How much staying power can one home have? From its graceful stone façade, to its spacious and inviting interior, to the tons of charm and character it radiates throughout, 3909 W Netherfield Rd is that classic center hall stone Colonial that never loses its appeal. Circa 1930, this 2-story home, with 4 bedrooms and 3.2 bathrooms, is nestled on almost two thirds of an acre of gorgeous property on one of the most picturesque roads in the area. Step inside to the roomy entrance hall with the pretty staircase. Note the random width hardwood floors, beautiful mullioned windows, deep sills, crown molding, chair rails and more. A stately fireplace with its polished mantel is the focus of the generous living room. The elegant formal dining room leads to an updated kitchen with corian counters, stone tile backsplash, stainless appliances and plenty of cabinets. There is also a cozy knotty pine office and a pretty powder room. French doors from the living room open to an expansive sun-filled family room with sliders to outside, exposed stone walls, cathedral ceiling and even a mini kitchen. Lovely details abound. A charming window nook with casement windows greets one at the top of the stairs. Bedrooms are set back from the main hallway with their own vestibule entrances. The large main bedroom offers a walk in closet and en suite bathroom. The three additional bedrooms are served by 2 additional full bathrooms. The full basement houses the mechanicals and laundry. Outside the property is a fairyland of beautiful trees, shrubs, gardens, lawns, sitting areas. There is a mesmerizing waterfall, pond and delightful ground level deck. The home offers central air, a newer roof and many newer windows. There is an oversized one car garage. Jefferson U, Penn Charter, Mifflin School and various charter schools are nearby. Center city is just 15 minutes away. A magical, must see property!
