6700 WISSAHICKON AVE PHILADELPHIA, PA 19119 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

SPRING BANK. A step back to colonial times when the Rittenhouse Family owned hundreds of acres to the Wissahickon Creek, when Edgar Allen Poe walked on the property and wrote "Morning on the Wissahickon", and later when then owner John Welsh entertained international VIP's during the xxxx Centennial. Today, Spring Bank is a stunning home with generous spaces,architectural distinction having been renovated by Frank Furness in the late 19th century, details unique and beautiful, and pleasing 21st century upgrades: top-of-the-line eat in kitchen, all new bathrooms including a master bath with marble finishes, new heating and central air, upgraded electric. Broad open and closed porches overlook the rear grounds. This 3-story stucco and clapboard home sits at the edge of a natural green valley looking toward the Wissahickon. Just 15 minutes to Center City Philadelphia. Wonderful family home!
