When first built a school for young children was set up in one of the front rooms. To protect it's distinctive and historic character, the home is located within Gladwyne's Historic Class 1 HARB District.

When first built a school for young children was set up in one of the front rooms. To protect it's distinctive and historic character, the home is located within Gladwyne's Historic Class 1 HARB District. The current owner integrated distinctive and tasteful additions and upgrades to the home including a fabulous family room, a custom eat in kitchen, a super convenient first floor laundry room/mud room, a highly efficient in home office, 2 1/2 updated bathrooms, 2 zone central air, and a whole house generator.

From the living room step down into the family room with a brick fireplace with gas logs, built in shelves accented by recessed lighting, a wall of windows overlooking the picturesque back yard, and two exits to the flagstone patios. The modern eat-in kitchen features custom shaker style cabinets with built in pull out shelves and inlaid dividers/drawers, granite countertops, tile backsplash, peninsula breakfast counter, built in microwave, and a wall of glass front cabinets with built in lighting. Finishing off the first floor is the mudroom with laundry closet, coat closet, utility closet and powder room. On the second floor is the spacious master bedroom, walk in closet with an organizing system, and the master bath with two separate sinks/vanities, stall shower and tub. Up on the third floor is bedroom # 2 (just as large as the master bedroom) with built in cabinets/bookshelves, bedroom #3 with several built ins and access to the attic, and a hall bath with a stall shower.

Many Memorial Day parades have been enjoyed while relaxing with family and friends on the inviting front porch. Exquisite perennial gardens and lush professional landscaping encompass the backyard. At the far left of the backyard is what was the original barn which has been converted to an oversized one car garage with a loft and attached potting shed. Abutting the backyard is a scenic township park with ball fields, tennis courts, a playground and pavilion. Just a block away is Gladwyne Elementary School.
