IF YOU WANT TO LIVE ON THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER STREET IN GLENSIDE FOR UNDER $500,000 YOU BETTER MOVE FAST ON THIS ONE OF A KIND HOME!! This stately home was built in 1905 and according to some historians the prominent architect Horace Trumbauer had a hand in the design details. The exterior of the home has 2 front entrances (former Dr. had his office here while he lived in the house) and both are equally impressive. The main front porch has a unique layout with brick wall and columns and lots of room to relax and enjoy. This leads you to the gracious front foyer with fireplace and gorgeous mantel and hardwood floors which are throughout most of the home. The foyer opens to the living room with fireplace and triple window in the front and on the side, the hallway and front staircase and the formal dining room. The formal dining room has pocket doors, beautiful woodwork and is the perfect spot for family and holiday entertaining. The breakfast room is charming and has a built in cupboard and an open view of the kitchen. The kitchen has some of the original butler pantry cabinetry, high ceilings and lots of potential! The family room is HUGE and has nice woodwork, ceiling fan, tons of windows and an outside exit to driveway. The laundry/mud room is off of the kitchen and has an outside exit to backyard. A powder room and back staircase are also off of the kitchen. The foyer leads to another side of the house (formerly DR office) and this space is so versatile and can be used as additional family room/playroom, office or den. The space is so unique inside and out with its brick exterior front and octagonal shaped room. A powder room (not currently utilized) completes this side of the house. The main and back staircases lead to second floor where there are 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths-there are so many ways to use this space and several of the rooms could be used as the primary bedroom. The one full bath has large marble stall shower, standard tub and basket weave tile floor. The second bath has shower over tub and pedestal sink. There is a bedroom leading to a sunroom that would be a perfect home office or craft room. The third floor has 3 bedrooms and full bath (not currently utilized) and and has many possibilities -use this space for bedrooms if needed or exercise room, office, au pair or guest suite-you decide what works best for you! There is a full basement with outside exit and a 2 car detached garage (in need of repair) with off street parking for at least 5 cars and a nice backyard. The location is AMAZING-literally a 2 minute walk to Glenside Train Station and Roberts Block Restaurant and minutes to Keswick Village, shops/restaurants along Easton Rd including Glenside Pub, Franklin's (sports bar/live music), The Ways Brewery and Sweet Magnolia -the best gift shop around!! And the icing on the cake is it is located in sought after Copper Beech Elementary! HURRY!!!
