6600 Wissachickon Avenue in the West Mount Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a home designed by famed gilded age architect, Horace Trumbauer for textile magnate, Joseph Wasserman. The Trumbauer-Wasserman house (1909) is one of the few remaining homes with preserved original details in this country designed by Trumbauer, who is best known for his design of the Philadelphia Art Museum. This truly special home is situated on just under 1.3 acres of land, located steps from Wissahickon Valley Park and offers over 8,000 square feet of beautifully crafted living space, including seven bedrooms and five bathrooms plus an on-site freestanding carriage house. This home features a main floor designed by Trumbauer as the ultimate entertainment space with an extraordinary reception room, dining room with hidden cabinets in its wooden paneling, two accessible outdoor entertaining spaces, an intimate sitting room, formal living room, and spacious kitchen with a large pantry. Notably, the formal living room features floor-to-ceiling original book-matched English walnut paneling that was handcrafted in London, later shipped to the United States, and delicately reassembled in the home, accented by the original green marble fireplace. There are six original fireplaces inside the home and one outdoor fireplace for the rear patio space. The kitchen has been sensitively modernized with custom cabinetry, including a subway-tile backsplash accented by a handcrafted mosaic tile, seamlessly built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, checkered marble floors, a stunning Lacanche range, handmade and imported from France, plus an oversized island and a large pantry. The second floor features four bedrooms, including a primary suite with gorgeous original fireplace, a vintage wall safe, two walk-in closets, a fully renovated bathroom with a focus on period-appropriate details and a dressing room with another stunning, original fireplace. A traditional sleeping porch is located adjacent to the primary suite. There is also a spacious den on the second floor that could comfortably function as a bedroom space if desired. The third floor features a casual living space, two bedrooms, another full-size bathroom with a refinished clawfoot tub and a stunning built-in wardrobe area. The Wasserman family were in the textile business and this handcrafted wardrobe space was likely an area used to carefully store the familys personal collection of household textiles. Outside, there is a large carriage house with fully functional one-bedroom apartment space and a four-car garage for your vehicles. The main house is surrounded by the beautiful evolution of a French-inspired garden including multiple outdoor living spaces and two mature Japanese maple trees that thoughtfully define the main entrance to this remarkable home. This home is a truly stunning piece of American history that you likely wont find again. ***This home is located less than 10 miles away from Center City Philadelphia and the Amtrak to New York City and less than 15 miles from the Philadelphia International Airport for easy travel to any destination. ***
