Tucked back from the street on beautifully manicured grounds, "High Oaks" is a quintessential Philadelphia-area stone estate, offering so much privacy that it's hard to believe you’re still in the city. Built of Wissahickon schist, the stone so closely associated with Philadelphia-area architecture, the home is surrounded by mature trees and carefully curated plantings that create a lush, park-like setting. Step inside and the scale of the home becomes immediately apparent. A wide center hall and impressive staircase set the tone, with high ceilings, oversized windows and beautiful architectural details throughout. To the right, dual fireplaces and impressive built-in shelves anchor the gracious formal living space with a pair of doors leading to the covered side porch. Across the hall, the exceptionally large dining room has its own beautiful built-ins and oversized windows that fill the room with natural light. The updated kitchen is designed for how people live today, with a large island for gathering and casual meals, a large cook's refrigerator and plenty of storage. A pantry, mudroom and powder room round out the first floor, while both front and back staircases provide access to the floors above. The second floor is almost a home unto itself. The four-room primary suite includes a spacious bedroom with fireplace, a separate dressing room with another fireplace, a sleeping porch overlooking the manicured grounds and a large primary bath with both a shower and jetted tub. Also on this level are an additional bedroom, a comfortable family den with fireplace (which could be used as a bedroom), two stylishly updated bathrooms and a renovated laundry room, conveniently located in the middle of it all. Continue up the main staircase to the third floor, where you’ll find three more bedrooms, an updated full bathroom, a small office or storage room and a separate sitting area that could easily become a game room, hangout space, studio or whatever works for you. An unfinished basement provides additional storage. There’s even more flexibility above the detached garage, where a finished apartment offers separate space for guests, an au pair, a home office or other uses. The apartment has also previously been used as a short-term rental. And then there’s the location --two blocks from the Upsal station with regional rail service taking you to Center City in less than 30 minutes. The White Trail entrance to Wissahickon Valley Park is even closer, putting miles of trails practically at your doorstep. From there, cyclists can connect into the larger trail network and ride along the Schuylkill River Trail toward Center City, making it possible to trade a traditional commute for a bike ride or simply head out for exercise on a Saturday morning. Neighborhood shops and restaurants, farmers markets, parks, public and private schools, major highways are all within easy reach. For all its size and presence, what may be most remarkable about 609 W Hortter is how tucked away it feels. It’s a substantial stone home surrounded by beautiful grounds, with the Wissahickon practically around the corner, yet everything that makes West Mt. Airy such a desirable place to live is close by.

Offered for sale for only the 3rd time in its more than 100-year history! A rare opportunity to own one of West Mt. Airy’s most architecturally distinctive homes! 419 Gate Lane is an extraordinary 2½-story French Norman Revival home constructed of Wissahickon Schist & one of only 24 residences comprising the Philadelphia designated French Village Historic District. Commissioned by visionary developer Dr. George Woodward, designed by acclaimed Philadelphia architect Robert Rodes McGoodwin & built by John E. Walt, architectural records identify the residence as Woodward’s “Gate House F,” a cornerstone of the fabled French Village. French Village's 24 residences were created as Woodward’s romantic interpretation of the rural architecture of Normandy, France. Its stone houses, intimate lanes, walls, gatehouses & archways reflect French Norman Revival architecture with Garden Suburb & Arts & Crafts influences. Woodward assembled leading Philadelphia architects to create individually distinctive residences within a unified village setting. McGoodwin studied architecture at the University of Pennsylvania, worked for renowned architect Horace Trumbauer, studied in Europe on a Cresson Traveling Scholarship & later taught design at Penn. Built in 1925–26, the home is an exceptional example of French Norman Revival architecture with Wissahickon Schist construction, a steep bell cast hipped slate roof, copper gutters/downspouts, gable & eyebrow dormer windows. Recognized for its architectural significance, 419 Gate Lane was included in McGoodwin’s 1942 published monograph & has been featured in magazines, newspapers & WHYY. Set on an approximately .31 acre lot, this detached residence offers 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths & a 1st-floor powder room, an attached 1-car garage & 6-car off-street parking. Beautiful period details blend seamlessly with modern amenities. Significant updates include fresh professional interior paint, HE Crown gas boiler & HWH, HE Bryant high-velocity central air, 200 amp electric panels (no knob & tube wiring), EV 240V “RV Plug” for fast Level 2 charging, refinished hardwood floors, updated kitchen & baths, ceiling fans, light fixtures, Trex deck with wrought iron railings, professional landscaping & hardscaping, restored windows & doors & more. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace, built-in bookshelves, crown molding & recessed lighting. French doors from the living room, dining room & sun room open to the full length Trex deck for exceptional indoor/outdoor living. The renovated kitchen has 2 sinks, quartzite countertops, gas cooking, custom Pappajohn Woodworking cabinetry & stainless-steel appliances. The 2nd floor offers a spacious primary suite with generous closet space & private bath with stall shower, plus a 2nd bedroom, hall bath & upper-floor laundry with Samsung washer & dryer. The top floor has a 3rd bedroom & full bath, ideal for guests, family or a home office. The walkout lower level at grade has a 4th bedroom & 4th full bath & can also serve as an in-law/au pair suite, office, kids’ & pets’ playroom or Peloton/Pilates/Yoga studio, plus storage, gardening & utility rooms. Surrounded by mature gardens, specimen trees, native pollinator landscaping & a water feature, the property backs directly to Wissahickon Valley Park, offering exceptional access to its natural beauty, wooded trails & recreational opportunities. Cresheim Creek, Allens Lane Art Center, Carpenter’s Woods & SEPTA’s Allen Lane Station to Philadelphia are just blocks away, with easy access to Springside, shops, restaurants & cafes of Mt. Airy Village, Germantown Avenue & Chestnut Hill. With the Philadelphia Homestead Exemption, estimated 2027 property taxes would be $20,129.

