Here’s your chance to own a 3 Bed / 1.5 Bath colonial home with traditional charm and contemporary architectural design set on a cul-de-sac in the highly desired Colonial School District in Plymouth Meeting. Enter into the newer kitchen, which features a plethora of contemporary light oak cabinetry, stunning marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a casement window above the sink, flooding the kitchen with natural sunlight. In addition, there is also hardwired under-counter lighting and a large floor-to-ceiling height kitchen storage pantry across from the laundry area. An architect-designed addition transforms the back of the house into a luminous living area, where floor-to-ceiling casement windows and a large sliding door span the family room with a custom-made light oak entertainment center and breakfast/dining area - bathing these spaces in natural light and providing views of the patio, gardens, and terraced yard. Next to the dining area is a versatile room - originally designed as a ceramics studio - which features butcher block work tables with a built-in sink, an abundance of shelving, cathedral ceilings, a skylight, and a floor-to-ceiling casement window. This room is naturally bright throughout the day and can be used as a studio, creative workspace, dedicated home office, or more. Completing the first floor is a formal living room with a fireplace, a half bath, a laundry area, a foyer with a customizable coat closet, and solid oak flooring throughout the family room and breakfast area. The sliding door from the dining area provides direct access to the patio and garden areas, which is anchored by an artisan-made stone wall and a mature Japanese maple, with a low-maintenance wall garden planted with junipers, and a shed. The front garden features mature maples, a viburnum at the entry, junipers, ornamental grasses, and accent stones that provide year-round curb appeal. On the second floor, you will find three sizable bedrooms, a full bath, and an office with custom cabinetry and solid oak flooring, which can be used as a fourth bedroom or nursery. There’s a large driveway with an extra off-street parking space that adjoins the driveway on the left side and a 2-car heated garage is equipped with a workbench, tool drawer unit, wall cabinetry, and large attic space above. Other updates of this home include: a Generac propane-powered backup generator with a 500-gallon in-ground tank installed in 2020, central air conditioning updated in 2020 (excluding ductwork), a five-zone hot water radiant heating system with boiler replaced in 2022, and a hot water heater replaced in 2022. The entire roof, all rake boards, soffits and gutters along with some areas of siding were renewed in 2022. The location can’t be beat! The location offers easy access to the PA turnpike, I-476, Chestnut Hill, Manayunk, and Center City Philadelphia. It’s also nearby the Morris Arboretum, Wissahickon Valley Park, and Fort Washington State Park for hiking and outdoor recreation and close to cultural and educational destinations, including the Woodmere Art Museum and Whitemarsh Art Center.
