6 S Llanwellyn Ave, Glenolden, PA 19036

Henry J. Scott was a Philadelphia-based Attorney that purchased 50 acres of land in 1886 and laid out the streets of his new development, Llanwellyn (Welsh for "Spring has Come"). The elegant Queen Ann Victorian that now sits at 6 S. Llanwellyn Avenue was constructed as a summer home in 1890 for Major J. Lewis Good. In 1944, the house was purchased by the parents of my client & has remained in their family up until now! Step onto the porch and step back in time! The foyer provides detailed Oak flooring, stained glass windows and a round room in the turret. Pocket doors provide privacy to the living room, which has a gas-burning fireplace. In keeping with the period of the home, replica wallpaper from the Victorian era graces many of the walls with tasteful designs. The dining room has a bay window overlooking the side yard & views out the back. The Kitchen was completely updated in 2005. It was a fitting renovation, incorporating all the modern conveniences (radiant floor heating, recessed lighting, modern appliances, etc.) while respecting the architecture with exposed shelving, pot racks & soapstone counters. The laundry room was moved up to the 1st floor and now is in the rear mudroom. Central A/C was installed throughout all 3 floors of the house in 2004 with 3 separate zones. The entire house was also re-wired! The majority of the windows were replaced (1st & 2nd floors with Pella Architectural Series). The 2nd floor has 4 separate bedrooms and an updated hall bathroom. Surprising for the period, the closets are quite large. One of the 2nd floor bedrooms has a lovely round sitting area within the turret. On the 3rd floor, 2 smaller bedrooms were combined to create one very large suite tucked up under the roof rafters. There is a craft room/office that has a full height door to the 3rd floor balcony on top of the turret! A small storage room could also serve as another office or work-out room. There is a huge walk-in closet just outside the completely remodeled full bath with a glass enclosed stall shower. Tucked off the mudroom and the wrap around porch is a small slate patio which is the perfect location for the BBQ. The detached 2-car garage is conveniently located just off the rear. As one wanders onto the grounds, there is a large storage shed. The entire property is level and the rear half of the grounds is a wide open field of grass. So many options to add a swimming pool, create a home garden or even plant a small fruit orchard!
