At 801 Preston Road, you will find a light-filled multi-level home with a backyard oasis. Located just off of Paper Mill Rd in Chesney Downs, this 4-level house offers 3 bedrooms with 2 baths on the top level, an open dining room and living room with cathedral ceilings and eat-in kitchen on the 3rd level, and an entrance foyer, home office, laundry room, powder room and two car garage on the entry-level. Rounding out the varied spaces of this home, the lower level features a finished basement with outdoor access and large windows, a utility room, and a clean and dry crawl space for storage with recently replaced water inlet service and sewer lines. Features that are unique to this property include a huge deck accessible from sliding doors in the dining room and a door in the kitchen, a very private backyard with mature plantings that provide "natural" fencing along the south side of the corner lot, and a small creek at the back of the property. A 2-year-old shed in the rear corner of the yard provides spacious storage for outdoor furniture and landscaping tools. Along the north-facing side yard, there is a frog pond designed by the seller. The systems in this house have been meticulously maintained and feature some recent updates. The high-efficiency HVAC unit including a whole-house humidifier was installed in 2013. The washer and gas dryer were added in 2016 and the water heater was replaced in 2011. After moving in the sellers renovated the kitchen and installed the appliances along with Italian terra cotta backsplash and maple cabinetry in 2009. Concerned about the roof? It was installed in 2009 with 28 years remaining on the warranty. With walking access to the Springfield Township schools and the township library, proximity to Rte 309 and the Erdenheim retail corridor on Bethlehem Pike, this location has many advantages. Come to Chesney Downs to see the best of what Erdenheim offers residents.
