About This Home
As of January 2019Ideally located in Fox Chase, this exquisite custom-built Victorian has all of its original charm and character with an abundance of tasteful updates. A lovely wrap around porch welcomes you into a large living room divided by stately fluted millwork. This double parlor style room offers a great additional space that could be used as a fam room, music room or office and is illuminated by high ceilings, huge windows, and elegant moldings. The craftsmanship and quality of materials truly shines and carries throughout this home with Marvin stain grade windows (all windows have been replaced by current owners), original custom trims, solid wood doors, and hardwood floors with decorative border inlay. A charismatic dining room with a French door contains the coat closet and an exterior door to the side porch and staircase. From the dining room enter into the kitchen with original exposed beams, a sizable peninsula with breakfast bar and a convenient desk area. Ceramic tile counter and wainscoting compliment the kitchen's charm while the 5 burner stainless steel GE stove and double oven accommodates the household chef. The updated laundry room and powder room are suitably located off the kitchen and flow nicely to the rear exterior entrance and deck/patio. The second floor features a spacious master suite with a sitting room that would be a perfect nursery. The updated master bathroom boasts an ample walk-in shower, elegant claw foot tub and radiant floor heat. 2 additional bedrooms and a full bathroom with ceramic stall shower complete the second floor. The bright 3rd floor contains 2 additional bedrooms and a nice-sized storage room. A deck and patio with pergola and a firepit create a delightful outside living space and anchor the spacious backyard. A fabulous variety of mature trees, perennial plantings and a custom built shed with skylights are a gardener's dream. Large basement with plenty of storage space. Top elementary schools (both public & parochial). A short walk to Fox Chase Train Station, restaurants and shopping. A short bike or car ride to Pennypack Park, Lorimer Park and Fox Chase Farm. 1-year Warranty.
