Property Description
Here's a place w/ all the "I Want's". SOMETHING SPECIAL! ARCHITECTURALLY PLEASING in every way! You will really appreciate this spacious, 3BR, 2 BA Lansdowne corner twin, circa 1920, sitting pretty with lots of lovely landscaping and hardscaping. It literally takes up a half block on Eldon Avenue!Some interesting amenities: crystal door knobs, vinyl siding and dimensional roof (2010-11), many lights on dimmer switches and hardwood flooring w/ walnut ribbon inlay. The exterior features blonde brick, white siding, stone foundation and retaining walls, black shutters, vinyl fencing, slate paving and stone steps. The stone wall that runs the length of the side of the house looms over bushes and colorful seasonal plantings that are nicely manicured with scalloped trim. So pretty! As you come up the front stone steps w/black vinyl railing, you can enter #216 via the steel door w/lead glass insert into the cozy, enclosed, heated porch/den w/ a 4-paneled window. Stained French doors open to the spacious LR, complete with a "faux", corner, brick fireplace w/stained mantle. There is yet another door to the outside here in the LR. The wide archway leads to the DR,which features a wall AC just under another 4-paneled window. It cools off the entire first floor! There are hardwoods w/inlay here too! The work area part of the kitchen boasts lots of oak cabinetry, a gas stove and a built-in, GE microwave and dishwasher. The stainless steel fridge sits in the mudroom and is easy to get to. The steel door opens to the back.The sunny breakfast room w/ CF is perfect for mealtime! Plenty of room here. On the 2nd floor you'll find 3 good-sized bedrooms and a full hall bath. The sunshine flows into all the bedrooms, and they all have good closets, a CF and a new window AC. The hall bath comes with gold and white tile work and a picture frame mirror over the vanity sink.The lower level has been well planned with nicely laid out tile work, and features lots and lots of big closets for storage as well as recessed lighting . In the utility area is an American Standard gas heater as well as a Bradford White hot water heater. The laundry area sits up off the floor. There is a GE washer and dryer here and a laundry tub. All the basement windows sit up high and have deep sills. The second full bath boasts neutral tile half way up the wall, on the floor an on the ceiling of the shower enclosure. There is a while pedivan w/a 4-light bar overhead. The exit door takes you out an attached storage shed and to the single garage with newer door. You can get to the adorable flagstone patio w/ vinyl fencing for privacy from here.There are garden boxes that sit on the side of the house. A shade tree hovers over the front of the house to keep it cool. Historic Lansdowne has been designated as one of PA's "Classic Towns"! ... so many things to love in and around this "Main Street" town... the open air Farmer's Market, concerts by the Lansdowne Symphony Orchestra, coffee shops, a bakery, eateries and restaurants, ...and good shopping too. It's always great to shop local! The Arts play a very big part in this town. Be sure to check out the extensive restorations going on at the Lansdowne Theater. The annual Arts Festival is widely known. The Christmas tree lighting and the 4th of July festivities and fireworks are never a disappointment. There's a Swim Club you can join, and don't forget the Library and activities at the 20th Century Club. It is so easy to get into Center City and University City via one of TWO nearby train stations,and you can catch the bus (the 107) right outside your door...how convenient! Actually the trolley line in nearby DH is another alternative. It's a quick trip to the airport as well! Parks, playgrounds and schools are in walking distance. The seller has offered a FREE Home Warranty! ...a nice bonus! MAKE THIS ONE YOURS! It's quite the BUDGET BALANCER! Your friends will be jealous!
