Adjacent, the dining room opens offers a large bay window and ample space for entertaining. The completely renovated, generous kitchen and pantry have high ceilings, abundant cabinetry, contemporary appliances, and an alcove with a washer and dryer. A powder room completes the main level. Step outside to the rear garden and be amazed. A canopy of incredible Japanese maples immediately surrounds you.

The third floor features two tidy bedrooms, a full bathroom with a tub, and ample dry storage. The semi-finished lower level, with direct exterior access to the rear of the property, is ideal for a workshop, crafting, yoga, or play. 525 Arbutus has it all. Recent renovations include updated insulation, air conditioning and heating systems, contemporary windows, new wiring, full kitchen, and primary suite. The highly sought-after West Mount Airy Village location, enveloped by the lush landscape of the Wissahickon Valley, provides easy access to the footpaths of both the Big and Little Woods.
