Property Description
No expense was spared in restoring this turn of the century stone Victorian farmhouse located on beautifully landscaped grounds in desirable Old Wyndmoor. From the basement to the roof, this home has been carefully and purposefully renovated to preserve its original architectural features, while adapting to modern living. Constructed of Wissahickon schist from the former Mower Civil War hospital, this four bedroom home has all of the amenities a discerning homeowner is looking for: a large, modern kitchen with upper end appliances, granite counters and center island opening into the dining area complete with gas fireplace. Nine foot ceilings grace the first floor and gorgeous original pine floors are throughout the house. A stunning sun room stretches the entire width of the first floor and is the ideal spot for relaxing with a book overlooking the garden, dining or entertaining family and friends. Upstairs, find four light filled bedrooms and a four piece bath suitable for royalty with a pedestal soaking bathtub and carrara marble tiled rain shower. A wonderful dressing room and upstairs laundry closet complete the picture of this lovely home which is in move-in condition. Outside, a lush (yet low maintenance) landscape lit garden and koi pond, planned by the owner, a landscape designer, surround several flagstone patios, which allow for privacy and a feeling of being completely immersed in the natural setting. A side porch provides a wonderful place to relax, enjoy the birdsong and overlook the garden. A large stone carriage house, complete with cupola, serves as the garage with plenty of room for storage above and below. Additional upgrades to the home and systems include all new windows with custom made windows on the 3rd floor to replicate the historic originals, 2 zoned central air, complete re-wiring and re-plumbing, newer roofs, new high efficiency gas heater and hot water heater, and recent painting. Located within easy walking distance to the train and village of Wyndmoor as well as a short drive to the shops and restaurants of Chestnut Hill. This address is also within the popular Springfield township school system. When touring this special home and property, the care the owners took to do the proper job in serving its history while improving it for the future is evident in every corner.
