Welcome to High Acres, the historic Nichols Goehring House at 6625 Lincoln Drive, where life feels removed from the pace of the city while remaining distinctly connected to Philadelphia. Set high above Lincoln Drive on approximately one acre of mature, park-like grounds, this remarkable Colonial Revival residence offers a rare sense of privacy, presence and arrival. Pass between the stone gateposts, follow the gently curving drive and watch the home gradually reveal itself beyond the landscape. It feels less like pulling up to a property and more like arriving at a private estate. Originally conceived in 1902 and substantially expanded in 1921, the home carries more than a century of Philadelphia history. Its architecture combines the formality of a grand residence with the warmth of a home that evolved over time. Flemish bond red brick, a broad cornice, distinctive dormers, multi-pane windows, shutters and an entrance framed by sidelights and an elliptical fanlight create an exterior with enduring character. The residence is recognized on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places as a significant example of Colonial Revival architecture. The experience begins outdoors. Elevated terraces and mature plantings create a green buffer from the road, giving the property a quiet, sheltered quality throughout the seasons. Begin the morning with coffee overlooking the grounds, spend the afternoon gardening or reading in the shade, and gather for dinner on the brick patio. The expansive setting offers room to entertain while retaining a sense of intimacy. In autumn, the changing canopy frames the red brick facade. In winter, the architecture takes center stage. During spring and summer, the grounds become a private green retreat. Inside, the home’s scale and historic composition support many ways of living. A center hall creates a graceful sense of arrival and a natural progression between rooms. Generous windows bring daylight inside and provide changing views of the landscape. A projecting bay window adds depth and character, while the extended porch wing, with abundant multi-lite windows and two rooms, creates an appealing connection between indoors and out. Envision a sun-filled sitting room, quiet library, inspiring studio or a place for long dinners surrounded by views of the grounds. These are rooms meant not only to be admired, but to become part of everyday life. The home’s layered history gives it an authenticity that cannot be replicated by new construction. The original 1902 residence was enlarged through subsequent additions, including a major 1921 expansion that helped create its present form. The result is an architecturally distinctive home with both formal and relaxed spaces, equally suited to quiet evenings, holidays and larger celebrations. A detached Colonial Revival garage and shop complement the residence and echo its patterned brickwork, providing useful space with architectural integrity. Iron gates, garden walls, established trees and period details reinforce the feeling of a complete estate in which the home, grounds and accessory building share one story. Living at 6625 Lincoln Drive means enjoying one of Northwest Philadelphia’s memorable historic homes along with the beauty and character of Mt. Airy and Germantown. Lincoln Drive provides a scenic connection to the city, while nearby green spaces and the rich architectural landscape make the setting feel both established and alive. High Acres is more than an address. It is the experience of arriving through your own gates, waking to mature greenery, hosting friends in rooms with genuine history and becoming the next steward of a Philadelphia landmark. For the buyer who values architecture, privacy, landscape and a strong sense of place, 6625 Lincoln Drive presents an increasingly rare opportunity.

This property makes sense as a long-term investment: with substantial system upgrades and a location that offers the things people love about living in Northwest Philadelphia.

Beyond the kitchen, a convenient laundry area with new raised front-loading appliances leads to a mudroom/pantry area that makes the practical parts of everyday life a lot easier. And then there’s the backyard! A new 12' x 14' composite deck, mature trees, and newly installed vinyl fencing create a private, leafy retreat that feels like a little bonus in the middle of the city. This is exactly the kind of feature that people look forward to when moving to Mount Airy. The sellers have also made a substantial investment in the things you don’t always notice in the photos. The front sidewalk and stairs were replaced in 2022, and the enclosed front porch—also added in 2022—creates a charming entry and useful landing area. All new black Renewal by Andersen exterior windows and a new roof installed in December 2022 bring additional peace of mind. A new boiler was installed in 2023, and the electrical panel has been replaced as well. Upstairs, the bedrooms are comfortable and flexible.

The back bedroom is currently used as an office and features clever storage, built-in shelving, and fun, colorful paint. The full bathroom is another little moment of joy, with a colorful, post-modern sensibility, a tub/shower combo, and a large window that makes the space feel bright and expansive. New recessed lighting in the hallway adds even more light upstairs. And the location? It’s hard to beat. You’ll be close to the neighborhood’s growing food scene, including Downtime Bakery, Doho, Adelie Coffee, Zsa's Ice Cream, and the Grocery Outlet. There is a local community-minded spirit that makes Mount Airy special, unlike anywhere else in the world, and the largest urban park on the east coast, the woods of Wissahickon Park, is just ten minutes away. With easy access to Center City and the amenities of Northwest Philadelphia, this is a place where you can enjoy the best of city living without giving up the pleasures of a real neighborhood. Showings begin September 8. Make sure you get a chance to see it in person!