Architectural pedigree, historic significance, natural beauty & modern livability combine in a setting unlike almost anything else in Philadelphia.

Believed to date to the 19th century, this architecturally distinctive three-story Federal-style end-of-row home captures the character and craftsmanship that make West Mt. Airy so special. Set within a neighborhood celebrated for its rich architectural heritage, long tradition of civic engagement and strong sense of community, the home beautifully balances its preserved period details with the modern comforts of today. From the stucco façade, paneled shutters, dentiled cornice and traditional entry details to the richly restored original wide-plank wood floors found throughout much of the home, its history can be felt at every turn. The distinctive split exterior entry shutters can be opened partially or fully, while a conventional inner door provides modern comfort and energy efficiency. Inside, the open main level creates an inviting flow between the living room, dining area and extended kitchen. Original beams, custom built-in bookshelves and a remarkable antique mantel display featuring ornate cast-iron stove doors give the living room warmth and personality rarely found in newer construction. The cast-iron doors are now decorative, with the former openings sealed behind them, preserving an intriguing reminder of the home’s past. The spacious kitchen addition offers exceptional cabinet and counter space, warm maple cabinetry, gas cooking, recessed lighting, a coordinating collection of dark-stainless appliances, a brand-new dishwasher and a convenient built-in workspace overlooking the yard. Brand-new luxury plank flooring provides an attractive and practical finish. A glass-paneled rear door and huge windows fill the room with natural light and opens directly to the expansive backyard. The first floor also includes a powder room and a thoughtfully relocated laundry closet with a full-size stacked washer and dryer - no need to carry laundry to the basement. The second floor is arranged as a generously sized bedroom suite with two connected areas, allowing plenty of room for a sitting area, dressing space, home office or private retreat. A full bathroom features a pedestal sink, tiled tub and shower surround, glass enclosure and classic fixtures. The third floor offers two additional connected rooms, providing wonderful flexibility. Use the larger room as a bedroom and the second as an office, nursery, studio, dressing room or sitting room. Skylights, multiple windows and the end-of-row exposure bring an abundance of natural light to the upper level. Although officially listed as a two-bedroom home, the versatile three-story layout provides multiple options for sleeping, working and relaxing and can easily function much like a three-bedroom residence. Modern conveniences include gas forced-air heat, central air conditioning, updated electrical wiring and numerous replacement windows, while the roof and plumbing systems have been consistently maintained. Outside, the beautifully landscaped front garden provides colorful curb appeal and a welcoming entrance. The exceptionally deep backyard extends nearly the length of a city block, creating a rare urban retreat with room for gardening, recreation, entertaining and pets. Mature greenery offers a peaceful natural setting, and multiple storage sheds provide space for gardening tools, bicycles and outdoor equipment. Rich in history, character and possibilities, this is not a cookie-cutter home. It is a truly special West Mt. Airy residence where carefully preserved architectural details, flexible living spaces and modern amenities come together on an extraordinary property.
