Description

Located at the top of Lincoln Drive, this center-hall colonial is ready for immediate occupancy. With 6 bedrooms and 3 full baths and one-half bath (on the first floor), there is ideal space for more than one home office. Upon entry, the vestibule and foyer lead to the living room with a working fireplace, an enclosed porch (a perfect den!), and the formal dining room with a bay window. Off the foyer is an extra-wide staircase to the 2nd floor, a step-down powder room, and the recently renovated kitchen. With cherry cabinets, granite countertops, a center island, farmhouse sink and stainless steel appliances, the kitchen will be the hub of activity in this house. Complementing the kitchen area is a butler's pantry with a 2nd oven and bar sink with access to the 2nd floor from the back stairs. Access to the basement—with laundry, storage, and a partially finished extra room—is off the kitchen, as well as outdoor access to the driveway, and an oversized, heated 1-car garage. Moving upstairs, the main bedroom suite is at the front of the house. This bedroom suite has three built-in bureaus, two large closets, and an ensuite bath with a walk-in glass-enclosed shower and cherry vanity. Adjacent to the main bedroom is a second bedroom with access to the hall bath. Across the hall is the 3rd bedroom with a deep closet. Located above the garage, the large 4th bedroom provides natural light on three sides and boasts a large cedar closet. On the third floor, there are two more bedrooms at each end of the house with an abundance of light. Between the bedrooms are two closets, a large storage room, and a 3rd full bath. The high-velocity A/C system located in the attic ensures that the entire house is comfortable in all seasons. Built in 1925, 7209 Lincoln Drive has been updated for 21st-century living. The list of renovations and improvements includes but is not limited to, refinished original hardwood floors, replacement of original wiring (2023), remodeling of every bathroom, installation of two boilers with three zones, asbestos abatement in basement and garage, and new concrete entry at the front door. Two blocks from SEPTA’s Richard Allen Station, this home is ideally located for an easy commute to Center City and a short walk to the heart of Mt. Airy’s business district on Germantown Ave. With access to the Cresheim Creek trail and the Wissahickon across the street, homeowners enjoy a walker's paradise.
