Hurry to explore this stately Georgian 6 Bedroom, 4 Bathroom home in the Historic Pelham District of Mount Airy. As one descends through the curve of Pelham Road the blue majesty of the house is striking. A corner property, the house sits well back from the street on a half acre, unusually large for the city. This neighborhood recognized Blue House has elegant formal rooms but retains cozy charm. The front entry way features a mosaic tile floor, built-in bench seating, and leaded glass side panels framing both inner and outer front doors. The spacious Foyer’s recently refinished hardwood floors lead to a grand staircase. On one side of the Foyer rests the living room , with a gas fireplace. Mirrored on the foyer’s opposite side is a formal Parlor, with sliding pocket doors, leaded glass windows and a decorative fireplace. The Kitchen was recently updated with upgraded appliances, a breakfast bar and eat-in area. Adjacent to the Kitchen, and leading to the formal Dining Room, is a convenient Butler’s pantry which includes a wine fridge and plenty of cabinets for storage. The Dining Room itself contains built-in corner cabinets and a floor to ceiling walk-through window (jib window) leading to the Sunroom, a favorite space for the owner’s children. Back at the Kitchen, French doors lead to a Laundry and Mud Room. The Mud Room has its own full bath for the gardener’s convenience. Scaling the front staircase (there is another former servant’s access from the Kitchen to the 3rd floor) one passes by large windows which stream natural light as one mounts to the 2nd floor. The Primary Suite is huge with plenty of closets. The sellers intended to complete a remodel of the Primary Bath, but life had other plans for them. There is an adjoining Sitting Room/Bedroom, with a glorious Bay Window. The back staircase from the Kitchen leads to the 3rd floor with several more Bedrooms which also in the past have served as Offices and Playrooms. More storage space is provided with a walk-in closet and space under the eaves of this elegant home. The Basement, with tremendous space and clearance, would be suitable for creating a family room. The homeowners installed a new roof and all new electric wiring through out. Not only is Mount Airy itself without peer in Philadelphia, it lies within easy access of Chestnut Hill, trains, and Center City.
