If you're looking for a home with character, look no further than this 100-plus-year-old carriage house in Mt. Airy. As solid and sturdy as it looks on the outside — it's made of solid granite — the inner living space is light and airy, thanks to lots of windows and an open floor plan that puts no barriers between the living room, dining room and kitchen.

"It's very light, lots of big windows, sun coming in," commented listing agent Ingrid Brown.
The heart of the home is, of course, the heart: in this case, a stone, wood-burning fireplace. Once you're done lounging in front of the fire, scurry up the nearby spiral staircase. There you'll find an upper level with an office, a small play space and a cupola that serves as the perfect little hideaway spot.
The backyard is also a haven in the city, with a flagstone patio, a gazebo and even a pond with a bubbling fountain. In the spring, the award-winning perennial garden blooms into life.
Even in an area full of historic treasures like Mt. Airy, a converted carriage house is a rare find. This mighty granite home in the 7300 block of Sprague St. will easily stand for a hundred years more.
