This circa 1900 colonial residence sits on close to three acres and backs to Pennypack Creek. The house is situated up a wooded hill from the creek. The grounds boast lush, low-maintenance landscaping and a large driveway. Enter into a gracious foyer with built-in bench seat and formally-dressed fireplace mantle. Through the pillars to the right is a stately formal living room with antique chandelier. French windows and doors grace most rooms in the house. To the left is a formal dining room, again with antique chandelier and decorative fireplace. Straight ahead is a formal library. Authentic, luxurious wood panels envelop this classic study, complete with working hearth and four French doors opening onto an enclosed, four-season sunroom. A morning room, butler's pantry and eat-in kitchen complete this level. The butler's pantry and kitchen sport granite counters. This home has a circular floor plan perfect for entertaining. Upstairs is an elegant landing with Juliet balcony, five bedrooms, three baths, a built-in linen closet and laundry room. One bedroom is currently used as an upstairs drawing/sitting room. Architectural features throughout include original hardwood floors, a grand front staircase, a rear staircase to kitchen, four antique chandeliers and five fireplaces. Classic moldings include picture rails, wainscoting and high baseboards throughout. Walk to Lorimer Park and the Beth Ayres rail station. Just a quick drive to Bryn Athyn houses of worship.
