Tucked away in a quiet corner of Custis Woods, you'll find this wonderfully updated stone Ranch home. Constructed in 1943, it's sited on a slight rise that provides for great distant views over the neighboring properties and affords great privacy. The fenced rear yard is a great place for Summer BBQ's or to let your 2-legged or 4-legged family members roam free! With just under 2,000SF of living space, it's not too big, not too small. You approach the front door via a flagstone pathway & enter through the Red door into a nice entry foyer. A large coat closet is just inside the entry door. You will begin to appreciate the subtle details of the home, like the original H/W floors, the arched cased openings, crown moldings & original, solid wood doors. The home has been completely renovated in the past 13 years. The former screened porch was re-built to provide for 4-season living, including all new windows, full insulation & baseboard heating. The entire gas-fired HVA/C system was just replaced in 2016 while the basement was completely waterproofed by BQ Basements. The entire house has a brand new roof. The kitchen was completely transformed with custom painted cabinetry, quartz counters, S/S appliances, a built-in microwave, dishwasher, double sink with disposal & even a wine cooler! There are replacement windows throughout. Both bathrooms were also recently renovated to include new vanities, toilets, floor tile & lighting. This truly is the definition of move-in ready! A large living room with a wood burning fireplace has 2 windows facing the front yard & a large picture window facing West. There is a small covered porch off the side door that leads directly to the 2-car garage. The dining room (and the master bedroom) have French doors to the family room which then has direct access to the rear yard. The master suite has 2 closets and a bathroom with a vanity, toilet & a stall shower. This bathroom is connected to the 2nd full bathroom with a tub/shower combo and another vanity and toilet. It's a convenient location, just over 2 miles to Chestnut Hill, and 5 minutes away from the PA Turnpike. On nice days, you can walk to the shops along Easton Road in Glenside or the Glenside SEPTA station. This friendly community offers numerous social activities including an annual hayride, ice cream social, community-wide yard sale and other fun events. Come discover Custis Woods, maybe you too will become an integral part of this wonderful area!
