715 Sunset Rd, Glenside, PA 19038

Welcome home to this fabulous Custis Woods Cape! This custom home was built in 1947 and sited on the nearly acre property in a perfect East/West axis to maximize the southern exposure in winter & provide for abundant light. It was featured in the Philadelphia Inquirer in 1950 & American Home magazine in 1952! The landscaping is just spectacular, with perennial planting beds that bloom throughout the growing season, meandering grass trails throughout the rear yard and even a wonderful vegetable garden just off the sunroom out back. Japanese maples grace the entry walkways, a stately Copper Beech tree shades the driveway area and there's even an Apple tree in the rear yard that produces fresh fruit! You enter this nearly 2,800 SF property into a welcoming, vaulted entry foyer. A 1st floor home office is immediately to your right that has a wall of built-in storage cabinets & bookshelves. The entire rear of the house is one large living & dining room. A wall of custom cabinetry surrounds the fireplace, that has a wood stove insert to help reduce those Winter heating bills. Off the dining room is a 4-season family room with full-sized, custom Pella glass doors on 3 sides. This room with custom bluestone floors and stair risers has radiant floor heating. The massive, eat-in kitchen is now located in the former garage and is completely modernized with all the necessary upgrades, a large center island and abundant storage (all with granite counters). The laundry area and a powder room complete the 1st floor. Upstairs, there are 3 large bedrooms. The master suite includes a renovated bathroom, a large walk-in closet, a 2nd closet and the "secret" walk-in cedar closet. There are also 2 large closets in the hallway (one which could easily be converted to a 2nd floor laundry area, if needed) and the 2nd full bathroom has also been renovated. While the basement is un-finished, it does provide ample storage. The property has central A/C as well. The detached, 2-car garage also provides a lower level workshop/tractor storage room. Come discover the tight-knit community of Custis Woods/Twickenham Village with its informal civic association that provides annual events like the ice cream social, Halloween parade & hayride, yard sale, holiday sing-a-long and other community-building activities! 1-year HSA warranty included with the purchase.
