About This Home
As of December 2022Quality and Craftsmanship will be on your mind when you make your way along the Bluestone walkway, past the Wissahickon Stone Walled Front Patio, and through the Dutch Doors of this remarkably oversized and spacious Stone Cape Cod style home located in a charming setting on a corner lot in sought after, Treelined, Twickenham Village/Custis Woods neighborhood. The homeowners carefully reclaimed, restored, recreated, or re-imagined every nook and secret cubby in this one-of-a-kind home with classic shuttered dormered windows, clasped with wrought iron shutter dogs. The gleaming Hardwood Floors and Custom Mill Work throughout have been carefully, planned, placed, and maintained. The home’s details include crown molding, wainscoting, board and baton, coffered-style ceilings, and built-in cupboards, cubbies, and panel doors to stow your favored collectibles, as well as your practical necessities. The open foyer is adorned with built-in custom cabinetry, that leads down a few stairs to the living room with extra high ceilings, built in shelving to display all your favorite books and collections flanking a mantled, and a wood burning fireplace for those chilly fall evenings. The formal Dining room is open and spacious, centrally located within the living area, making it perfect for entertaining. Anchored by a wide and deep bay window with a view to the garden and custom built-in corner cabinetry, you can display your special collectibles, as well as grow your favorite sun-loving houseplants. The Custom Designed Kitchen features natural cherry wood cabinetry, smooth soapstone countertops, wide farmhouse sink with a view through the garden window, convenient butler pantry with beverage refrigerator, and built-in stainless-steel appliances. Enjoy your morning breakfast, leisurely lunch, or evening supper, or just daydream looking through the bay window with a view to the garden.
Imagine working from home in the adjacent light and bright home office with a view and direct access door to the garden. Don’t need a home office? Reimagine a deluxe mud room/doggie station or first floor laundry room. Rounding out the first floor is a comfortable Den/Family Room with Natural wood accent wall and access to the garden patio through French doors, and a conveniently located 3-Piece, Classic Black and White Tile Bathroom. Ascend to the second level where you will find it appointed with a 4-piece hall bath, 2 Roomy and equally sized bedrooms, and Third Bedroom that will Win Your Heart.
Each bedroom has views to the garden, ample closets, custom trims and hardware, and gleaming hardwood floors. Two bedrooms have Dormered sun-filled window coves where you can read a cozy book, play the Banjo, or paint that masterpiece. One bedroom even has a closet with walk in access to the fully floored attic storage area. The third bedroom is a must-see with its custom built in oversized bunk that will conjure one’s imagination with playful whimsy, the thoughtful technical writer, or future garden designer alike! Enter the custom bathroom through a pocket door and you will immediately notice the deep soaking tub, Cherry wood vanity with quartz countertop, and the natural stone tiled and over-sized walk-in shower. Natural light from above floods in through the skylights in this relaxing retreat.
When you first enter the property, you will notice the 3-Season Screened, Nantucket-Styled Porch. With unfinished loft space and storage area as a Bonus, imagine a summer sleeping porch, yoga, or art studio.
In the evenings, you will notice how the garden glows along the lighted paths, patio, and Koi Pond. The well thought out design and landscaped yard and patio, combines the charm of a cottage garden and the intrigue of a secret garden, offering visual interest, as well as curb appeal in every season, from views both inside and outside of the property.
