Another single Tudor by Ashton Tourison, the legendary architect/builder of Mt. Airy~s Sedgwick Estates, is coming to market soon. Spacious without being overwhelming, this stone and stucco, once owned by the Freihofer family of local bakery fame, is ideal for an active family. The front entrance is framed by mature Japanese maples and the backyard has a stunning specimen Copper Beech. Enter the classic Center Hall and you will be struck by the lovely main staircase and beautiful stained-glass windows. Just past the staircase are a powder room and coat closet. On the left is the large living room with fireplace, crown molding and built in storage cabinets. Past the living room are an office with paneled walls and bookcases and a sunroom or playroom with another fireplace, walls of windows and French doors leading to the backyard. To the right of the Center Hall and through the windowed pocket doors is the formal dining room with its own fireplace, crown molding, built in cabinets and a door to a covered patio. Behind the dining room are a breakfast room (with the back staircase) and a spacious kitchen with stainless steel appliances, ample counter space and access through a mud room to the backyard patio, 2 car garage and parking area. The second floor has a large open landing at the top of the main staircase. The master bedroom has 2 large dressing rooms and direct access to the center hall bath which has a marble stall shower, classic soaking tub, pedestal sink and stained-glass windows. Accessible from the master bedroom and the hall as well, is a large room with the old (non-functioning) elevator cab, built-in bookshelves and cedar closet that can be a bedroom, nursery, office, sitting room or any combination. The second floor also has 2 other large bedrooms with big closets that share a second full bath and connect to an upstairs laundry room. The third floor has 2 large bedrooms, a recently renovated full bath and loads of closet space. There is a full basement with a small wine closet and access from both inside and outside the house. The house~s layout emphasizes flow, comfort, and understated elegance. In the back, next to the off-street 3 car parking area is the detached 2 car garage with its own heating and electrical systems and an in-law apartment above it. Recent improvements include bathroom and basement improvements and upgrades, new downspouts, heating and electrical system upgrades and improvements. All of this is in a prime location close to Mount Airy~s amenities that include restaurants, shopping, library, parks and the popular Quintessence Theater.
