Airy such as this, the crowing corner house of a row of turn-of-century Queen Anne Victorian homes, built ca. 1895. While updated and modernized, this house has uniquely maintained its charm, character and much of its original woodwork and trim throughout. An exterior picket and masonry fence with two iron gates wraps around the property. The grounds contain shrubs,pines, fruit trees and a raised bed flower and vegetable garden. The house is built with Wissahickon Schist limestone and brick/stucco, keeping it warm in the winter and naturally cooler in the summer. New warranted shingle roof. Slate flagstone walkways lead to a front porch with a wrap-around iron railing and an arched, columned flanking entryway over a large, handsome wooden and brass hardware door.
