About This Home
As of January 2024Welcome to this stately stone colonial home that will remain in your family for years to come! Located in the beautiful community of Ridley Township, just 15 minutes outside of Center City, Philadelphia. This home offers rare historic accents, a spacious floor design, and an extra-large yard rarely found in this area. Built in 1886, and on a beautiful 0.64 acres, you have the pleasure of both old-world charm and picturesque new world living.
As you step inside the front door, you are greeted by the heart of the home, the stone fireplace. The detailed work on ceilings in both the Foyer and Great Room enhance the main level. Like many old homes, you may need to wander around a little on this level, to discover all the charm this house provides. The Great Room features a custom-built bar with granite countertops and coffered ceilings. This room is an entertainer's dream come true, and has French doors to the outside for a dreamy indoor/ outdoor area with a beautiful deck and 7 person hot tub.
Working from home will be easy in the bonus room off of the Great Room which has its own separate door to the outside, or utilize this as a fourth bedroom, whatever best meets your needs! Make your way back through the first level of the house and you will find the cozy sitting room off of the kitchen with original woodwork, windows, and built-in corner cabinets. The Eat In Kitchen includes a peninsula with granite countertops, newer stainless steel appliances, and KraftMaid cabinets. The wood floors and TV above the island tie the room together for memorable days of cooking together while perusing YouTube for the perfect recipe on the smart TV. The first floor also offers a powder room and laundry area with another entrance to the deck which overlooks a large private, level yard ideal for outdoor entertaining. The recently built expansive TREX deck with 7-person hot tub offers an Alexa device for relaxing and listening to music or watching birds.
Upstairs, you will find three newly carpeted and painted Bedrooms, and a Full Bath with ceramic tile floor. The spacious Primary Bedroom has a walk-in closet, rarely seen in older homes of this stature. The Attic and Basement offer plenty of storage.
Brand new driveway and new Owens Corning roof on both the home and garage were completed July 2023.
In addition, included in this incredible opportunity, a 2-car garage with bonus room upstairs which awaits your to mak it your own! Charming and unique! This stately stone Colonial house will allow you to live the life you always dreamed of starting now!
