Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from August 21, 2023
c. 1920s Tudor in West Mt Airy imparts lessons in scale, self-expression, and gracious refinement. Sometimes a house speaks for itself, and this one has a big voice. The distinctive glass-enclosed front porch opens to the living room with a stone fireplace (recently lined), a bright formal dining room in direct sunlight, and an updated kitchen with shaker-style wood cabinets, Corian counters and a walk-in pantry closet. Off the kitchen is a small deck with storage underneath and an enclosed patio. The first floor boasts beautiful, refinished oak hardwood floors with a ribbon trim. Up the recently carpeted stairs to the second floor, you find a large main bedroom (originally two rooms) with closets galore and a new Anderson door to a second-floor deck, your own private retreat with a spectacular view! There is also an updated hall bath and a second bedroom/home office on this floor. The third floor offers two more bedrooms with hardwood floors and a new tiled hall bath. The basement, with recently dashed walls, includes a clean, bright laundry space. There are also two radiators, making for a comfortable workshop or a ready-to-finish extra space. There is a newer 100-amp electric service, newer windows throughout, a newer mansard shingle roof (2011) with recoated flat main roof, a newer gas hot water heater, a new garage door and much more. This home has a genteel luxuriousness, classic and enduring but fresh and informed, and is situated on a beautiful West Mt Airy block umbrellaed by mature white Sycamore trees!!! Families with young children, couples, and singles, all are welcome to this block which stirs to life with the glossy color of blooms and plenty of urban energy!

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have a first grader this year and absolutely love our school community. I have volunteered at the school for some of the extra curricular activities including last year’s school musical and spelling bee. Being on-site I found it remarkable how loved these kids are by all the staff. You can tell in this small community, each member of the Houston team knows the kids personally and cares about their success. That’s the most important part for me, but I’ve also been impressed by how they meet each child’s learning needs. My son came in reading at a fairly high level but he left Kindergarten reading at an early second grade level according to his assessments. That’s largely due to the school and their teaching methods. This year, I’m amazed by how excited he is to learn. He comes home everyday with some strange factoid from STEM or social studies and it’s clear he’s being engaged with the content. And finally, they also clearly teach the kids how to be good community members to one another. During the musical, the eighth graders were incredibly kind and encouraging to all the kindergarteners and younger kids. My son comes home clearly having learned how to be supportive of his peers. Houston teaches kids not only how to be good scholars but also how to be good humans. We need this level of commitment and care for all schools!Parent Review1y ago - Roxborough High School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is the worst school I have ever seen in my life. I moved to the area with my daughter going into school as a freshman. It was and still is absolutely horrible. The kids act like wild animals and the staff does absolutely nothing at all. You go to school to learn not to fight and be disrespectful to each other and faculty. I just thank the Lord I am in a position that I was able to move so my daughter could attend an amazing school that she deserves. The majority of the students come from the roughest areas in Philly they need to stay and tear down the area schools where they are from and not bring the nonsense to the better areas of Philly. The area to live is amazing the schools however need to be shut down.Parent Review5mo ago
