About This Home

As of June 2025

Are you dreaming of a walkable neighborhood? Would you like to walk to dinner, the Keswick Theater, your local grocery store and maybe an ice cream shop? How about backyard access to a park with green space and sports fields? Check out this lovely Cape Cod on Wharton Road in Glenside. Situated close enough to Keswick Village to walk to entertainment and dining, but just far enough away that it is not part of the Village parking radius, 2042 Wharton Road could be your new home. It’s designed with enough bedrooms and backyard space , while also being a perfect age-in-place home with bedrooms and a full bathroom on the first floor. A beautiful, covered porch greets you as you come up the front walk. Enter the living room with newly restored hardwood floors and a cozy gas stove. In the summertime, switch over to central air for cool comfort. Just beyond the living room, the dining room is awash in natural light coming from both a window and sliding glass doors. From the dining room, look out onto the deck, backyard, and Hallowell Park. Cook delicious meals in the galley kitchen (adjacent to the dining room) with a double-window view of the back property, modern stove, refrigerator, and microwave. The laundry room is conveniently located beside the kitchen and has ample shelving. The first floor also has two full-sized bedrooms (or office space), each with a closet. Walk up the hardwood stairs to the second floor where there are three more bedrooms. The bedroom adjacent to the second full bathroom (with Jacuzzi tub) is spacious and sunny, with light coming from the door that leads to the small deck overlooking the backyard. Walk down the hall to one of the other two bedrooms that has a walk-in closet with shelving. Both bedrooms are bright and airy, equipped with ceiling fans. Outside, there is an attached one-car garage with access via a side door or the electric door (operational by remote).
