This stately residence, originally home to Oscar Blasius, known for producing exquisite pianos in the 19th century, still retains many of its original features, including a carriage stone engraved with the letter B. Set back on lush grounds, this striking Wissahickon schist stone and cedar shake exterior is framed by mature trees, has a large terraced porch, a 2-story turret with roof deck, and a detached former carriage house which now serves as a 2-car garage. Inside, the beautifully restored woodwork, stained glass, and leaded windows highlight the home’s rich character.Enter through a grand foyer, where a stunning staircase welcomes you to explore further.

There's a charming and bright family room to relax and a large formal dining room overlooking the scenic backyard. Off the rear of the home is a cedar deck ideal for entertaining or unwinding.

The main bedroom has a walk-in closet and a sitting room which could be used as a dressing room or home office.
