Meander down the flagstone walkway and relax a while on the large covered front porch before entering this remarkably energy efficient home in highly regarded "Glenside Gardens." Nestled amid mature shade trees, an expansive lawn and perennial plantings, this charismatic, 2-story brick colonial was solidly constructed in 1948 and has been fully updated for the 21st century, with a rare combination of both solar electricity (photovoltaic) and solar hot water systems, efficient heating and modern insulation - making your PECO bills a pleasure to open! The spacious light-filled rooms feature fresh zero-VOC paint in decorator colors, hardwood floors, charming arched entries and efficient updated windows. Relax in unparalleled comfort with lower heating and cooling bills, thanks to professional air sealing and insulating (2014) and a high efficiency, dual-fuel heating system: an Energy Star heat pump (2013) delivering central air, and an Energy Star Quantum 90 gas boiler that fires up a hot water radiator system. The beautiful, newly remodeled eat-in kitchen features new granite counters with undermount sink & disposal. New Bosch dishwasher, new refrigerator & microwave, recent 5-burner Frigidaire gas s/c range with convection oven and ample cathedral-top cabinets complement a spacious, sunny dining area. From the kitchen, walk though a lovely open arch to the handsome dining room with crown & decorative molding, which easily accommodates large formal or informal gatherings. For outdoor dinners, the kitchen opens to a beautiful shady raised deck, professionally custom-built in 2012 to provide many years of outdoor enjoyment. In the large, quiet backyard, relax under the full shade of a beautiful pergola, complete with outlets for your laptop. The house is also wired with a 200-amp panel and is Comcast cable & Verizon FIOS ready. The inviting living room boasts a brick WBFP with brass and glass doors, mantle, and tiled hearth. The 2nd floor features 2 hall baths (one with pedestal sink & tub plus separate tiled stall shower), 4 peaceful airy bedrooms, and generous closets. The expansive, unfinished walk-out basement, waterproofed in 2008, is lovely, clean, & DRY, with laundry hookups, large open area and a convenient 1/4 bath. Plenty of off-street parking including a front driveway, one-car garage and private back driveway accessible via a shared lane -all newly paved in 2014. This beautiful and energy-efficient home is truly one of a kind!
