We are pleased to present 6900 Wissahickon Avenue, in beautiful West Mount Airy, Philadelphia, an absolutely stunning property and recently featured in Architectural Digest and the WSJ Fine Homes Edition. Designed by Robert McGoodwin in 1919, this beautiful Wissahickon Schist stone home has been ...thoughtfully renovated to reflect todayâs lifestyle. The 7,600+ square foot home, on a shy acre, has beautiful mature perennial gardens, elaborate stone walls, blue stone and brick walkways, a potting shed, guest house, two-car garage, large parking court, and is situated steps to coveted Wissahickon trails. Beautifully designed for entertaining and daily living, the interior is a masterclass in classic simplicity.

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 butlerâs 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 â a great gathering place for cocktails and snacks, which leads to large south-facing brick terrace for gracious outdoor entertainment.
