The opportunity you have been waiting for is here. Designed by renowned Architect Arthur T. Smith for Mrs. G Hilliard English, this classic and elegant home is located on the prestigious The Oak Road in East Falls. Homes on this coveted street are rarely available, making this a unique opportunity to live in one of the neighborhood’s most desirable locations. This gracious residence boasts a truly grand vestibule entrance and a striking front door that serves as a true statement piece upon entry. The spacious living areas have high ceilings, abundant natural light, and hardwood floors throughout, offering a blend of modern updates with classic charm. An ultimate gourmet kitchen, featured in Philly Magazine, comes complete with custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and a large island – perfect for entertaining. The formal dining and living rooms are elegant and timeless and the cozy enclosed porch offers the perfect space to curl up with a book. The beautifully landscaped grounds feature perennial blooms and a private backyard, ideal for outdoor gatherings or serene relaxation. A finished basement with new flooring makes the perfect play space, home gym, or home theater, along with additional basement storage and laundry area. An attached two-car garage, plus additional driveway parking offer plenty of room for you and your guests. The first level includes a flexible office/bedroom and full bathroom just off the kitchen, which can easily be used as a private first floor suite. Upstairs you’ll find four bedrooms: a primary suite with attached dressing room, walk-in closet and custom bathroom; a second suite with elegant fireplace, walk-in closet, full bathroom and balcony overlooking the backyard; and 2 additional bedrooms flank an additional full bathroom. And you can move without a care because the home boasts new windows (2023), new roof (2018), well maintained mechanical systems and a dual zoned AC system. Situated in the heart of East Falls, this home offers easy access to scenic walking and biking trails, two SEPTA regional rail lines, shopping, bars and restaurants of Manayunk and Chestnut Hill, all while being minutes away from Center City. The Oak Road is known for its tranquility, mature trees, and stately homes, making this a once-in-a-lifetime chance to live in a location where properties rarely become available.
