A true Penn Valley treasure in a bucolic setting! History lovers will delight at the timeless charm and enduring details of this fabulous 1880's 6BR, 3.5 BA Colonial Farmhouse on 3/4 acres of mature trees and plantings tucked away in a quiet, cherished Penn Valley location. From the covered front porch, one of multiple exterior spaces to enjoy, enter the center hall with chandelier and original red pine floors. To your left is the sitting/living room with an enchanting window that converts to a door to allow access to the covered side porch capturing summer's best breezes. The sitting room leads to the study/office with wonderful woodwork and the first of 3 wood-burning stoves. Opposite the sitting room is the dining room with plate rail, chandelier, red pine floors and swing-door access to the kitchen. The kitchen provides peninsula seating overlooking the family room, granite counter tops, lots of oak cabinet storage, a gas stove, new stainless-steel dishwasher, marble back splash, and access to the newer 1st floor powder room and laundry/mud room with convenient exit to the driveway. The family room addition has quaint built-ins, a Vermont casting stove, and opens to the screened-in back porch with ceiling fan and skylights, perfect for bug-free evening relaxation. Up the center stairs is the primary bedroom with recently-updated en suite bath, wood-burning stove and walk-in closet with organization systems. Three additional carpeted bedrooms and a charming hall bath complete this level. The 3rd floor offers 2 more good-sized bedrooms, a hall bath, an office, a bonus room, and storage. The detached 2-car garage has been converted to an art studio with vaulted ceiling, heat, water, concrete floors and triple barn doors, but could easily be transformed back to a garage that houses cars. The character and charm of this home continues in the back garden/patio area behind the garage, and includes a shed and a foot bridge that steps down to the lower lot. With easy access to Philadelphia, award-winning Lower Merion schools, and all major highways, this home offers a nod to yesteryear with all the conveniences of modern living. 2021-12-07
