Hampden Heights Stately Stone Elegance Standing out on a quiet street just minutes from Albright College is a stately stone home with welcoming, columned, covered front porch and leaded glass entry. Through the front door, you’re immediately embraced by the character of beautiful hardwood floors and deep set windows throughout the main level. French doors lead to the large living room, where a stone, wood-burning fireplace, double front windows, and chair rail molding elevate the space. Continue through another set of French doors with decorative glass to the spacious den, brightened by three walls of windows. On the other side of the foyer through an oversized doorway with matching French doors is the elegant dining room with crown and chair rail molding, perfect for family gatherings and special dinners. A beautiful traditional kitchen boasts a stainless steel fridge, electric range, and double sink with disposal, as well as a built-in dishwasher and desk area, unique cabinetry, including glass wine cabinets and open shelving, a pantry, and side entry from covered side porch. Upstairs, the Master bedroom has hardwood flooring, crown molding, large windows, and a deep closet, as well as an ensuite bathroom with corner stall shower, pedestal sink, crown and chair rail molding, a newer toilet, and wall cabinet for storage. Down the hall are three secondary bedrooms, two enjoying hardwood floors, crown molding, and a deep set closet, and a full bathroom with tile floor, built-in vanity, and tub/shower. A walk up also leads to the third floor with hardwood flooring and vaulted ceiling with lots of potential. An unfinished lower level has high ceilings, windows for natural light, a sump pump for added reassurance, and multiple entries, including a garage with electric opener, newer door, and second carriage garage door. A raised, covered side porch is enhanced by a lovely stone surround and wood ceiling, as well as stairs down to the private, flat backyard and alley access out back.
