Welcome to "Dunning House" at 630 W Allens Lane, an outstanding Colonial Revival residence circa 1890 designed by noted Philadelphia architect, Frank Miles Day. Perched on a hill, beautifully sited on over an acre, with a circular driveway, this home is striking. Enter the front door to a grand foyer complete with fireplace and beautiful staircase with rich woodwork and windows. On the first floor, there is a formal dining room, butlers pantry, breakfast room, and newly renovated kitchen to the left. To the right, walk through the large living room, with access to the covered side patio and find a study complete with built in bookcases. On the second level, there is the main bedroom suite, plus three additional bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a sleeping porch. The third floor hosts an office and oversized bedroom or family room, full bathroom, plus large cedar closet. The rooms are all generously sized and beds and baths are ready for the next owner to come in and personalize. The grounds are a blank slate, add a pool, swing set, or vegetable garden. You have plenty of room. The large detached two car garage includes unfinished living space above. The timeless details of this home, located right on the Mount Airy/Chestnut Hill border are primed for the next owner to shine it up and make it their own. With Allens Lane Art Center, tennis courts and playground across the street, short walk to Weavers Way, Highpoint Cafe and Carpenter's Woods; easy access to downtown Philadelphia, this location is classic Northwest Philadelphia.
