About This Home

As of November 2017

Space -- it's not a final frontier here! Spacious and elegant, this remarkable, custom home has a lot of it: lots of room AND a lot of rooms! It can be a 6-bedroom if you wish, and it has at least 1 full bath on each floor. It features elegance with a country flair -- in the desirable Halford Tract, no less! You will enjoy a symmetrical, circular floor plan that is great for entertaining. There is a welcoming central foyer with a flagstone floor, along with gleaming hardwood floors on the first floor, three masonry fireplaces, and ample room to entertain inside and out. The tasteful living room accesses the library, which leads to the amazing family room, with its corner fireplace. The family room has one of two exits onto the main deck and rear yard, too. The open, country kitchen includes a delightful dining area, and opens to both the formal dining room and the family room, along with the deck and yard. The master suite stays cozy in winter with its brick fireplace, and is delightful the rest of the year too, with its private deck, daylit walk-in closet and spacious bath. Need storage or hobby space? The huge basement can handle that - and more, as it has inside access to the 3-car garage; AND, there is also ample attic storage on the third level and above the garage, accessed via pull-down stairs. The lovely, part-shaded grounds include carefully tended ornamental and native plantings, and a large open area perfect for the gardener. Halford Tract is a highly sought-after neighborhood which has easy access to the Schuylkill River Trail, which leads to Philadelphia, Valley Forge National Park and the Perkiomen Trail. Nearby is King of Prussia and multiple SEPTA regional rail stations, the Norristown High Speed Line, Route 422, several hospitals and numerous private schools and colleges. In fact, free school bus transportation is available to many area private schools ranging from Bryn Mawr to Radnor to Plymouth Meeting and other areas, too. The Halford Tract also has a volunteer community association, a vibrant theatrical playhouse and there is no through-traffic... and much is happening in and around nearby Norristown; be part of the evolving Renaissance! Fourth Fridays, Theatre Horizon and numerous festivals are common, and the Elmwood Park Zoo is a highly respected nature venue attracting thousands annually. Come experience this remarkable property. A flexible closing is possible.
