Property of the Week - A Country Home in Awbury Arboretum

The Johnson home, a 5 bedroom, 3 full bath single stucco home enjoys a bit of the country in the city, a private enclave of a 19th century extended Quaker family that was intentionally protected by becoming an arboretum open for the public's "quiet enjoyment of nature" in 1916. There are a number of private homes within the Arboretum, and the 55 acre Arboretum itself is an historic district on Philadelphia's List of Historic Places. A non-contributing structure to the district, 6110 Ardleigh Street is on the market for the first time since the house was built.
