About This Home

As of September 2017

This Cape Cod style home is in a secluded, country-like setting AND nearby major hi-ways BUT you would not know it! Back in the day Gravel Pike was a toll road crossing Poquessing Creek into Philly. The spacious rear yard invites you to enjoy the serenity of the wooded locale. The main bedroom with its walk-in closet not only faces this charming view but also shares the modern bath with the first floor, like getting 2 with just one to clean. The formal dining room also overlooks the covered patio and the rear grounds; the fireplace in the living room suggests the warm glow of a Currier & Ives snowy winter scene. The rear bonus room was the first floor laundry room. The separate 110 electric line is in place; the plumbing was removed and realigned into the basement. This could be reconverted into a large laundry/mud room or as a toy/playroom. Both upstairs bedrooms are as big as many main bedrooms AND one has a balcony for those breezy evenings to enjoy. There is also a laundry room hook-up for your convenience upstairs. The basement is huge and has a storm door exit to the rear yard. The water drainage system around the perimeter drains into the sump pump area allowing maximum floor usage. As you enter and leave picture sitting on the front porch appreciating the peace and quiet of this your "cozy cottage" in Rywall Park!
