Local architect Howard Smith Richards teamed up with builder and fellow Gowen Avenue resident Horace Burrell to build this stunning addition to the historic Gowen Estates. With only four owners since its completion in 1907, this timelessly elegant home is ready for new owners. The welcoming, gable-end front porch not only provides incredible curb appeal, but offers a lovely spot to enjoy morning coffee or chat with neighbors. Enter the freshly painted foyer with high, coffered ceilings. French doors lead to a cozy living room with a gas fireplace, a perfect spot to warm up after arriving home. Just beyond the living room is a fabulous sunroom with exposed stone walls and access to the patio, offering an ideal layout for entertaining. To the right of the foyer sits the formal dining room which can easily accommodate your family gatherings. Enjoy unique touches such as the stained glass window panes and a beautiful window etching created by the current owner. A very large eat-in kitchen with high ceilings and a convenient powder room complete the first level. The upper floors provide a good deal of flexibility. A spacious primary ensuite features a deep window seat and a four-piece bathroom with all new plumbing. The adjoining study with custom mahogany bookshelves is the perfect space for an office or den. Two additional large bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a spacious and sunny laundry room round out the 2nd floor. Continue up to the 3rd floor which offers a flexible floor plan and excellent storage. You will find a large, bright bedroom as well a multi-purpose room recently used as an art studio, which could easily be another bedroom. A smaller storage area makes a sweet playroom or office space. There is a third full bathroom and a large storage room. You will fall in love with the spectacular rear yard, with a gorgeous white oak as its centerpiece. Wander among mountain laurel, hydrangea, rhododendron and much more while enjoying fresh figs from your very own fig tree (currently wrapped for winter). Gardeners will delight, as will anyone looking for a large, flat yard to enjoy. A very deep, detached garage offers plentiful parking, storage and even renovation possibilities. Located on a lovely street once The Prettiest Street in Mt. Airy, this home sits just .4 miles from the Mt. Airy train station and less than a mile from numerous restaurants and shops.
