Gracious, sun-filled center hall Colonial c.1935, situated in coveted Custis Woods on an expansive .79 park-like acre, framed with lush, mature landscaping, features original architectural details and craftsmanship that truly transform a house into a home-well-scaled rooms, each with multiple windows that welcome an abundance of natural light, gorgeous hardwood floors throughout, wood burning fireplace with brick surround, crown moldings and chair rails and formal center hall stairway, all in an idyllic neighborhood with similar-era brick and stone homes, where each is unique. This 4 bedroom/2 full bath home has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated throughout its near-century lifespan, including a new roof in '22, renovation of both baths in '20 and '22, updated eat-in kitchen with granite counters and sliders to the patio and backyard, newer windows throughout and even an in-line generator! The home's hospitable floor plan unfolds from the center hall entry, with a bright and generous living room to the left that features windows on 3 sides and a wood burning fireplace that you will love gathering around this holiday season! The living room opens to an adjoining sunroom with exposed brick and multiple windows, including a bay window with views of the verdant rear yard; this always-sunny flexible space is ideal for a home office, family room or artist's studio! The formal dining room is perfectly lovely and well-sized for both everyday dining and larger scale gatherings of family and friends, with convenient access to the adjacent kitchen. Lots to love about the kitchen! Its highly functional floor plan includes a granite-topped peninsula/breakfast bar with cabinet storage on one side and seating on the other, a dedicated eat-in area with newer sliders to the brick and stone patio, and a built-in pantry with copious storage, in addition to lots of cabinet storage. The cooks in the family will love the gas range! And the oversized window above the sink provides stunning views of the Japanese Maple, the resplendent giant rhododendron in springtime and the expansive backyard beyond. Just off the kitchen is the main level laundry room/mudroom with sink and storage closet that also has a dedicated egress to the rear yard; this oversized laundry space could easily be re-configured to include a main level powder room. The 2nd level of the home is just as charming as the first, with a sunlit landing atop the staircase and wide hallways that lead to 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The spacious master bedroom suite includes 2 closets and a beautifully renovated full bath with custom vanity, marble flooring, tub/shower and gorgeous Brizo fixtures that strike the perfect balance of vintage and modern. Take the hallway past 2 roomy storage closets to the 2nd bedroom, a bright and generous space that is illuminated by a bank of dormered windows, with a total of 3 closets, creating the opportunity for a second ensuite bedroom. Down the hallway find 2 additional bedrooms, along with a recently renovated vintage-meets-modern full hall bath, also with marble flooring. Want even more room to spread out? The finished basement space has been beloved as a playroom, and could also be well used as an exercise studio or media room. This comfortable, charming home provides every space and opportunity to enjoy a gracious indoor/outdoor lifestyle, and you will readily find this home's location to be optimal: walking distance to the Glenside Septa Train station, minutes from vibrant downtown Glenside, Keswick Village and Chestnut Hill, 3 minutes to Arcadia University, and within close proximity to many of the area's premier private schools. Arrive in downtown Philly in 30 minutes and NYC in 90! For the outdoor enthusiast, both Curtis and Morris Arboretums are less than a 10 minute drive, as is the Wissahickon Valley Park Trail.
