Property Description
Quietly nestled beyond a manicured Privet Hedge in leafy, lovely East Oak Lane, Philadelphia- encounter this magnificently updated 5+BR, 4 Full Bath, Turn-of-Century Manor with Carriage House, on a glorious 1/3 of an Acre! Your entrance is proudly announced through the two tall stone pillars of the Driveway; where curving Walkways, landscaped Gardens, and beckoning Wrap-around Porches warmly greet. The exterior strength and character of this Home is evidenced by the Artisan-built Wissahickon Schist foundational walls with visually dimensional Cedar Shake accents. Look above to the richly patinaed wood ceilings softened by gentle Summer fans for Porchtime revelry. Step into the generously-sized, enclosed, slated Vestibule with its punch of fun, stately red of the decorative doors elevating your entrance. Inside... enjoy a breathtaking experience with soaring living spaces accentuated by triple-arched plaster walls, ornate moldings, plus artfully placed decorative beamed ceilings to embellish the moments to come. There is gleaming honey-hued, original old-growth Oak flooring throughout- now refinished to handsomely serve your next chapter. Open and flowing, yet delightful tuck-away nooks too for soaking in the morning sun, or cozying up to the wood-burning fireplace. Another treasure is the step-down back Office flanked by stained glass windows. The grand Dining Room has a custom mural by a local Artist, with touches of lighting whimsy to accent. The re-designed Kitchen with sleek granite surfaces, and grounded by marble flooring- offers plenty of inviting social space and work stations, see the adjacent full available Bath and Laundry Room as well. The indoor/ outdoor entertaining options are endless at 1012 70th Avenue. The elevated Back Deck extending from the first level provides exhilarating views of the vast rear property and the well-maintained surrounding area. A lower Terrace allows for additional Al Fresco Dining. Find a huge Play Yard for wee and big kids alike; a fenced Veggie Garden with an adjacent hidden level for a more abundant harvest, if desired; and a very special Carriage House...It's own destination- after new windows, modified stately doors, and refreshed flooring- but all original charm maintained- Thank Goodness! Enjoy these two floors for entertaining, and privately tinker away on those prized wish-list projects.
Back inside...ascend the soaring staircase with beautiful Stained Art Glass throughout. The 2nd level offers TWO Primary Bedroom opportunities- each with a just-spectacular Bath to serve! One is ornately tiled with original clawfoot tub and offers irresistible charm. The other is a dream renovation employing all the modern comforts with its double-vanity sink, luxury jetted tub, plus a large and elegant Carrera marble stall shower.- Oh, My! Upstairs, discover 3 additional generous rooms, including another En Suite scenario. The Basement level provides tons of storage, and an opportunity to get creative- a Wine Cellar perhaps, or a Maker's Space...? Location is phenominal here with an actively engaged and supportive Community of neighbors who gathers to plant (and tap) local trees; plus support it's revered Oak Lane Library. There's a plethora of nearby grocery stores, charming adjacent suburban towns to shop and enjoy, plus Chestnut Hill is but 15 minutes along Philly's Northwest Corridor for additional restaurants, cafes, and parks. The walkable Regional Rail gets you to vibrant Center City in just 4 stops, or directly onto the Airport for your global connectivity... This rare and wonderful Home and Property is now available for immediate Sale- come experience an amazing Summer ahead, and a new dawn of lovely living!
