About This Home

As of April 2017

Built in an era when homes had names, "Sunnyside" is a beautifully restored and lovingly maintained late 19th century, 3-story Shingle Style Victorian with 6 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and 7 fireplaces, nestled on over 1.5 picturesque acres with a heated pool and spa on a quiet lane in the heart of highly desirable Rydal, minutes from the train station and shopping. Featured by the Old York Road Historical Society in a walking tour, this home provides period details, including moldings and woodwork, carefully preserved during the renovation of this exceptional property. The open 1st floor provides a large, welcoming Foyer leading to a light-filled Living Room with fireplace, an Office with fireplace, bookshelves and outside entrance, and a gracious Dining Room, all with beautiful oak floors. A charming updated Kitchen with quarry tile floor, high-end appliances and a center island is open to both the Family Room and Breakfast Room, perfect for entertaining, with a Butler's Pantry providing additional storage. 2 sets of stairs provide access to the 2nd floor. The Master Suite features a fireplace, Dressing Room and updated Bath with whirlpool tub and shower with frameless glass door, and a large, private balcony that overlooks the gardens and pool. 2 additional Bedrooms, a cozy Den, 2 newer Bathrooms, a Laundry Room and Linen Room complete this wheel chair accessible level. The 3rd floor includes 3 additional Bedrooms, a Playroom, a renovated full Bath, a Darkroom/Craft room, and excellent storage space. The 3-car garage features a workshop, a storage room, a loft that could become a terrific studio or playroom, and an adjacent dog run. The grounds are absolutely enchanting. Specimen trees and shrubs line the driveway and envelop the entire property, and the constantly blooming perennial gardens provide fresh flowers for most of the year. A covered mahogany porch overlooks the beautiful heated pool and spa with flagstone decking, and a separate flagstone patio provides additional space for entertaining or quiet pleasure. Other special features include a security system, natural gas generator and newer gas heaters with integrated hot water heating. This property provides the charm of the past with the convenience of modern amenities. 1 Year Home Warranty included. --
