One of Shillington's finest homes! This 1943 Tudor home is rich with its original architectural character but updated to meet the needs and demands of today's discriminating buyer. Entrance into this home is through the arched solid-wood front door with leaded glass leading into the vestibule with a traditional Pennsylvania blue slate floor. The original hardwood throughout the home has been meticulously restored highlighting the detail of the red oak grain. The formal living room provides ample space for hosting parties and holidays! The wood fireplace with glass tile surround creates a young eclectic design yet honors the tradition of the home. The living room accesses the side slate porch which is covered by the roof extension and then steps down to the deck offering seating and privacy! The formal dining room is beautifully detailed with wainscoting and leads into both the kitchen and sun room. The sun room will surely satisfy today's needs - home office, classroom, meditation/yoga studio, etc.! The kitchen is truly a home cook's delight! The solid oak cabinets have been given a makeover with paint that accents the gorgeous quartz countertops and top-of-the-line Miele appliance kitchen package. One cabinet surprises the buyer with a throw-back to the past - a cool bar with bar sink! The laundry room is conveniently located off of the kitchen and provides Butler's pantry space. The family room, accessible from the kitchen and sun room, is a perfect hang-out spot for all! Tile floors and a wood-burning stove make this space both cozy and practical! This home offers a circular floor plan which is unusual for its architecture and age. The current owners keen eye for flow & function transformed the first floor to one that is fully accessible and used. There is also a sweet powder room located between the kitchen and formal living room. The second floor is home to the master bedroom, 2 additional bedrooms and 2 completely renovated, updated and modernized baths! The second floor also features beautifully refinished original hardwood floors. The 3rd floor of this home offers the 4th bedroom and oversized storage closet! The lower level provides fantastic storage space separated into 3 distinct areas, including garage space large enough for two cars. Given the high ceilings and plastered walls, each space could be converted into its own unique area - play space, gym, wine cellar, etc. The current owners have made significant upgrades to this home and property - roof, HVAC system, updated electric, Miele appliances, renovated bathrooms, new sidewalks, etc. Schedule your tour today – you do not want to miss out!
