Property Description

We are pleased to present 6900 Wissahickon Avenue, in beautiful West Mount Airy,
Philadelphia, an absolutely stunning property and recently featured in Architectural Digest and the WSJ Fine Homes Edition. Designed by Robert McGoodwin in 1919, this beautiful Wissahickon Schist stone home has been thoughtfully renovated to reflect today’s lifestyle. The 7,600+ square foot home, on a shy acre, has beautiful mature perennial gardens, elaborate stone walls, blue stone and brick walkways, a potting shed, guest house, two-car garage, large parking court, and is situated steps to coveted Wissahickon trails. Beautifully designed for entertaining and daily living, the interior is a masterclass in classic simplicity. The home is infused with natural light and fresh energy unlike any other home in this sedate corner of Philadelphia. The first floor features a sun-filled, gracious floor plan with pristine hardwood floors and coveted architectural details and moldings, meticulously and lovingly restored. Grand front to back entry hall with a sweeping staircase, formal front to back living room, elegant dining room, and a handsome paneled library, all with fireplaces. A gourmet kitchen with a large center island and dining area, adjoins a butler’s pantry complete with a second dishwasher and wine storage, flower prep room, mudroom and glass paneled sunroom. Also, on the first floor you will find a stunning paneled pub room – a great gathering place for cocktails and snacks, which leads to large south-facing brick terrace for gracious outdoor entertainment. Upstairs is a spacious primary suite, which includes adjoining sitting room, luxurious ensuite marble bathroom, and generous closets. The primary suite is sun-filled with windows facing south, west, and north. Also, on the second floor, you will find a large secondary bedroom with ensuite bathroom, two additional bedrooms, bathroom, and laundry room. On the third floor, there are three additional bedrooms, a bathroom, family room, and ample storage rooms. There is also a back staircase, powder room on the first floor, half bath in the basement, and a fully equipped guest house with washer and dryer. There have been extensive updates to this home, including bathrooms, kitchen, guest house, walls, windows, floors, grounds, which have been refurbished to perfection. Among the updates is a newly installed four zone heat -pump system for heating and cooling (with a fifth, new heat- pump system in the guest house), as well as redundant hot water radiator heat to efficiently provide year-round comfort. This home stands as a proud testament to Philadelphia’s rich architectural heritage, a timeless treasure perfect for comfortable, family-friendly living, while also an elegant place to entertain. Close to Center City, Chestnut Hill and all major highways.
