Property Description
DISTINGUISH YOURSELF! Step into Style.You've not seen a architecturally pleasant & expertly customized home like this in quite some time! This palatial, all stone, 3-story, CH colonial, circa 1928, w/ dentil molding across the front & keystones over some of the 60 windows, in the Aronimink Estates section of DH, sits pretty on a well known street noted for nothing but grand, custom, period homes w/all different types of architectural styles. It has been upgraded & updated by each of its residents over the last 10 yrs. These sellers put the cherry on top by adding so many beautiful & thoughtful renovations w/amazing space! 0ver 5,000 sq feet of space , to be exact, including the finished lower level. 40 acres, 75x100 lot. 17, 424 feet of land. A true suburban oasis! The latest very recent projects are the gorgeous, expansive, custom grey & white quartz Smart kitchen, w/every amenity you can imagine, like a Hub center Smart TV that can stream apps like Netflix, & can also be used to check email, access the internet, bring up recipes & play music from Amazon, Pandora, & the like . It will take your breath away! The exterior was recently hardscaped a year ago & the d/way coated in Oct. 2022. Pavers w/professional recessed lighting, in the front of the home, on the walkway, & steps , & the medallions on the private driveway for 6 cars are just some of the highlights. Within these 5 BR, 3 full & two half bath walls is a mix of old world style like wainscoting, CR,CM, crystal knobs, oodles of single a & double French doors (many w/a beveled look), a half moon crescent window over the front doorway & 2 quarter moon crescents in the 3rd flr study, 9' ceilings, a slate roof ,curved archways, very deep window sills ,original lead glass windows at each turn of the steps ,columns & THREE full floors of hardwood floors w/walnut ribbon inlay give it that "look". The 3rd flr has as much height & width as the other 2 floors! Amazing ! Then throw in the modern amenities like huge chandeliers from Restoration Hardware, beige replacement windows , a repurposed red,white and black garage ,now housing auto memorabilia, that could easily be a hang-out place for the year round sports enthusiasts, & 2 zones of CA in the house. Enter this exquisite home via the huge center hall. At the end of the hall, & 2 steps down, is a quaint PR with bowl sink & red marble floors. When you need to get away from it all, there's a place for that! The front patio can be a choice to watch the world go by, or the open side porch w/columns to bring a meal outside, or maybe the heated sunroom w/6 wide windows, French doors & a gas fireplace to snuggle. Then step out to the largest ever Trex deck replete w/3 gigantic sections & white vinyl fencing. At the far corner of the wood fenced, expansive back yard is another area to relax at or chat w/friends. There is an invisible fence for your pets,(collars included.) But, if you need to get work done, checkout the office w/French door on the 3rd floor, Guests will love visiting overnight in the other 3rd flr room. (Much of the furniture in these 2 rooms can stay, if interested. ) Cedar closet here too. There are more gorgeous French doors in the LR from the CH &the sunroom. The comforting marble trimmed gas FP in this room is a plus. as is the front picture window . A window to match can be found in the spacious & gracious DR. The French swing door w/lead glass transom is a nice touch. Check out the open back steps to the 2nd flr just above the electric FP in the kitchen & the bonus room w/closets & window seats for storage .The Primary ensuite is a sight to behold! 2 BR's were combined for this wonderful space. The Jacuzzi sitting tub, neutral tilework, cherry/granite vanity & luxury shower will tug at your heart strings, BR2 is adorable, and BR#3 now doubles as a dressing room-tons of closet space. The finished LL boasts an included entertainment center, movie theater seats, projector & screen. FREE HOME WARRANTY!
