1133 Coventry Ave, Cheltenham, PA 19012

This sun-filled, spacious center hall colonial features the superior craftsmanship of the past combined with a modern open floor plan and sparkling new kitchen. It’s located in a charming pocket community tucked between New 2nd Street and Ashbourne Road that was built to last by the renowned Orleans family in the 1950’s. Upon arrival, you are greeted by lush perennial landscaping featuring easy-care, established ground covers and a colorful, continually changing tapestry of flowering plants, shrubs and trees. The solid stone and double-layer brick exterior with its symmetrical bay windows invites you into a large, light-filled foyer flanked by charming matching archways leading to a bright living room with a marble-surround fireplace, and a dining room big enough for even the largest holiday meal—both rooms feature extraordinary woodwork and deep bay windows looking out on the leafy front yard and gardens. The kitchen is simply perfect, designed with the serious cook in mind, and it opens to a sunny Great Room with a cathedral ceiling and loads of windows so you can enjoy the mature shade trees in the securely fenced back yard that is filled with more gardens and a private, wooded natural area behind the fence. While outside, take a moment to listen to the charming trills of the resident songbird population. The deck is ready for your grill with its own natural gas line, and the large, solid-stone and brick terrace is perfect for summer entertaining. A wonderful half bath with fabulous tile work and a generous study/home office complete the first floor, which has gleaming hardwood floors throughout. Upstairs find more hardwood floors, four large bedrooms, two more fantastic, lovingly restored full-tile baths, a big cedar closet, lots and lots of closets and easy access to a fully finished attic that has enough space for all your storage needs. Throughout the home enjoy energy-efficient ceiling fans to compliment the central A.C. But don’t forget to check out the fully finished basement with another big Great Room--this one with a terrific retro wet bar and exercise and/or play area--a huge laundry room, another full bath, a garage and yet more convenient storage space. All of this in a friendly neighborhood in the desirable Cheltenham School District!
