West Mt. Airy |
Rock Oaks is a verdant acre and a half situated on the east side of Wissahickon Avenue in a very desirable section of West Mount Airy in Philadelphia. A short walk from Wissahickon Creek, it boasts a very interesting, custom detached residence designed by architect Andrew Borzner in 1927. One could drive up and down Wissahickon Avenue for years, and one would not necessarily notice this house for it is shielded from the street by a small forest of shrubs and trees that create and enviable privacy for the occupants of the home. This is the first time since 1957 that this home has been available to purchase, and it includes two premises: 7117 and 7125 Wissahickon Avenue.
The two-story home has a stucco façade with some flat roof and some handsome tiled roof. Much of its architectural character has a southwestern flair. The interior offers broad open spaces on the first floor including a 20’ x 40’ studio with vaulted ceiling which previous owner J. Mitchell Elliott used as his art/photography studio. 3 large and two small bedrooms are on the 2nd floor and include a large master suite with master bath, a bath for each of the other of the large bedrooms, and a full bath that serves the two smaller ones. A delightful 2nd floor sleeping porch is fully screened and overlooks the sweeping landscape.

Germantown |
 What a sweet, modest Victorian residence! This detached brick, 3-story home was built in the mid-Victorian era somewhere between 1885 and 1889 on land that was very close to the old Woltemate Nurseries. Its enclosed front porch has a serene view of the Trinity Lutheran Church and its historic cemetery where some of the leading citizens of colonial Germantown were laid to rest. At the corner of Queen Lane and Germantown Avenue is the colonial print shop where Christopher Sauer printed the first bible ever printed in colonial America using paper from the Rittenhouse Paper Mills on the Wissahickon Creek. Colonial and Victorian history touches all of Germantown. Residents of the Penn-Knox area particularly enjoy the resonance of history in their backyards. They prize a sketch of the architecturally interesting homes on Queen Lane created by local artist Ann LaBorie a number of years ago. A copy of that sketch is attached here, and you will see #44 West Queen Lane at its center. Today, 44 West Queen Lane is a 5 bedroom, 1 ½ bath home with oak and pine floors, high ceilings, charming interior shutters, an enclosed porch and a very private rear covered patio overlooking garden beds. It enjoys a convenient location close to a variety of places of worship, public and private schools, the shops on Germantown Avenue, and excellent bus and commuter train public transportation.

Chestnut Hill |
There is a place in Chestnut Hill where six homes surround a meadow. It is where environmental stewardship, community responsibility and enlightened design all came together in 2004 and 2005 to create a unique living arrangement called Krisheim East. Now six custom-designed homes look out on a pristine 2 ½ acre meadow that has been forever preserved by a conservation easement held by the Chestnut Hill Historical Society. All those who enter Chestnut Hill over the McCallum Street Bridge can enjoy this broad stretch of nature as they pass by. The property at 606 West Mermaid Lane is part of this special community. In fact, it is the largest of the six lots, and its home, a 2 bedroom, 2 ½ bathroom custom-designed detached residence with a one-car garage, is a 2,637 square foot private retreat within an inspired planned garden. Every room is lit by the sun during the day. The back of the house, very much contemporary in style, opens its multiple oversize, south-facing windows onto the serene vista of lawn, garden and meadow. It is a distinctive property that contributes to the mystique of Krisheim East while enjoying all the character, charm and resources of Chestnut Hill.

Germantown |
424 West Price Street is a wonderful example of an historic Germantown residence. Built in 1887, it is a detached 3-story stone Victorian of the “shingle” style designed by the well-known architectural firm Hazelhurst & Huckel. With 3 floors, it offers 5 bedrooms and 2 ½ baths on a lot slightly less than ¼ acre in size. What it really offers to a homeowner, however, is an opportunity to live in a beautiful, excellently maintained vintage home that has 21st century upgrades yet retains all of its valuable 19th century architectural detail: handsome gambrel roof lines, shingled turret, 4 fireplaces, over-sized original Queen Ann style windows, several deep window sills with comfortable window benches, and so much more. The house is complimented by a superb garden of luscious perennial flowers and shrubs.

East Falls |
SPLENDID MODERN! This significant mid-century contemporary is a perfect combination of stone, wood and glass that compliments and enriches its green surroundings. Designed by Montgomery & Bishop in 1958, it sits amidst three sylvan acres on a private residential road in East Falls adjacent to Fairmount Park. Among architects, it is known as the “Winkelman Residence”, and if one is looking for the sophistication of simplicity that so well marks the modernist movement, one finds it in abundance here.
East Falls, a long-established and historic community on the banks of the Schuylkill River, hosts a variety of housing styles that have appealed over the years to residents who love a tranquil residential setting along with a 10 minute drive to Center City Philadelphia or a 20 minute commuter train ride. Apalogen Road is perhaps its most charming location and certainly its most private.
