Welcome home to this BEAUTIFULLY kept Victorian Style home in the HEART of Fox Chase! This manicured home has been exceptionally maintained by its owner for the last 38 years- it is evident throughout! You are welcomed by an inviting front Veranda, perfect for morning coffee and relaxing. As you enter the home, the original wood work, banisters, and rich pocket doors exude the original character that this home proudly displays. The front room is currently used as a formal dining room, which can be opened up via the pocket door. Original Built-ins, parquet wood flooring, and custom Hunter Douglas window treatments accent the room. The floor plan flows- as on the other side of the foyer is the living room, which offers an abundance of natural lighting. The kitchen is a chef's delight, with newer stainless steel appliances, lots of granite counter-space, cabinets with roll out shelving, and a breakfast area surrounded by a bow style windows. Off of the kitchen is the real treat- a new, large 3 season room. The three season room offers panoramic views of the bucolic yard and fish pond. Slide the walls away effortlessly, as it is fully screened from floor to ceiling. Custom window treatments have also been added to the sunroom for privacy and sunscreen. Upstairs you will find 3 spacious bedrooms, all with ample closet space and ceiling fans. New wall unit air conditioners have been recently installed and are digitally climate controlled (3). The main bathroom finishes off the second level, which has also been tastefully updated. There is a walk up, full floored attic with windows for extra storage space. The basement is partially finished with a rec room area with faux fireplace. Use as a lower level family room, playroom, whatever fits your needs. The laundry area is bright and cheery. There is a workshop as well, which gives access to the crawl space. There is a ton of storage down here, and it is "bone dry". Beautiful stone retaining walls encase the front of the home and gardens line the side yard, leading to the picturesque back yard and fishpond. Truly a work of art. A full 1 car garage with electronic opener finishes off this incredible home. Use for even MORE storage, or park your car as the current owners do. This home has been cared for from top to bottom, inside and out. And now, you have the opportunity to make it yours.
