About This Property
Welcome to 420 West Allens Lane, a historic treasure nestled in
coveted West Mount Airy. This meticulously renovated 5 bedroom, 3.5
bath late 19th-century farmhouse, accompanied by a picturesque
2-bedroom stone carriage house and immaculate grounds, situated on
two lots comprising almost half an acre, offers an unparalleled
oasis within the city. This home is ideal for multi-generational
living, working from home, or simply a stunning hideaway. Enter the
main house through the glass-paned vestibule to a formal living
room, boasting large windows, built-in bookshelves, original
hardwood floors, and a fantastic fireplace that serves as the
room's focal point. Adjacent to the living room is a spacious
dining room, perfect for memorable gatherings. It is complemented
by a butler's pantry with wet bar, beverage refrigerator, granite
countertops, and stylish built-in cabinets. The eat-in chef's
kitchen, equipped with stainless appliances, Smeg range and
underfloor heating, is a light-filled, happy space with a
convenient laundry area and powder room, while the rear-entry
mudroom adds practicality. A bright sunroom with views across the
lawn and a second fireplace completes the first level. The second
floor, accessed by front and rear staircases, offers three
bedrooms, including one currently configured as a suite with
dressing room and en-suite bathroom and another with an adjacent
sitting room and full bathroom. Venturing to the third floor, you
will find two more bedrooms with views across West Mt. Airy,
and a beautiful, sunny bathroom with dual vanities, a soaking
tub, and a separate walk-in shower. The historic carriage house,
featuring vaulted wood beam ceilings, a wood burning fireplace, and
a deck overlooking the grounds, adds uniqueness to this property.
With two bedrooms, a galley kitchen, and a full bath, it provides
an ideal space for guests, in-laws, a studio, office or use for
rental income (after retaining a rental license). Below,
there is a three-car garage with two EV chargers and abundant
storage. Beautifully landscaped and fully fenced, the garden offers
both aesthetic beauty and practical space for gardening, playing,
entertaining, and relaxation. There's even a chicken coop (now
being used as a shed)! Freshly painted exterior; newer roofing;
privacy fence; new chimney flues and EPA certified wood burning
insert; and updated wiring and plumbing are all great advantages.
The location offers easy access to the city, and the convenience of
walking to dining, shopping, Fairmount Park trails and public
transit in both Mount Airy and Chestnut Hill. This timeless home,
full of historical charm and contemporary comforts, is sure to
appeal. Update: Seller has retained a zoning attorney with the goal
of securing zoning relief for single home development on 422 W
Allens, as well as recording two separate deeds for 420 and 422.
Both parcels are still being sold together.
