"Marcello" is an impressive stone residence built in 1937 in the style of an English country home. The house is formal yet comfortable, grand yet inviting. Rich mouldings and millwork predominate in the EH with its graceful staircase, doorways and in the walnut paneled library opening to a walled slate patio. Look for light-filled rooms, random width oak floors; handsome casement windows with deep sills; two stately fireplaces - one with Vermont castings gas stove; elegant living and dining rooms; designer country kitchen with custom French tiles, high-end appliances, granite counters and adjoining breakfast room; main bedroom suite with luxurious bathroom, lots of closets and adjoining bedrm used as a sitting room. Each remaining bedrm has its own bath. The basement is finished, there are two PRs, 2-zoned heat, c/a, an over-sized 1-car garage, and a heated driveway. The grounds include half an acre, and the setting high above the road affords lots of privacy. Just 15 min from center city, this is one of the area's truly distinctive properties. Old-school craftsmanship in one of the finest, most stately homes in East Falls. Heated driveway, well-planned seasonal plantings. Roof in excellent condition; house exterior being completely repainted.
