6200 Wissahickon Avenue

Are you ready for a verdant oasis in Northwest Philly? Then step into 6200 Wissahickon Ave., a 4 bed, 1.5 bath Germantown Dutch Colonial that has both space and place in the one and only Blue Bell Hill neighborhood. This charming Paper Mill home c 1860 is perfectly situated in natural surroundings: it's between Clifford and Blue Bell parks, has a massive backyard, and you can literally walk out your door and hike in the Wissahickon Valley Park! The cozy factor is off the charts with its farm house style, wood-burning stove, wide windowsills, warm oak floors, and converted attic. There's also charming details throughout like porthole windows, wainscoting, built-in bookcases, stained glass details, and skylights. Enter the house through the front room, which has a large bay window overlooking the park, and pass the stairs into the spacious dining room. Walk through a dutch door to the kitchen and rear living room. The living room has that wood-burning stove, a half bath, large closet, and double sliding glass doors that look out onto a peaceful patio and yard. The second floor has a primary bedroom with a deep closet, as well as two additional bedrooms, and a full 3-piece bath. The third floor converted attic is a standout in the house and could be used as a bedroom or a studio/office space. It has its own stairwell, exposed beams, a peaked roof and multiple skylights. The walk out basement houses the laundry and plenty of shelves for storage, and did I mention the central air? The location could not be beat: the yard is fenced-in with a flagstone patio and plenty of space for landscaping and garden beds. It's walkable to the Tulpehocken train station, the Wissahickon, and neighborhood faves like Ultimo Coffee, Salam's Cafe, and Space & Grace Yoga. It's just a short drive to Weaver's Way Coop, Attic Brewing, Downtime Bakery, Awbury Arboretum and more, plus you can be in Center City in 25 minutes. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Northwest history in the sought-after neighborhood of Blue Bell Hill! Make your appointment today!
