Welcome to a magnificent and commanding 3 story, stone colonial which took years to complete and was finished in 1938. This home was built by true craftsman, using the finest of materials available. Every aspect of this work of art was carefully considered. The locally quarried Pennsylvania field stone, custom milled exposed beams & unrivaled architectural details all come together and present an incredible finished product. As you ascend from the grand entrance, you are drenched in natural lighting from the eastern facing tailored windows on the turned staircase. There is exceptional woodwork at every turn, original pocket doors still operating, period wainscoting and hardwood flooring throughout, There is a great entertaining floor plan on the main level with parlor, formal living room with exposed beams, dining room, kitchen and breakfast room. Off the living room, there is a covered, screened porch to enjoy the outdoors. Kitchen has custom built in cabinetry, Sub-Zero fridge, plenty of natural lighting and is the heart of the home. Right outside the kitchen is a spacious rear deck overlooking the grounds. The yard has plenty of natural seclusion with mature landscaping and beautiful trees. The second floor has 4 large bedrooms and 2 full baths. Each room appointed with plenty of storage, large windows and hardwood flooring. The 3rd floor has 2 large bedrooms, bathroom with claw-foot tub and upper level recreation room. The third floor Can function as the perfect Au-Pair or In-Law suite! So many updates, upgrades and exceptional restorations. The basement has plenty of spaces for all facets of a growing family. Ideally located a short distance to Septa's regional rail line where there are 2 train stops within a short distance, access to the city, all the major arteries and shopping. Short distance to over 7 different hospitals, several hiking and walking trails, parks and more. You just can't get beat the value for the dollar. It would cost 3X the asking price to try and recreate this architectural marvel.
