About this home
Set behind a lush, beautifully layered garden, 520 E Allens Lane in Mt. Airy is a distinctive stone-and-brick Tudor that pairs timeless architectural character with thoughtful, comprehensive updates and a wonderfully comfortable way of living. A well-maintained slate style roof, handsome masonry with recent pointing, leaded and newer multi-pane windows and classic Tudor detailing create a memorable first impression. The home is set off by a garden of mature plantings, azaleas and flowering perennials surrounding an intimate stone seating area, creating a peaceful place to relax or entertain. Together with the home's storybook Tudor exterior, it provides the property with a sense of privacy and character that is increasingly difficult to find.
Inside, the home is filled with warmth and personality. Original hardwood floors, generously proportioned rooms and abundant natural light speak to the craftsmanship of an earlier era, while carefully chosen improvements complement rather than compete with the home's character. The main living spaces feel inviting and established, with the fireplace and architectural details providing a natural focal point and abundant windows bringing the surrounding greenery indoors.
The kitchen offers a more contemporary counterpoint, with warm wood cabinetry, sleek countertops, a tiled backsplash and an extended breakfast bar that creates an easy gathering place. A charming adjoining dining nook surrounded by windows provides space for everyday meals, morning coffee or conversation overlooking additional green space.
Upstairs, the bedrooms continue the home's sense of space and character. The generously sized primary bedroom offers room for both sleeping and sitting areas and is complemented by a beautifully renovated private bath with a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, distinctive tilework and modern finishes. Additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests or a dedicated home office, while another updated full bath features a tiled tub and shower. Convenient second-floor laundry is thoughtfully incorporated just outside the bath.
Beyond its aesthetic charm, this home offers genuine peace of mind: the electrical system has been fully rewired, replacing all original knob-and-tube wiring, and heating and hot water are now handled by an efficient, modern tankless combi-boiler system — replacing the home's original furnace and water heater. The flat and rear shingle roofing has also been fully replaced. Paired with the recent window replacements, these updates mean a new owner can move in without facing the major systems repairs so common in homes of this era.
Throughout the home, updates have been made with an eye toward preserving what makes the property special. Modernized baths, an updated kitchen, contemporary lighting and fixtures, and fully modernized mechanical systems coexist with hardwood floors, substantial trim, original architectural elements and the wonderful irregularities and details that give an older home its soul.
This charming Mt. Airy home is ideally located near neighborhood parks, regional rail, markets and restaurants, with quick access to major commuter roads....
