About This Home
As of December 2021Talk about location, location, location! This 3 bed 1.5 bath charming colonial in Lansdowne's traditional neighborhood district is a quick walk to Belmont Park, the local farmers market, and a short drive from major Delaware County shopping centers. Easy access to Septa, Amtrak, and the I-95 corridor provides an easy commute to Philadelphia and Delaware no matter how you're traveling. As you open the front garden gate, you're welcomed by a landscaped front yard, with flowering quince, primrose, bleeding hearts, rhododendron, day lilies and wildflowers. The side yard boasts a ready-to-plant veggie garden that has yielded more tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and herbs than you can count, with a convenient potting bench at the end of the driveway. As you enter the home, you'll fall in love with the hardwood flooring and charming, handcrafted wood work of the stairs and fireplace - they don't build them like this anymore! The first floor has a spacious entry way to set up a mudroom bench, and an open living room, leading to the sunny dining room. Recently renovated kitchen features a stainless steel fridge, new granite countertops, and wooden cabinets. The bonus first floor den can serve as a sunroom, reading nook, studio, or intimate entertaining space. The upstairs has 3 large bedrooms with plenty of closet space and a full tile bathroom with tub. As you head downstairs, notice the basement has plenty of room to finish and has been partially framed and drywalled already. Don’t miss the opportunity to add your touches and make this house your home!
