This gorgeous, elegant 1938 stone Colonial Revival is a home to fall in love with! Beautifully decorated in luxe textures and bathed in lovely natural light, it offers all the space and amenities you want but in a manageable size. Designed by noted architects, Tilden & Pepper, it has many distinctive period details including random-width, pegged oak floors, deep window sills, arched doorways, a slate roof, and beautiful stonework. The current owners have made significant improvements while respecting the home's architectural integrity. The updated kitchen has a Viking stove and other stainless steel appliances, soapstone counters, a center island, large pantry, and a slate floor. The beautiful master suite has a dressing room and a renovated bath with custom vanity and stall shower with penny tile. Enter via a lovely reception room with slate floor. Also on this level are a large family room (great for entertaining), a powder room, laundry, exercise/storage room, and utility room. On the main level are a gorgeous living room, wood-paneled den, and formal dining room, all with wood-burning fireplaces, a powder room, kitchen, and butler's pantry. Down the hall from the kitchen is the original servant's wing with 3 rooms and a full bath, offering many options: office space, a guest or au pair suite. The dining room is pure French romance, with Zuber scenic wallpaper and wall panels hand-painted by a local artist. On the upper floor are all four main bedrooms and three full baths. The grounds are stunning, with many specimen trees, hydrangeas and perennials, and a circular driveway leading through an archway to a courtyard and 3-car garage. The location is so convenient, steps from the Cricket Club, SCH Academy, and the Wissahickon Park, and a 10-minute walk to the train to Center City. 2019-05-08
