Have you been looking a long time for a single house with a large, fenced-in back yard and a 2-car garage? Look no further. This classic center-hall colonial was built at a time when houses were built solid. This beauty was constructed in 1920 by a locally renowned builder (Potts) with a reputation for quality and architectural details in his houses. All rooms are generous in size with lots of natural light. The living room has French doors to the bonus room and a brick fireplace (currently with a wood stove insert) with mantel and hearth. The bonus room off the living room can be used as a family room, office or playroom. The kitchen has a distinctive retro feel with the original farmhouse-style sink. A newer powder room is also on this level. The original oak hardwood floors are narrow-planked, with a strip of rosewood running through the border, creating a stunning effect. Rare, but here, are ceiling heights of 9 ft. on the first floor and 8-1/2 ft. on the upper level. The second floor has three bedrooms, and a tiled bathroom with hints of the Art Deco era in which it was built. Other special features are glass and brass door knobs, tiger oak natural doors, 8” high baseboards, wide window sills, to mention a few. The third floor can be your fourth bedroom, if needed, and with the addition of a bath, it can be your private owner suite. The beautiful slate roof was installed from the bottom up in December 2001 with a new copper pent roof over the covered entrance, and new copper gutters. Economical gas heat and efficient radiators are enhanced by a new Navien Combi-boiler and tankless, on-demand water heater. A newer shed with cedar shake siding and roof stands proudly in a corner of the one-third acre, level back yard. The location is convenient to all kinds of shopping, with several eateries within walking distance, plus a park, playground, banks, hardware store, mom-and-pop grocery, bakery, post office and others nearby. Upper Dublin Blue Ribbon schools. A neighborhood group, open to all residents, sponsors monthly social gatherings and holiday and seasonal events to promote community unity. Your search is over.
