About this home
Extremely rare opportunity on the quiet loop block of Arbutus-- A perfect West Mt. Airy location. Offers a 3-bedroom; 2.5-bath home with a spacious 2nd floor family room; a large, bright sunroom; a pool, and a huge rear yard on a spacious 0.5 acre lot. Attached Garage for one car plus a driveway for Multi-Car PARKING. Also a large, dry basement with excellent ceiling height-- ideal for re-finishing (also with an additional 1/2 bath that is not included in the bath count above).
Just three blocks to the Wissahickon trails, Carpenter Woods, and Mt. Airy Village—an A+ location.
This home has a new 50-year asphalt shingle roof (Russell Roofing installed in September 2023 with full warranty) and newer 2-zone HVAC system (April 2019 with warranty through 4/2029). Other than these systems, the home and pool need significant upgrading and would be a perfect candidate for a renovation and addition. The acreage is large enough to build a spacious addition (or a larger new construction home) by right. 605 Arbutus offers superb flexibility for renovation or new construction. Enjoy peaceful street presence while remaining moments from nature, everyday conveniences, and excellent transit options.
Also, for the first time ever available, the last lot of its kind in a most premium West Mt Airy location-- an additional contiguous 0.5 acre lot fronting Westview (802 Westview) is available separately, allowing a buyer to assemble a truly exceptional parcel spanning from Arbutus to Westview. $900,000 for the 802 Westview lot and $1,800,000 for the combined parcels. Enjoy an expansive footprint in one of West Mt. Airy’s most coveted pockets. Note—RSD-1 zoning. Contact agent for more information.
First time available. Last spacious lot of its kind in most premium West Mt Airy location. This wooded 0.5 acre parcel sits on the lovely, tree-lined block of Westview between Wayne & Wissahickon. This stellar location is a two block walk to both the Wissahickon trails and Carpenter Woods, and just three blocks to Mt Airy Village featuring Weavers Way Coop and High Point Cafe.
Perhaps the last opportunity to build a spectacular new construction home on such a gorgeous and spacious West Mt Airy lot in an A+ location.
This parcel is also available to be purchased along with 605 Arbutus Street, on the desirable loop-block, for a one-of-a-kind street-to-street one-acre offering comprising these two separate parcels, Westview (0.5 acres; $900,000) and the Arbutus parcel (05 acres; $900,000). The 605 Arbutus parcel includes a 3-bedroom plus family room, 2.5-bath home with a bright sunroom, a pool, and Garage and driveway parking. Purchase these parcels together for $1,800,000. See the SEPARATE LISTING for 605 Arbutus and/or contact agent for more information
