Property Description
Magnificent, graceful, stately elegance depicts the earlier 20th Century period of East Oak Lane's architectural treasures. Introducing through this 6BR, 3.2 B Stone Single: the very best of classic yesteryear with authentic detailing throughout, combining effortlessly with sensitive, modern upgrades (brand new Heater!)- and serving well today's exacting standards. Beyond the gracious front lawn, intricate artisan carpentry crowns a welcoming wrap-around Porch uplifted by its grand Corinthian columns- yet grounded by its recently re-built, stained wood planking- all ready for folks to 'set a spell' in the warmer season ahead. Upon entrance, parquet Oak flooring framed w/ Mahogany inlay sets the stage below; but be sure to gaze upwards to the breathtaking beamed ceilings, and enjoy the arched glass-paneled sliding doors of the Grand Foyer- just astounding. The gorgeous patterns of the wall decor of the formal Dining Room are delicious, and the mottled mirror glass doors of the dish pantry reveal an even prettier inside. Two Mantels: one of original marble, and the other of a Mercer tiled surround- serve as rich focal points. A Window Seat tucked away adds a cozy and whimsical charm to the otherwise expansive Living Room. The Kitchen has been tastefully redone and respects the Home's 100c.-year-old existing character yet... it's super fresh: a brand new fridge, a dual-drawered dishwasher, and fine custom cabinetry have been designed impeccably to best utilize the friendly space, w/ several stations available topped w/Carrera counters to meet the needs of homework, baking, or grabbing a bowl of cereal- plus there's more room available for a dine-in table. First floor Laundry, a Powder Room. and a back Staircase finishes this level. Beckoning from below is the de-lightful 'Speakeasy!' One can only imagine the time and attention a former caretaker took in creating this exciting world. Original and impeccable banquets, an upholstered bar, and vintage tables and chairs combine for 'the-most-fun-space-ever' to celebrate life's events! Another Powder Room completes. A 'brand new' high-efficiency Heater installation in April 2023 for next owner. On the 2nd and 3rd levels, find freshly painted plaster walls, a spacious En Suite Primary, and light-filled spaces to ignite the imagination for varying uses. Crystal glass knobs on dark wood doors w/ transom windows above- mark fabulous entrances and exits. An Artist's space w/ vintage sheet linoleum flooring and a crafts counter sets itself apart from the rest of the honey-hued Pine of the top flooring. Thank Goodness, the original doors of the Wissahickon Schist Garage are beautifully intact- also freshly painted for its next owner. Forget about the car parking (lots of it!)- the richly toned, tongue-in-groove, extra tall ceiling invites use as a secondary exterior social or project space. Is that an old stove in the corner w/ chimney stack? Perhaps 4 Season heating options just expanded...Wonderful backyard space for frolicking and vegetable gardening. Walk to nearby Melrose Park Train Station along a leafy Avenue w/ canopy trees- only 4 stops to Center City, then straight onto the Airport for a global perspective! Amazing shopping, parks, and amenities nearby in adjacent Montgomery County, or travel right up Cheltenham Avenue to storied Chestnut Hill. Enjoy low City real estate taxes; along with a nurturing Community of engaged neighbors!
