129 CARPENTER LN Philadelphia, PA 19119

Built in 1915 by prominent Philadelphia architect C. Wharton Churchman, Stone Gables sits on .45 acres, enclosed on two sides by beautiful stone walls. One of the earliest examples of the Norman or Cotswold style in the Philadelphia area, the home is constructed of Wissahickon schist with hand-cut stone lintels and sills framing the doors and windows. Amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail are apparent throughout. The house is graciously proportioned with six bedrooms (most with cedar closets), three and a half baths, four fireplaces, wonderful high ceilings, original mahogany doors, quarter-sawn oak and heart-of-pine floors, and crown moldings. The large dining room is ideal for entertaining and the living room opens to a spectacular enclosed porch. A full wall of windows on each side flood this room with sunlight. Over the years, the owners have made significant improvements to the house, including the complete renovation of the large eat-in kitchen and adjoining mudroom-porch, the construction of a stone walled outdoor patio, the renovation of two bathrooms, the replacement of all of the storm windows, and the planting of a natural side garden with native shade plants. The eat-in kitchen has granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher, a cook s stove, a built-in microwave/convection oven, a side-by-side refrigerator, and a walk-in pantry. All of the appliances have been replaced in the last five years. The second floor includes a very convenient laundry room. The house also has off-street parking, including a two-car garage. The outdoor space offers many charming features such as a sunny courtyard with built-in stone seating, an herb garden, a wall fountain, and a built-in compass. Ideally located just minutes from the train, Weaver s Way Coop and Mt. Airy s charming business district. Hit the trails of the Wissahickon and Carpenter s Woods, both within a 10-minute walk. This is a stunning house of rare quality and craftsmanship; you do not want to miss it! (For video- go to https://imprv.co/telf )
