Welcome to this beautifully maintained two-story Wissahickon schist stone colonial nestled on highly sought-after Rose Lane in the Flourtown section of Springfield Township, Montgomery County. Built in 1939, this home is one of the larger properties on Rose Lane, offering a perfect blend of character, comfort, and modern updates.
A garden path leads to the covered front patio, providing a welcoming spot to relax. The beautifully landscaped yard, featuring azaleas, iris, dogwood, daffodils, hydrangeas, and forsythia bushes, offers both beauty and privacy.
Step through the center hall entryway, where you will be greeted by gorgeous refinished white oak floors that run throughout the home. To the left, you'll find a spacious living room with deep windowsills and a wood-burning fireplace with a lined and capped chimney. To the right, the dining room features a pearlized art-nouveau stencil along the walls and leads to the updated kitchen and a large first-floor laundry room/office and extra pantry.
The expansive kitchen boasts cherry cabinetry, a white subway tile backsplash, and white quartz countertops. A custom-built high wooden farm table (included with the house) anchors the food prep section of the room, while a separate area by the sliding glass doors to the pergola, patio and garden, creates a separate dining/sitting space — perfect for casual meals or relaxing with a cup of coffee. Recent upgrades feature a new LG refrigerator (2023) and dishwasher (2024). The kitchen and adjacent first-floor bedroom are finished with Daltile Franciscan Slate flooring.
This home offers three full bathrooms, including one in a first-floor suite with its own exterior entry and accessibility features — providing flexible options for guests or extended stays. Upstairs are three additional large bedrooms, along with a primary suite and an updated three-piece hall bath with a shower over tub.
This wonderful home offers equally inviting outdoor spaces. Complementing the front yard, gardens and patio, the backyard features a large timber frame pergola sitting over the slate patio along with a handmade wooden door leading to a shed off the patio. A native garden along the stone back wall separates the upper and lower yards, and a wooded area at the rear of the double lot completes this large and versatile backyard.
Additional improvements include a new roof (2019), full basement waterproofing (2024), an updated electric panel (2012), a new oil tank (2022), and a repaved driveway (2023). The copper gutters and mission-style lights beside the front door reflect the home's preserved charm.
Located close to Chestnut Hill, the Green Ribbon Trail, and Fort Washington State Park, with easy access to the Morris Arboretum, Forbidden Drive, and the Wissahickon, this home offers comfort and convenience. Shops, restaurants, and transportation are nearby, making this an ideal location for easy living.
