About This Home

I am excited to share a truly exceptional new listing: "Violet," a historic Victorian farmhouse dating back to 1875. Set on over an acre of lush gardens beside Pennock Park in Lansdowne Borough, this residence is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and beautifully blends timeless character with modern updates.
The home features a floor plan that flows from one room to another with wide-plank hardwood floors and abundant natural light. The main level includes spacious dining and living areas, a renovated kitchen with charming window seats, and a bright sunroom breakfast nook. The second floor offers a large bedroom, a full bathroom, and a study, while the third floor is dedicated to a private primary ensuite with stunning garden views. Additional highlights include: - Modern Amenities: High-velocity central air, a custom wine cellar, and an EV charger with two hookups. - Flexible Living Space: A private two-bedroom apartment, ideal for guests, an au pair, or rental income. - Outdoor Features: A spacious back porch overlooking the gardens and private gated access to walking trails.
The property is perfectly situated within walking distance of Lansdowne’s farmers market, local shops, and the train station for an easy commute to Center City. It also offers close proximity to the Nature Preserve. Minutes from many popular restaurants and cafes to mention a few Backstage Tap & Grill, Blue South and Sopfusion Fine Dining. Don't forget to get your favorite coffee and pastry at Camellia Coffee House and Kia's Cakes Bakery and Cafe. So much to offer and only minutes to Center City Philadelphia.
