"Magical" sums up this rare find in the City of Philadelphia yet set into the wilderness of the lush wooded 147 acres of Morris Park, part of the Fairmount Park system featuring Indian and Cobbs Creek! Influenced by the City Beautiful Movement, developers McWilliams and Meloney (1920s) envisioned well-crafted English Cottage style residences on tree-lined streets close to Center City yet evocative of an intimate village ambience. Handsomely constructed of Wissahickon Schist, brick and slate, this Arts & Crafts residence at 6626 Morris Park is nestled right into the park with trails off your front porch. The interior is enchanting with handsome satin finished hardwood floors, deep window sills, incredible architectural details and built-ins throughout. The Main floor offers a spacious Aesthetics Movement inspired Living Room with prominent fireplace, fine wrought iron staircase, built-in book case & side lights. The Dining Room with its European Chandelier bespeaks a slower lifestyle of refinement. Open to the Kitchen, there is attractive cabinetry, embossed wallpaper and tiny tea/coffee nook. The magic intensifies when the French doors open from the Dining Room to the Great Room with its 13 foot ceilings, spectacularly carved oak panels with elaborate corbels and marble floors. Salvaged from a Victorian Estate, this is one of the showcase spaces in the region. French Doors open to a brick walled and marble floor private Patio Area with access to a rear yard. A rustic Bedroom and full Bath lie off the Great Room. The Second Floor offers a magnificent Master Bedroom with amazing architectural details, a Library/Bedroom with bookcases and access to Garden Deck, waiting to be finished. A Third Bedroom and recently finished Full Bath finish this floor. The Basement offers a Saloon Area, Laundry, Utilities and rear ally access with parking. Conveniently located to Center City, the Main-line & major routes 1, 3, 30 & 76. Stroll past nationally registered residences to the R-5 train line at Overbrook station or local trolley stops. Once owned by famed violinist David Madison, this remarkable property awaits a new visionary to appreciate its charms and continue its legacy.
