Property Description
Charmingly nestled in a stunning green residential setting, this handsomely modernized Turn-of-the-Century Home proudly stands ready to serve its next 100+ years! This 'Dutch Colonial' style dwelling, with its welcoming Wrap-around Porch, not only delights- but surprises. Equipped with rare to find Central AC, a fully rewired integrated high-tech electrical and safety-code fire alarm systems; updated plumbing; PLUS, a recently replaced crowning Metal Roof, custom-designed to withstand the tests of time long into the future- rest well knowing your comforts are well-tended. The glorious interior spaces with soaring ceilings and open, light-filled staircases, expansive rooms, plus exciting layouts on each of its three upper levels- create magnificent opportunities for customizing your own living needs and desires. Just refinished for its next owners: original, old-growth hardwood Oak flooring grounds the authentic experience throughout. The level below, with its large work areas, plus fun Rec Room- extends directly out to the expansive, professionally landscaped, lighted, and leveled Back Lawn. The discovery that such a beautiful and private pastoral setting can be combined with the dynamic interplay of a conveniently situated urban location- literally a walkable Regional Rail means just a quick '4 stops' to Center City, or straight onto the Airport without a transfer...means accessible global living AND a private sanctuary can be yours. A breathtaking view of your property stands at the ready, as a fantastic rear covered Deck serves up Al Fresco dining experiences- whatever the weather. Enjoy the adjacent Eat-in Kitchen, beautifully designed for maximum storage, work & utility, and showcasing your treasured dishes. A formal Dining Room graciously opens to the Living Room with a touch-of-the button cozy Fireplace to warm up the cooler days and nights. Whimsical modern and antique lighting fixtures are present throughout. A star of the home must be the 2nd level Solarium- with its stately 'Beech Tree view' through the wrap-around, historic Lupton Steel windows with matching French-styled doors- so romantic, yet also ready for an inspired work setting to ponder life's goals through a healthier perspective. Additional assets are: Ethernet wiring for fast Wifi or remote work (Gigabit fiber internet available), smart Lutron Caseta switches; newly restored 1st level ceilings; a just-completed 3rd level designer Bathroom; and a new Walk-in Closet system to accompany the enticing and generous, freshly painted top floor Suite of rooms. A fourth walk-up Attic level above does lead to even more storage...Located in the lovely, leafy, and tight-knit community of East Oak Lane, where Philadelphia meets Montgomery County- enjoy a quality of life where architecture and trees and the local Library are loved and supported. With fantastic nearby shopping and dining amenities, with accessible parks and trails, and lower City Taxes- this rare jewel of a property offers so much!
