Step into this beautifully renovated Dutch Colonial home, where classic charm harmonizes with contemporary elegance. Situated in the tranquil East Mount Airy neighborhood, this architectural gem offers three stories of meticulously updated space, featuring 5 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. Upon stepping onto the European-tiled front porch extending the length of the house, the ambient glow of custom designer lighting envelops the exterior, setting the tone for the home's inviting ambiance.
