Property Description
This one of a kind carriage home is a rare find! Nestled among the sounds of nature and surrounded by lovely garden flowers, you will love the house before you even enter. The front porch extends the entire width of the home and the original front door gives a small inkling of the character of what you will find once you walk inside. As soon as you cross the threshold, you will say, "this is mine?just what I've been waiting for!" The wide open floor plan, bathed in natural light, welcomes you to a huge, yet cozy Great Room with radiant heated floors, and a double sided fireplace accented with a stone hearth. Stepping up into the dining room, you will appreciate the beautiful wood beams over this generously sized area, and the large picture window; then turning to the spacious kitchen, your mind might imagine whipping up a quick meal or cooking for an evening of entertaining. It is difficult to define the second floor without asking if you would derive pleasure from letting the stars 'wink' you to sleep. The skylight, over the main bedroom, does just that, giving perhaps, a little glimpse of heaven. The second bedroom, sizeable bathroom and an area you can use for an office, sitting area or something else imaginative, completes the living space on this level of the home. Check the 'hidden' areas upstairs too; you will be surprise at the closet and storage space! If you are looking for a gardener's delight, the stars at night or just a peaceful setting at the end of your day, this is the home for you. The owner's care of this home will be apparent. New roof & gutters in 2008, new HW heater, new kitchen and dining room floors and all new appliances in 2012. PECO ran all new gas lines to the property in May of 2015. Although public records date the house to 1910, it is thought that the original structure dates back to the late 1800's. The home, as you will see it, underwent its current transformation in the 1960's. Community life features a one block walk to the train a summer Farmer's market and the amenities of Glenside, including great restaurants, seasonal parades and the Keswick Theater.
