6915 Clearview St, Philadelphia, PA 19119

A rare offering, this Ashton S. Tourison Sr. detached Colonial is being offered for sale for only the 3rd time since its construction circa 1925 & was previously owned by Tourison's daughter. Located on sought after, sycamore tree lined Clearview Street, where homes rarely become available, in the historic Sedgwick Farms section of always desirable Mt. Airy, this residence is part of 1 of Philadelphia's most significant planned residential communities. Born in Mt. Airy, Ashton S. Tourison Sr. (18511944) purchased 125 acres in 1904 & together w/ his 4 sons formed the Ye Sedgwick Farms Company in 1908 to create what would become 1 of Philadelphia's finest planned residential neighborhoods, Sedgwick Farms. Tourison's philosophy was to build "stone built homes, planned on an architectural idea that makes each different from the other, yet in perfect harmony with all," a vision that continues to define Sedgwick Farms more than a century later. Today, this beautifully preserved Colonial offers a rare opportunity to own a Tourison & a piece of Mt. Airy's architectural history while enjoying the timeless character, craftsmanship, & enduring appeal that have made Sedgwick Farms 1 of Philadelphia's most desirable neighborhoods. Consistent w/ Tourison's vision for Sedgwick Farms & his homes, this property prioritizes the home, mature landscape, & usable indoor & outdoor space rather than oversized driveways & garages. This home has it all: character, charm, period details, & modern amen
