This exceptional Carriage Home tucked away on one of the prettiest and quietest streets in Glenside was originally built in the early 1900s by the Mayor of Philadelphia, Thomas B. Smith, who lived in the home next door. Upon approach from the long driveway, its idyllic setting will be your very first impression as you set your sights on this gorgeous home. Surrounded by mature trees and native plants, a brick patio, and a carport, you will soon discover that this home is just as charming on the outside as it is on the inside. As you enter through the main entrance from the attached carport area and into the stone tile-floored foyer you will be in awe of the impressive and large living room that greets you to your right. Soaring ceilings, gorgeous random-width hardwood flooring, a stone, wood-burning fireplace, and built-in bookcases make this magazine-worthy room shine. This space feels like you are living within a ray of sunshine thanks to all of the wonderful windows allowing natural light to stream in and fill the space. On the other side of the foyer area is an equally cheery dining room chock-full of its own distinct charm. This room features stylish lighting under a pretty ceiling medallion, a built-in corner cabinet with shelves and storage, a dry bar, the same gorgeous random-width hardwood flooring that captured your heart in the living room, and lots of windows to allow the sunlight to fill the room. Don’t be afraid to pull on the handles you see built-into the paneled staircase wall, they lead to a custom, pull-out coat closet, and another unique storage space. A lighted shelved, display cabinet found underneath the adjoining kitchen counter provides another opportunity for storage and to display any collectibles you may have. Do not miss the built-in post box located near the Farmhouse-style Dutch Door in between the foyer and dining room, it is a favorite feature of all who visit. A long, galley-style kitchen is adjacent to the dining room and can also be accessed from that adorable aforementioned brick patio outside and also from the living room, giving it fantastic flow for entertaining. The sunny, white kitchen is efficient in nature and features an abundance of cabinetry for all of your storage needs, granite countertops, a porcelain farmhouse-style sink, gas cooking with GE Profile cooking appliances, and an LG stainless steel refrigerator. Completing the first floor of the home is a conveniently located full bathroom with a stall-style shower. The second floor of the home features 3 nice-sized bedrooms, each with wonderful storage options and hardwood flooring. The main bedroom features a walk-in closet and a cathedral ceiling with skylights, making this room bright and cheery. The hallway has a spacious cedar closet and a tastefully finished full bathroom. Back outside the home, you can just imagine the outdoor gatherings you can host on the patio or even under your covered carport. An attached workspace and storage area and a detached shed provide additional space for storing any overflow items. This charming home is within walking distance to Glenside Train Station, Keswick Village, countless restaurants, breweries, O'Neill's Market and more. Located in award winning Abington School District and sought after Copper Beech Elementary. Do not miss your opportunity to live in this charming home full of history!
