Renowned for its architecturally significant homes as well as sense of community, this coveted section of Drexel Hill features timeless properties like this beautifully crafted, spacious 5BR, 2.5 Bath Brick Colonial. You will be proud to pull up to this stately, yet charming home, where the curb appeal is evident with perfectly pointed brick, colorful landscaping and tasteful black shutters. Features such as half-moon windows, arched doorways, built-in bookcases, a transom, and ornate woodwork are found throughout this classic and timeless residence. Pull up the driveway to find the front entrance on the side of the home- one of the features that the owner loves, as it makes for a private entrance as well as a nice area to sit and enjoy morning coffee. Enter into a grand center hall foyer space, flanked by beautiful archways, crown molding and exquisite natural hardwood floors that flow throughout the home. Turn to the left to find the spacious formal living room with a double-sided wood-burning fireplace with stunning mantel and built-in shelving and cabinetry. Adding to the “informal” living space is a 26x11 family room with fireplace, walls of windows for natural light- this is a true bonus as it allows for many possibilities, such as a kid’s playroom, TV room, office space- purpose as you wish! On the right side of the foyer is a formal dining room with a large picture window and chair rail, as well as a “bonus” pantry closet. Closet space is a feature of this home that you will appreciate- from a hall coat closet to spacious closets in every bedroom to an easy to access attic space, you will be impressed by how much storage space is offered throughout. Next to the dining room is a bright and modern eat-in kitchen equipped with 42" cabinetry, a custom wine rack, ample countertop space, and updated appliances to include a 5-burner stainless-steel gas range. There is plenty of room for a large table and a shelving unit if you wish in this 24x9 space. The “flow” for entertaining is ideal, as there is a door right off of the kitchen to a 12x16 “low-maintenance” composite deck, installed in 2007. A level side and rear yard offers plenty of space for outdoor games and play. Finishing off the main level is a “tucked away” powder room for convenience. A turned staircase leads to three generously sized bedrooms on the second floor and two additional bedrooms on the third, all boasting hardwood flooring, neutral wall colors and abundant closet space. The primary bedroom is 25x13 and offers dual closets and plenty of natural light from the plethora of large windows. Two “vintage” tiled bathrooms are offered on each level, staying true to the style of the home. The basement level is accessed from the kitchen and offers a washer, dryer and laundry tub, as well as MORE storage space! Another neat feature of this home is a former garage that is now purposed as a shed, the ideas for this space are endless! The location of this home is ideal for so many reasons….the (optional) Drexel Park HOA hosts year-round events and activities, providing excellent opportunities to connect with neighbors, and the convenience to shopping, Center City, the quaint downtown of Media, the airport and the SEPTA 101/102 trolley line are just a few of the features you will enjoy about living at 531 Gainsboro Road. Between the space of the home, the old-world charm combined with modern amenities and the location, you will be happy to call this your home sweet home.
