About This Home
As of November 2023Glenside is one on Montgomery County's most popular neighborhoods, This area combines all of the best of small town community living with access North (Doylestown), South (Phila), East (Jenkintown, Rydal, Elkins Park) and West (Chestnut Hill, King of Prussia). There is convenient entry to many major travel arteries (309, Easton Road, PA Turnpike, Rt. 611 and Limekiln Pike. The Glenside Train Station is walking distance, as are many bus routes. This is truly a community - lots of local activities, parks, schools, colleges, universities,
and social engagement (restaurants, shopping areas, libraries, yoga/exercise studios, coffee shops, etc.
This house is adjacent to Grove Park - a very quiet, well-tended and well-kept secret - used mainly by nearby local residents, for the most part. The rear of this home has been very creatively landscaped /hardscaped and meanders toward a lovely creek. (The home is NOT in a flood zone). The landscape design is artfully done, with many mature and flowering plants and shrubs. Lynnwood Ave is a quiet, and very well-maintained street.
This is a ranch/ranchette style home, very much in-demand for people who would like to live, primarily, on one floor. Laundry is on the main level of the house. However, this property offers a lower level that has been accommodated to provide an in-law type suite (or an ideal, "privacy level" or a "guest suite." This lower level includes a full-bath (stall shower), a "kitchenette," and extensive, additional storage (which could easily be converted to a work-out space). And, indeed, there is outside access from this level to a rear patio area.
The home itself is a "must see,"..........with nice size bedrooms (two on the main level), a dining room area,
a large living room with fireplace, and an updated and very functional kitchen with kitchen-bar (new cabinetry and newer appliances).
This is NOT an ordinary home. This is a jewel of a property. Please call for an appointment as soon as able since the property is priced to sell. We expect there will there will be immediate demand for showings, so don't delay.
