We are pleased to present 6900 Wissahickon Avenue, in beautiful West Mount Airy,Philadelphia, an absolutely stunning property. Designed by Robert McGoodwin in 1919, this beautiful Wissahickon Schist stone home has been thoughtfully renovated to reflect today’s lifestyle.

Beautifully designed for entertaining and daily living, the interior is a masterclass in classic simplicity. The home is infused with natural light and fresh energy unlike any other home in this sedate corner of Philadelphia. The first floor features a sun-filled, gracious floor plan with pristine hardwood floors and coveted architectural details and moldings, meticulously and lovingly restored. Grand front to back entry hall with a sweeping staircase, formal front to back living room, elegant dining room, and a handsome paneled library, all with fireplaces. A gourmet kitchen with a large center island and dining area, adjoins a butler’s pantry complete with a second dishwasher and wine storage, flower prep room, mudroom and glass paneled sunroom. Also, on the first floor you will find a stunning paneled pub room – a great gathering place for cocktails and snacks, which leads to large south-facing brick terrace for gracious outdoor entertainment.
