Early 20th Century Elegance in beautiful Mount Airy home. It's a large spacious 6 BR, 2½ b, Victorian architectural style twin boasting a beautiful stone front and brick sides. This jewel stands high off the street so you can sit on the expansive front porch and watch people walk by with their baby carriages or take a pet on a relief walk.

A huge 2nd fl Main BR features a large bay window overlooking the street with a romantic brick fireplace with wood trim. A large dry basement can store a lot of “stuff”.
