Property Description

Welcome home to a classic three story Stone Colonial set high on a raised corner lot at Woodlawn and Melrose Avenues, where old world charm and craftsmanship meet the space and flexibility today’s buyers want. Lovingly maintained and in mint condition, this home offers 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 2 half baths, with room for everyone, and then some. Step inside and the details speak for themselves: gleaming hardwood floors, decorative moldings and the kind of character that simply isn’t built anymore. The living room centers on a wood burning fireplace framed by built in bookshelves, the perfect spot for cozy fall evenings. Host holiday dinners in the formal dining room, bathed in light from its large bay window, then retreat to the sunroom with its built ins and French doors. A powder room off the foyer keeps guests comfortable. The galley kitchen is built for real cooking, with two ovens, a breakfast nook, solid surface counters, dishwasher, refrigerator and disposal. A mudroom connects you directly to the garage and rear patio, so groceries and muddy boots never touch the main rooms. Upstairs, the floor plan truly stands out. Two second floor bedrooms each offer their own en suite bath and walk in closet, and one opens directly onto a large rear deck for morning coffee overlooking the garden. The third floor bedroom has its own full bath, ideal for guests, a home office or a private retreat. The finished basement adds a family room with a bar, laundry area with a half bath, storage and an outside entrance. Outside, the rear garden is a true little oasis, a private retreat you’ll want to spend every evening in. Relax on the rear patio, unwind in the Jacuzzi hot tub with privacy curtains, and enjoy the large fenced yard. A 2 car garage, large driveway, whole house generator and an unfinished attic with a cedar closet and extra storage complete the package. Enjoy easy access to Melrose Park, Cheltenham Township Park and Ogontz Field, plus nearby shops, dining and regional rail. An HWA Home Warranty is included for added peace of mind. Homes with this much character, craftsmanship and condition do not come along often. Schedule your private showing today!
