128 Garden Rd, Oreland, PA 19075

This could be the one you’ve been dreaming of! This property is the largest one in East Oreland, which should take care of all your needs for space – plus, there is also an in-law suite, with its own kitchenette and a separate entrance. Nestled on a corner lot, the property boasts a newer fence (2018) with a level back yard on one of the nicest streets in the neighborhood. Enter the front door into a living room with a wood-burning fireplace with a glass insert that directs the heat back into the room, instead of up the chimney. The dining room to the right has the original, built-in corner cabinets with glass fronts adding character and charm to the room. The pass-through to the kitchen reveals a renovated area (2017) with soft-close 42” cabinets, granite counters, custom backsplash with glass-tile accent, stainless steel sink and appliances plus recessed ceiling and under-cabinet lighting. Butler’s pantry to the right. A few steps away is a huge mudroom (2017) that has many more cabinets, plus a laundry area. To call that a mudroom doesn’t do it justice (it’s bigger than most kitchens), although there is a back door to the covered patio where family or guests could come into the house after playing, relaxing or working in the yard and needing to wash up or have access to the convenient powder room. There is also a family room with built-ins off the kitchen, which can be accessed either through the living room or through the kitchen. The first-floor layout is perfect due to its flow from room to room. The in-law suite with bedroom, living room, kitchenette and full bath with shower is off the living room for privacy, yet being in touch with the rest of the house. The main house has 4 bedrooms, with the primary suite having not only its own bathroom, but also a dedicated room for a private office. To show its versatility, that room can also be used as the 6th bedroom of the property, if you need the extra sleeping space. It could also be a craft room or made into a huge walk-in closet to augment the primary bedroom’s current three closets if you feel the need for more hanging space for clothes. A surprise is a laundry chute from the primary bedroom to the laundry room. The main house has original, narrow width hardwood floors. Carpet removal would reveal pristine floors that have not been exposed in at least the 56 years that the current owner has lived there. Interior doors are solid wood with original brass hardware. The roof (2021), HVAC system (2019) serviced annually, and gutter guards (2021) give you peace of mind. Of special note is a whole house generator (2019), so you and everything in the house will carry on, uninterrupted. Three-zone economic gas heat. Here you can be part of EONA, a neighborhood group that sponsors social gatherings and activities throughout the year, including hayrides, progressive dinners, Easter egg hunts, ice cream socials, yard sales, luminaries at holiday time, and other great events. The property is only two blocks from the East Oreland Park and playground. Easy walk to the Oreland train station and the post office, restaurants, bakery, hardware store and other neighborhood shops for your convenience. PA turnpike and Rt. 309 are less than 2 miles away. Pinch yourself to check if you are dreaming, but you’ll find the possibility of such a wonderful house is now a reality. Call for a private showing today.
