Your opportunity to own a mid century modern Rydal home unlike any other. This extremely unique Tree House is situated on over 2 acres of land.

As you walk up the winding staircase to the breathtaking living room you will see a custom built fireplace to resemble the treehouse that you are in. Also, the powder room off of the kitchen was designed to resemble a tree, too. There are windows and sunlight everywhere including two circular skylights that can keep you entertained all day with all of the amazing views. Off the large eat in kitchen is a patio for barbequing and a slate pathway to take you to the large field surrounded by forest. The oversized kitchen with all high end stainless steel appliances will beyond satisfy all of your cooking needs: Viking stove top, Jenn Air double oven and a Thermador dishwasher. In addition there are two sinks in the kitchen, lots of storage and a pantry. Off the kitchen is a den with a stone wood burning fireplace and large dining room that opens up onto a wood deck for outside dining and entertaining with great views of the land plus an additional area for reading. The owners wing has two walk-in closets, a large bedroom with a gas fireplace and amazing views of the trees surrounding the property.

The opposite side of the house has another sitting room with a laundry area plus two bedrooms connected by a full bath and the third bedroom has its own full bath perfect for the in-laws or an au pair. This area has access to a fenced in rear yard with a dog run. The lower level of the house has two storage areas plus a two car garage - though even in rain or snow you can park your car under the overhang in front of the house to keep yourselves dry. Conveniently located within walking distance to the Rydal train station, and just a five-minute drive to Baederwood Shopping Center with Whole Foods, & Trader Joes, the Abington Free Library, Alverthorpe Park, and Abington Art Center.
