A midcentury dream in Philadelphia's East Falls neighborhood! Originally built as the parsonage for the neighboring East Falls Presbyterian Church, this oversized Cape-style home and the abounding half+ acre was thoughtfully subdivided in 2009. Set back on an ample corner lot and framed by 17 well-maintained white pines, this home offers the best of the suburbs in a vibrant city setting. MAIN FLOOR: Approach the home from the long walkway and enter from the front porch, you'll be greeted by an entry hall, deep coat closet, and warm hardwood floors. To the right, the large formal living room will lure you in with its large bright windows and original built-in bookcase. Through the living room is a den with a wood-burning brick fireplace and stone hearth, where you will be struck by visions of cozy winter nights. Enter the kitchen from the den or from the entry hall: you'll enter the large light-filled dining room open to a warm, social kitchen with 4-person counter seating, stone countertops, wood cabinetry, stainless steel Kitchenaid appliances set in the perfect work triangle. Main floor also includes a laundry room and access to the large two-car garage through the back of the kitchen. Off to the left of the entry hall, past a tasteful half bath, is a large main floor primary bedroom complete with closets, a large dressing area, and a renovated ensuite bathroom with modern subway tiles and rain shower head. SECOND FLOOR: Head upstairs to three additional bedrooms with abundant closets and dormer windows, and dedicated office space with 4 small closets. One bedroom has an attached "hobby room" with vaulted ceilings and a skylight, easily conceived as an attached nursery, an exercise/yoga/music/art/studio space, or an incredible walk-in closet. The second floor also boasts a large bathroom with two standalone vanities and a tub shower. LOWER LEVEL: Don't forget to checkout the bonus space in the finished basement large enough for your in-home gym or the gaming room. EXTERIOR PROPERTY: Be sure to build in some extra time to wander around the property and admire the fall foliage and mature trees, which have been thoughtfully planted and tended to, as well as the partially covered back patio, which conjures friends and family gatherings in all seasons to enjoy the peaceful surroundings high on the hill and under the tall pines. Close to practically everything but especially public transit, McMichael Park, the trails of the Wissahickon Valley Park, Jefferson University, Mifflin School, William Penn Charter School, Germantown Friends School, the Midvale Avenue shops, Conrad Street businesses, Ridge Avenue restaurants, and only five miles along the river to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and other Center City attractions. Yes, dreams do come true make it happen today!
