Welcome to this well-built, two-story center hall colonial that has been proudly cared for within the same family for more than 70 years. Upon entering the spacious foyer with coat closet, you’ll notice the expansive living room and dining rooms on either side. The living room with its high ceilings and grand stone wood-burning fireplace and mantel opens out to a bright, window-wrapped sunroom flanked by two pairs of French doors and ventless natural gas fireplace. Off the foyer to the right is the generously sized dining room with its wood floors with border inlay. With its own dining area alcove, the eat-in kitchen offers a separate food prep island, spacious custom cabinetry throughout, and powder room with window. A bright and airy bay window also opens out to the back yard with good visibility of the pool and yard from the kitchen prep area and sink. Upstairs from the foyer is a large landing off of four generously sized bedrooms. Three of the four bedrooms each have two roomy closets. In the vintage tiled bathroom a separate tub and shower stall are opposite the original pedestal vanity sink. The two back bedrooms have a good view of the backyard and pool, while one of the back bedrooms also has a door with walk-up access to a large, floored attic that could potentially be converted into living space. Updated wood replacement windows by Andersen are throughout the second floor. Back downstairs, the center hall leads either to the basement or back porch. The basement boasts tall ceilings, a washer, dryer, and laundry sink, a workshop area, and access to the backyard up the concrete steps though the Bilco door. At the center of the backyard oasis is a luxurious heated swimming pool and attached jacuzzi that has been well-maintained year-round by a local pool company. Surrounding the pool are carefully selected plants and shrubs for both beauty and privacy. At the rear of this fenced-in yard is a two-car detached garage with side entrance, two automatic openers, and extra storage above the ceiling via a swing down door. This charming colonial resides in the coveted Overlook Hills neighborhood where children can explore with an easy walk to the elementary school and Roychester Park, while also being easily accessible to public transportation, grocery stores, the Willow Grove Park Mall, and Abington Jefferson Hospital.
