Description

Situated on a private and beautifully landscaped 1.26-acre parcel, this distinguished residence offers 3,428 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Originally constructed as a custom builder’s primary home, the property reflects enduring craftsmanship and architectural integrity, enhanced by an extensive and meticulous renovation program. The exterior improvements are comprehensive and of the highest quality, including the installation of a Vermont slate roof with snow guards and new flashing, a rubber roof on flat sections, asphalt roofing on low-pitch areas, new gutters and downspouts with integrated leaf guards, replacement and repointing of the chimney cap, custom cedar fencing with gated access, new concrete sidewalks, a new copper water service line from the street, a resurfaced driveway with partial Belgian block curbing, new exterior lighting fixtures, and complete exterior repainting. A propane-fired whole-house generator with full connections provides additional peace of mind. Interior enhancements include fully sanded and refinished hardwood floors throughout, complete interior repainting in neutral tones, the installation of two new primary air-conditioning systems, a split heating and cooling system serving the fifth bedroom and garage, and a whole-house dehumidification system. The renovated kitchen features new countertops and sink, redesigned ceiling beams, a custom walnut mantel divider top, and refurbished cabinetry with updated hardware. The first floor offers a gracious living room with stone fireplace, a formal entrance hall highlighted by an elegant curved staircase, and a generously proportioned dining room. The kitchen is both distinctive and inviting, incorporating a dedicated seating area with brick fireplace. A well-appointed den with built-in cabinetry and a shared brick fireplace overlooks the private rear grounds and provides access to a light-filled sunroom. A secondary staircase adjacent to the kitchen leads to a private fifth bedroom with ensuite bath, well suited for guests or extended family. Two powder rooms complete the main level. A secondary front entrance with a private patio offers convenient access to the kitchen, back staircase, and attached garage. The second floor comprises five bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite with ensuite bath. Additional bedrooms are arranged to provide flexibility of use, with select rooms suitable for paired bedroom and sitting room configurations or private home offices, and accessible via both the main and secondary staircases. The basement level features notably high ceilings, a finished area with new flooring, a stone fireplace, ample storage areas, and exterior access via basement stairs. Pull-down attic stairs lead to a large floored attic offering additional storage. Throughout the residence, updated lighting, custom window treatments, and cohesive neutral finishes enhance the home’s refined character. Ideally located just minutes from Amtrak service (approximately 60 minutes to Moynihan Train Hall in New York City), SEPTA rail service to Philadelphia, and Interstate 95, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a residence of architectural distinction, modern functionality, and outstanding accessibility.
