What a tremendous opportunity to own this historic stately Drexel Hill home! You will be immediately charmed by the classic architecture of this traditional center-hall colonial located on a large corner lot. The mature landscaping and flower beds invitingly welcome you up the steps to the front porch. Notice the gorgeous slate roof, which has been meticulously maintained. Enter through the front door to the grand foyer with its dramatic staircase, large coat closet, beautiful hardwood flooring and handsome millwork and trim throughout. The living room, to your right, is a booklovers dream with its built-in bookcases, cozy stone fireplace, bright windows with deep sills and a double set of french doors leading to the screened porch. Open these doors to allow for a wonderful flow for entertaining, large enough for dining. It is also the perfect spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or glass of wine in the evening. To the left is the formal sunny dining room with built-in display shelving. From the dining room you have access to the comfortable family room with a wood-burning stove and to the spacious eat-in kitchen. A mudroom, with access to the yard is off the kitchen, along with a new powder room. A washer and dryer are located in this space as well. A back staircase from the kitchen leads upstairs.
On the second floor, to your right, is the primary suite with an ensuite bath with a tub and shower. Three other generously sized rooms and closets, a linen closet and a large hall bath with a tub are also located on this floor. The third floor boasts two more bedrooms with another hall bath. The current owner is presently using one of these rooms as a private office.
The unfinished basement, with access to the backyard, has ample space for storage and/or workout equipment/weights. A three car detached garage is an added bonus to this home.
Recent updates include installation of central air for the entire home, all new windows, replacement of knob and tube wiring with a 200 amp panel and freshly painted throughout.
You will be within walking distance to many schools within the area and convenient to public transportation, shopping, restaurants and major commuting routes, including Rtes 1 and 3 and I-476.
