Welcome home to this charming & spacious 1910 cedar-clad Colonial in the heart of North Hills. One of the original properties constructed in this area, it has a huge rear yard that is partially wooded, providing exceptional privacy. From the street, the house has wonderful curb appeal with a privet-edged front yard (fully fenced), a large driveway with parking for at least 4 cars and a big bonus, an over-sized 2-car garage with loft storage! A gracious full-width front porch provides a great space for shaded dining or entertaining. Out back there is a large deck that has a retractable awning and pathways that lead down to the rear lawn that has a shed (for further storage) and a delightful pond with a waterfall (separately fenced for safety). Enter into the front door and you will begin to appreciate the original details that have been retained, including crown moldings, original H/W floors, thick moldings & high ceilings. The living room has a wood-burning fireplace and windows on three sides for great cross-ventilation. A curio cabinet was built into the frame of a former window that was outfit with a display light & glass shelves. The dining room has a large bay with high windows (for privacy & that allows for a hutch to be placed underneath), a built-in china closet & a swinging door into the kitchen. The kitchen reminds one of a cottage in the mountains with real wood paneling, updated cabinets, direct access to the rear yard or the 2nd floor (via the rear staircase) and all the necessary appliances. A pass-through window over the sink provides a sightline into the family room that provides direct access to the rear deck. Upstairs, the master bedroom occupies the entire space over the living room. The main bathroom has both a tub & a stall shower. Two other bedrooms occupy this floor. Up on the third floor is a huge bedroom tucked under the eaves, and a former linen room (un-heated) that is large enough that one could create a new bathroom in its space. There is also a large attic storage room. While the basement is un-finished, there is a 2nd full bathroom & a bright laundry room (heated, with ample windows & a door to the rear yard). It's a convenient location, just 1 block to the Ardsley SEPTA station and walking distance to downtown Glenside. 1-year HSA Warranty is being provided for the Buyers!
