Nestled in the heart of Ridley Park and located in the Ridley Park Historical District, this 6 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom home offers spacious accommodations that seamlessly blend history with modern living. A wrap-around porch graces the exterior, perfectly framing this stately home on its oversized lot. Boasting a generous layout of 6 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, this residence offers ample space for comfortable living. The Victorian's allure is immediately apparent with its wrap-around porch that invites you to relax and savor the surroundings. The main floor unfolds with an impressive entrance foyer. Gleaming hardwood floors pave the way to a capacious living room adorned with a brick fireplace, infusing warmth and charm. Adjacent to the living room, a formal dining room sets the stage for elegant gatherings. The well-proportioned eat-in kitchen, complete with a pantry, presents a delightful space for culinary creations. The culinary heart of the home showcases a gas cooking setup with a built-in cooktop. High-end appliances grace the kitchen, including a Sub Zero fridge by Viking, a built-in wine fridge, a Fisher and Paykel dishwasher, a GE stove seamlessly integrated into the countertops, and a JennAir microwave. Adding to the home's convenience is a half bathroom thoughtfully situated off the laundry room on the lower level. The laundry room itself, complete with washer and dryer, boasts ample space and is conveniently positioned beyond the kitchen. Journey to the second floor to discover the master bedroom and additional bedroom, each with an ensuite bathroom, as well as two additional bedrooms and a well-appointed hall bathroom. The third floor hosts two generously proportioned additional bedrooms, enhanced by a convenient hall bathroom. The basement of the property features two sump pumps and a thorough waterproofing treatment undertaken in 2020. A comprehensive renovation in 2020 has breathed new life into this historic gem. Updates include newly remodeled windows, a modernized plumbing system, and a transformed HVAC system that has evolved from a traditional radiator setup. Electrical improvements, including hard-wired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, further enhance safety and comfort. In summary, this Victorian gem harmoniously blends classic architectural features with modern comfort. From the wrap-around porch to the generous rooms to the convenience-enhancing layout, this home embodies the spirit of Victorian elegance while catering to contemporary lifestyles. It’s the perfect blend of past and present, offering an unmatched living experience. Property is located in the Ridley Park Historical District which has special rules and regulations.
