park and Trails. Originally built in the 1920s, in the farmhouse style , reminiscent of the French countryside, for artist/illustrator Elizabeth Shippen Green and her husband, Huger Elliott, an architect and former president of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. A fine architectural treasure, this exquisite residence underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2015. Current owners have made their mark with upgrades that include radiant heating system for the kitchen and living room and new third-floor bath. You will love every inch of this fabulous home, beautifully sited on .62 acres. The traditional floor plan offers +-5620 square feet, ideal for today's preferred lifestyle. 4/5 bedrooms, 3 full and 1 half bath. Newer kitchen, butler's pantry with wine storage, and generous eat-in area just begging for a long farm table. Formal dining room, sunroom/office ideal for those working from home. Super cozy library with fireplace and generous built-in cabinetry. The living room, originally set up as the artist's studio is loaded with light and offers soaring 10+ foot ceilings and large fireplace. Upstairs, on two floors, you will find the owner's suite with ample closetry and primary bath. 3/4 additional bedrooms and 2 baths. Second-floor laundry is a treat. The lower level offers lots of space for storage and could be partially finished in the future. Outside, two separate terraces and lovely woodland gardens. This is a rare combination of a classic Philadelphia home with all the modern amenities you could wish for, a short drive to Mount Airy or Chestnut Hill, 30 minutes to Philadelphia, and 90 minutes to Manhattan.
