Nestled in the heart of Flourtown, this enchanting cottage-style home offers the rare opportunity to enjoy all the charm and prestige of bordering Chestnut Hill without the Philadelphia tax burden. The home's captivating curb appeal has passersby stopping in their tracks to snap photos – and once you see it, you’ll understand why. With its timeless stone facade, rubber "slate" roof, and elegant copper downspouts, this storybook residence feels like it was lifted straight out of a fairytale or a modern-day Pinterest post. The front exterior, swathed in English vines arranged in a delightful criss-cross pattern, welcomes you with a custom-crafted glass front door, made in Lititz, PA, that's sure to be the envy of your guests. Sitting on nearly an acre, this property backs up to the serene Fort Washington Park, offering the perfect backdrop of nature with over 500 acres to explore. Whether it’s hiking, fishing, or simply enjoying a picnic, the outdoor possibilities are endless. Step inside, and you'll be greeted by a large picture window framing private views of mature landscaping, creating an ever-changing artwork of the outdoors. The spacious living room features an exquisite fireplace, a near replica of one found in the State Department, ideal for cozy evenings or grand gatherings. Flow effortlessly into the formal dining room, where your dinner parties will shine, or step outside onto the balcony for al fresco entertaining with breathtaking park views. The charming eat-in kitchen, filled with natural light from skylights and abundant windows, boasts soapstone countertops, a center island, and even a “secret” pantry off the side entry. Two main-floor bedrooms share a hall bath, with the option to combine them into a luxurious main-floor owner’s suite with balcony access. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers a spa-like retreat with an updated en-suite bath featuring a soaking tub and stall shower, while the second bedroom boasts a cedar-lined closet for ample storage. The partially finished walk-out basement provides additional space, perfect for a workshop, storage, or utility room, and includes a recently waterproofed area plus a half-bath for convenience. Flourtown may be the quieter sister to Chestnut Hill, but she shines just as bright – and at a far more affordable price. With quick access to Fairmount and Fort Washington State Parks, Morris Arboretum, quaint shops, bakeries, and fabulous restaurants too. This location is a TEN. And all of this comes without the congestion, parking hassles, or the tax burden of Chestnut Hill. This home is a rare find and a true opportunity to bring your vision to life. Sold in “as is” condition, this is your chance to create new memories in a truly magical setting.
