533 Bridle Rd, Glenside, PA 19038

This just may be the one for you --a charming, expanded brick Colonial in the desirable Custis Woods neighborhood of Glenside that is conveniently located minutes from the city. Situated on a corner lot along a beautiful, tree-lined street, this 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home offers an ideal layout for entertaining or escaping into individual quiet spaces. The large addition off what was the rear of the home creates a new and convenient main entrance at the end of the driveway. As you enter the home you step into a wide tile-floored foyer which leads into the kitchen, living room or the family room. The addition provides great circular flow for entertaining. Three sets of windows brighten the family room, which is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with a custom tile surround and flanked by moon and star sconces. Need privacy? Two sets of pocket doors can be closed to create a quiet work-from-home space. The family room flows into the bright, cheery and spacious eat-in kitchen which was thoughtfully designed with an island (including a 2nd prep sink), pantry cabinets & closet, a bar area (with yet another bar sink) and a desk nook. The entire rear of the kitchen is flooded with light, and the sink looks out over the deck & rear yard. The vaulted ceiling with skylights enlarges and brightens the room. There is ample room for a breakfast table and four chairs. A sliding glass door opens to the oversized, newly stained deck which is a secluded space for relaxing, year round grilling and outdoor dining. Elevated from the street, it provides a great view over the trees and the fenced-in backyard that offers private space to play and hours of fun on the swing set. There is a large storage shed tucked behind the house to store all the yard equipment. In the original part of the home, you'll find the formal dining room and living room which has classic French doors, a second fireplace and hardwood floors. A powder room and two coat closets complete the main level. The lower level has been finished to provide extra living space that could be used as a playroom or for remote learning and working. Upstairs, there are three spacious bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms. With a third hall bath, there's no fighting over the bathrooms in this house! The vaulted ceiling gives the primary suite a dramatic look. It has a pair of large closets, windows overlooking the back and side yards and brand new carpeting. The large en-suite bathroom is complete with double sinks, a shower stall and separate jetted tub. The location of this home simply can't be beat. The Custis Woods/Twickenham Village Neighborhood Association (voluntary involvement, no HOA required) traditionally hosts various community events throughout the year, including a fall block party, spring and summer socials and holiday caroling. The home is close to Keswick Village, Chestnut Hill, and convenient to Route 309, the PA Turnpike, Willow Grove Mall, Whole Foods/Trader Joe's in Jenkintown. It?s also just a 1-mile walk to the Glenside SEPTA station along with all the shops and restaurants along Easton Road.
