Solid Mid-century construction, totally updated to reflect the latest in design and comfort. The simple style of the exterior conceals the design adventure awaiting you inside. Enter into the Foyer with Front Hall Closet and attached Powder Room, which has been completely updated. Hardwood floors on main floor and second floor have all been refinished. Next, move to the Living room with gas fireplace, and sleek mantle, and pass through to the elegant Dining room space. All lighting has been tastefully updated. Now, let your gaze move to the completely new Kitchen, with Center Island, all new cabinets and stainless steel, smart appliances. The granite is stunning, with the pattern continued into the backsplash. Not a single detail has been neglected. The large windows have deep sills for plants or books. Another charming detail is a small nook that would make a great coffee bar. There is even a desk area for your computer or kid s homework area. Upstairs you will find a spacious Master Bedroom, with en suite. The Master bath is all new, with glass and tile shower, water saver toilet and new vanity and sink. Three closets complete the room. On this level there are two additional bedrooms and a hall bath. The hall bathroom has new floor and vanity, new water saving toilet, new faucets and shower head, and refinished bathtub. In tribute to its mid-century roots, the seller has preserved the original wall tiles. Moving to the Lower Level, you enter the Family Room or perhaps the Man Cave, with new carpeting and flooring. This is the place to enjoy a Sunday ball game or video game tournament. It is set up for serious entertaining, with a wine tasting room, a wet bar, and a powder room. Also on this level is a large laundry room with utility sink. Exit onto the patio and spacious back yard, with small stone retaining wall and stairway to the large second story deck. This house has been finished to provide every comfort. Located just outside Chestnut Hill, Wyndmoor is a charming area, with excellent schools in Springfield Township School District, seeing new growth with walkable neighborhoods and newly developed shops and restaurants. This is the new home you are looking for! Showings start Saturday, September 28.
