No detail has been missed in this spacious 3063 square foot 5 bedroom, 2 full and 2 half bath home. Step off the sidewalk into the gated entrance and onto the welcoming front porch with an adorable porch swing, perfect for relaxing with a cup of coffee or an evening cocktail. A foyer with beautiful double glass-paned doors welcomes you inside the home where you will be wowed by the charm and character of the original details that make this home so special; wide-plank hardwood flooring, 10’ ceilings, crown molding, large baseboards, beautiful woodworking, and so much more. To the left of the foyer area is a large living room with lots of space to spread out, built-in storage, and loads of sunshine thanks to the 4 large windows in the room. Down the hall from the foyer is a magazine-worthy eat-in kitchen outfitted with beautiful and timeless classic white soft-close custom cabinetry, Carerra-marble countertops that will be the envy of all of your visitors, a subway tile backsplash, a porcelain farmhouse-style sink, a slide-in Viking gas range, Bosch dishwasher, GE Café refrigerator, counter and bench seating, and stylish lighting fixtures. If you need a lot of storage space, then this is definitely the kitchen for you. You will see that no detail or expense has been spared in this amazing space. Adjacent to the kitchen is a convenient and cute-as-a-button powder room, and just beyond the kitchen is an equally stylish and functional mudroom. Who knew a mudroom could be this pretty? This one offers radiant-heat flooring, a beverage bar area with a beverage refrigerator, more bench seating, tons of storage, and a desk area with a window and a view of the deck area and the backyard area of the home. It’s perfect for a work-from-home or homeschooling area. Again, no detail or expense was spared in this space. The mudroom has two entrances; one from a side door and one giving access to the deck area. The two upper levels of the home offer 5 large and relaxing bedrooms with plenty of closet space and 2 full bathrooms. Use the bedrooms as-is or convert them into areas to suit your needs and lifestyle. Perhaps a home office, study, den, or even a fitness area. Now, let’s talk about the outdoor space this home has to offer. If you’re looking for a home with a lot of outdoor space, then you are not going to want to let this home pass you by. Currently, there is a deck, a large, enclosed stone patio area, a shed, and parking for countless cars. Want a garden , a fire-pit area, a bocce ball court, or a basketball court? This home has the space to do any combination of those things, and still offer an abundance of off-street parking. All of the everyday conveniences you could need are within 5 minutes of this home; the grocery store, pharmacy, dry-cleaner, library, gym, and so much more. Maybe you’re a foodie? You won’t be able to get enough of all of the incredible dining options just minutes away in Roxborough and nearby Manayunk, Conshohocken, Chestnut Hill, and Lafayette Hill, some are even within walking distance to the house (we see you T&F Farmer’s Pride and Maria’s on Summit)! Are you a nature lover? This home is also located within walking distance to the Upper Roxborough Reservoir Preserve, the Wissahickon Trails, and The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education. Need to be in Center City Philadelphia for work or pleasure? It’s only a quick 15-minute drive or a short train ride away via one of the several conveniently located train stations. In a nutshell, this home has it all and then some. Make your appointment to see it today!
