Property Description

Welcome to 107 East Gowen Avenue, a distinguished Colonial Revival twin home nestled in the heart of Mt. Airy, Philadelphia. This exquisite residence, crafted in 1896 by the renowned architectural firm Cope and Stewardson, stands as a testament to timeless elegance and craftsmanship. With its red brick exterior laid in a classic Flemish bond pattern, this home exudes an aura of enduring quality and charm.

Stepping onto the property, you will find a 50-foot wide front yard, adorned with a wrought iron hairpin fence and a welcoming front gate. The yard has a grassy area shaded by majestic pine, maple, and oak trees. The driveway offers convenient off-street parking.  Cement lions proudly flank the front porch steps, inviting you to explore further. The porch itself offers a serene space with ample room for a table and chairs, leading to the entrance. The 2-inch thick front door opens into a refined foyer, showcasing a classically tiled floor and elegant wainscoting. Another door leads to the entry hall, where 9-foot ceilings create an open and airy ambiance.

The first floor unfolds with a front parlor or study, seamlessly transitioning through French doors into the living room, where a gas-log fireplace with a tiled hearth and carved mantle serves as a focal point. The adjoining dining room, with its stenciled pine floors, wide trim moldings, and modern Trompe L'oeil ceiling, offers a sophisticated setting for gatherings. The spacious kitchen at the rear features a charming breakfast nook framed by pilasters and an arch, perfect for morning meals. A powder room, washer and dryer, and access to both a side porch and basement complete this level. 

Ascending the varnished wood staircase, you are met with two stunning art glass windows at the landing. The second floor has four spacious bedrooms, deep closets and high ceilings, along with a retro-tiled hall bathroom. The third floor presents three additional bedrooms, a bathroom, and an attic storage room, offering ample space for various needs.

An added highlight of the property is the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) at the rear, constructed in the 1980s with a modern flair. This one-bedroom apartment, currently rented, features a living room with a wood-burning stove, ceiling fan, and a sliding glass doors leading to a patio with an arbor. The bedroom boasts a bay window and dual closets, while the kitchen is equipped with a gas range, refrigerator, and dishwasher. Beyond the ADU lies a tranquil rear yard, graced by paper birch and maple trees.

Located just half a block from the Mt. Airy Train Station and within easy reach of the vibrant Mt. Airy and Chestnut Hill business districts, this much-beloved home has been owned by the same family since 1938.  Experience the charm, craftsmanship and sophistication of 107 East Gowen Avenue.
