About this home
This storybook Victorian Charmer offers original Turn-of-the-Century authentic detailing with sleek Modern additions. Tastefully sophisticated and timeless renovations warmly enhance this inviting 5+ BR, 3B Home with 2 Car Garage on a panoramic 1/3 Acre parcel. After months of quality preparations by area Artisans and professional Contractors, the loving family who has occupied this delightful dwelling since 1961c., is now offering its next Caretakers a seamless 'move-in ready' experience! Immediately enjoy the newly laid hardwood Oak flooring on first level, the just-refinished original 'old-growth' Oak on 2nd, plus gleaming honey-hued Heart of Pine on 3rd level. Discover freshly painted Interiors throughout, newly scrubbed architectural windows- now sparkling inside and out to best reflect the stunning textures of the rare and original handblown 'Cylinder Glass." Rest well with updated electrics @200+ amps; with gutters and roofing beautifully maintained; plus recent pruning and landscaping by qualified Arborists to showcase the stunning property's healthy heirloom trees and foundational gardens. This Home's curb appeal delights with its jaunty, whimsical shapes, welcoming freshly-painted Front Porch, and original double-wide Entrance Doors. The Front Hall is special with its magnificent staircase and stately carved Newell Post to greet- now fully stripped of paint to reveal its glorious 'Tiger Oak' patina'd woodwork of yesteryear. A jewel box of a Closet is delightfully hidden under the stairs to serve. Elegant arches overhead connect the gracious Living Room w/ Turret Bay Window, the formal Dining Room, as well as the richly paneled bookcase-lined Library/ Den, anchored by a cozy fireplace and attractive surround. Through the French Doors, the recently renovated Sunroom is a treasure- with its slated floors, handsome Wissahickon Schist stone, and bank of designer windows framing the lovely view of changing Fall colors. Consider this generous space as a bonus first floor Guest Room as well! The sun-drenched rear Kitchen Extension offers a beautiful world to spend glorious indoor/ outdoor moments ahead, with open access to the exhilarating Raised Deck overlooking your private gardens. Shaker cabinetry, classic Carrera marbled countertops, storage for days, soaring ceilings, and that intimate Breakfast Room view...! This Wing is also Blessed with a discreet full-service Bath for first floor living needs. The second level offers a bevy of wonderfully shaped rooms- each with a unique personality to covet; and all linked by gorgeous shutter-framed windows! The large Bath offers convenient Laundry, as well as a beautiful art-tiled experience showcasing both original and new. The pedestal sink and the soaking tub add 'devine' to this space. The 3rd floor Suite inspires! An Art Studio? Multi-generational living? Find 1 or 2 Bed Rooms, a full Kitchenette, additional Laundry, both expansive and intimate areas to explore... and that tree-top Turret surround is just so fun! The property itself is remarkable: a graveled driveway, a handsomely gated fantastical green world to explore. A hidden 2 car (maybe 2 horse!) gem of a Garage with original doors open to a darkly paneled soaring space for woodwork projects, or to host a Summer party. Established Perennial Gardens grace the landscaping, with plenty of room to kick a soccer ball. An additional gated shade garden beckons for a quiet read... Located in historic East Oak Lane, where Philadelphia kisses Montgomery County- this leafy, residential Community of engaged neighbors enjoys low City taxes, adjacent Suburban shopping amenities galore, as well as an ideal quick commute to Center City by the walk-to-train Regional Railway- only 4 stops away, or continue directly on to the Airport for more global adventures!
