6715 LINCOLN DR Philadelphia, PA 19119

Discreet elegance, and meticulous restoration of this distinctive Tudor (circa 1902) make this the best opportunity in West Mount Airy. Situated at the corner of Lincoln Drive and Cherokee St, and facing Cherokee, this house has it all: privacy and proximity, traditional architectural features and modern amenities, space for everyone with the intimacy we all crave, magical touches throughout the house and landscape. Well-maintained by the previous owner, the current steward has taken the house to another level. The exterior facades boast strong Tudor influences, with its steep tiled roof line, substantial chimneys, and half-timber details. Symmetrical in design with large windows and multiple doors to the outside, the house retains a strong relationship to the landscape and allows for large rooms that flow freely from one to another. Enter from Cherokee St, into a heat-saving vestibule, and then to refined foyer with beautiful turned staircase, leaded-glass window spanning two stories, and restored custom millwork. From the foyer, one can walk straight back to the dining room, right to the living room, or left to the kitchen-end of the house. Off the living room is the sun room with windows on three sides and a gas-fueled fireplace. Sophisticated lighting, beautifully restored parquet floors, elegant paint colors put this house in move-in condition. The landscape has not been overlooked. Mature trees and plantings anchor the newly defined patio, rustic "firepit" area, playhouse, and two car garage. The half-acre plus yard is private and pristine.
