This is a special home! This 3-story home in Pennside is loaded with charm and character and the owners have done a tremendous job at maintaining its historic essence and condition. You can't help but be struck by the curb appeal as you pull up to this one. The gorgeous gardens in the front are just the start. Very cute front porch that leads you into the home through striking stained glass front doors. Huge open living room and dining room that are both very bright and welcoming. One of the best surprises about this home is the family room addition. This room is spacious and bright and includes a gas fireplace plus tile floor and built-ins. Just a very cozy room. There is an exit to the side yard from this room. More lush gardens! (honestly the gardens and plantings on this property are really impressive!) There is a fenced area for extra safety for pets , etc. The kitchen is spacious with plenty of work space and includes 42" high cabinets, an island, tile floor and tile backsplash. And yes, a trash compactor.. Right off the kitchen is a super convenient powder room plus a large room dedicated as a pantry. A very nice layout overall. There are two more floors of living space. The 2nd floor is essentially a complete owner's suite. A very nice bedroom, plus an enormous en suite bathroom with tile floor and gorgeous tile shower and a bidet. Loads of closet space! The laundry is located on this level for your convenience. There is another room dedicated exclusively to a huge dressing room closet. A very practical yet cozy layout. The 3rd floor has two more bedrooms that are also spacious and bright. There is a split unit heat pump/A-C on this level to maintain comfortability. You are going to love this home! But that really is just a piece of it. This home sits on a large lot on a really quiet side street but is close to everything. The yards and gardens are a true hidden oasis. It starts with a covered side porch that leads to a two-tiered deck with sun sail. The rear areas of this home are the ultimate place to relax in privacy or entertain for hours. What is that sound you hear? There is a babbling brook that runs through the property that is really relaxing to listen to. In addition, there is a very stable bridge that goes across the creek and leads to another huge section of the yard. Again, another outdoor space where you can relax by the fire pit for hours or entertain with family and friends. Full basement, water softener, two gas furnaces, and ADT security system (If wanted) I can't stress enough what a true sanctuary this entire property is! There is also a large outbuilding/garage that can be utilized for myriad uses. Currently there is an alley to access the rear of the property. You will love every aspect of this home! From the gorgeous interior colors and features to the Sanctuary-Like gardens, decks, and yard. Come and enjoy this home as it is truly a one-of-a-kind if I've ever seen one. 1-yr Warranty included with acceptable offer.
