Welcome to 1185 Fort Washington Ave, Circa 1798; This incredibly charming Log and Stone 4 Bedroom, 2.5 Bath Home nestled on 1.7 stunning acres set in desirable Fort Washington is steeped in history yet meticulously maintained & thoughtfully upgraded with all of the conveniences for today's most discerning buyers. This special home's charm & character of yesteryear just can't be duplicated today: rich random width pine floors, wood beamed ceilings, gorgeous custom stone fireplaces complete with exquisite Moravian and Mercer tile work, extensive wood work/trim detail, endless built-ins, original latched doors & deep window sills are a few such examples. This property also boasts a charming garage apartment with separate entrance! The main home itself features an updated kitchen with breakfast bar, modern appliances and a separate Breakfast room. Through the Breakfast Room, you will find an oversized Butler's Pantry Room providing tons of additional storage, as well as a separate Mud Room.

In general, it boasts tons of closets and storage spaces (which is not always easy to find in an old home), lots of windows and natural light, as well as updated electric, plumbing, updated mechanicals and more. Although this home does not currently have Central Air installed, most of the rooms were fitted with ductwork making it easy and much less expensive to finish the job.
