A rare opportunity to live in Far Country Arboretum, an historic estate nestled into the woods bordering the park along the Wissahickon Creek. This majestic Georgian Colonial mansion divided into 2 distinct homes with an elegant circular driveway has a fresh open floor plan with original architectural details including a formal entry hall with spectacular 3 story staircase, Mercer tiled fireplaces and a library with leaded glass bookcases. The custom built kitchen has birds-eye maple cabinets and windows on 3 sides looking into the woods and a beautiful flagstone patio. The 6 light filled bedrooms have views over 1.3 acres of lawns, gardens, mature specimen trees and an heirloom apple orchard. All mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems were totally replaced when the estate was restored in the late 1990~~~s. Unsurpassed in privacy and tranquility, it is only 20 minutes away from center city by car, 45 by bike. This is a special home that offers a unique combination of a country setting within the city.
