Description

Nestled along a picturesque street in the heart of Lansdowne, this 5-bedroom 4-bath Colonial has been remodeled with care, retaining the home's original charm and character. From the generous .56-acre corner lot that's uniquely zoned "residential with light commercial use" (formerly housing a doctor's office) to the 3,000+ sf of updated living space, this home is perfectly designed for style, comfort and functionality. Enter from the front porch into the inviting, light-filled foyer. Adjacent to the foyer is the family room where the beautifully crafted stone fireplace surrounded by elegant French doors frames the room and provides a seamless indoor/outdoor flow to the covered porch with classic stone pillars and modern horizontal railing. On the other side of the foyer is the dining room, the perfect setting for hosting large gatherings or intimate family meals. The space incorporates eye-catching, over-sized windows with an accent wall that tastefully separates the butler's pantry on the other side. The dining room flows effortlessly to the well-equipped kitchen that's been updated with rich cherry cabinetry, beautifully coordinating granite countertops, modern stainless-steel appliances, multi-level island and an adjoining laundry area. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms including a luxurious primary suite with custom accent wall, oversized bow windows and a stylish barn door. The spa-like ensuite bathroom includes a striking double vanity, soaking tub, frameless glass enclosed shower and "massive" walk-in closet with make-up area. Two additional generously sized bedrooms are located on the third floor, one of which is being used as a home office. Each of the upper levels includes a hall bath, both thoughtfully updated to balance style and functionality. Downstairs, the partially finished basement incorporates a second home office with a separate workout/recreation space, storage closet and dedicated dog bath for your furry family members! If that's not enough, step outside to your private backyard oasis. The multi-tiered deck is great for entertaining, barbecuing, relaxing under the stars or simply enjoying a cup of coffee! The deck is flanked by generous outdoor space that could readily be converted into a play area, garden or future expansion -- the possibilities are endless! There's a detached garage, an ideal flex space for a workshop or studio, and an extended driveway providing more than ample off-street parking for family and friends. This property is a rare find. Whether you're looking to start a home business or seeking a space that gives you room to spread out, (either inside or out), you owe it to yourself to schedule a showing. Convenient to shops, restaurants, major highways, Philadelphia airport and more.
