Built in 1895

On the open market for the first time in decades! An exceedingly rare opportunity to own an Arts & Crafts style home designed by William Lightfoot Price in 1894. Nestled in an historically designated section of Overbrook Farms this gorgeous and lovingly maintained home features 7 bedrooms, including an in-law suite, and 3 1/2 bathrooms spread over 3400+ square feet. The thoughtfully designed first floor offers a welcoming layout with a living room, sitting room, a formal dining room and a stylish, vintage kitchen. Both the living room and sitting room are home to handsome fireplace mantels. The laundry room, half bath and butler's pantry provide practicality for everyday life. On the second floor is the primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. You will also find three more spacious bedrooms and another full bathroom. All the way up top, on the third floor is an in-law suite with a full kitchen along with two more bedrooms and the third full bathroom of the house. For your comfort there is recently updated dual zone heating. The home's exterior is equally impressive with a wrap-around stone porch perfect for relaxing and entertaining. Fenced in by a beautiful wrought iron fence, the rear of the yard holds a partially covered deck for yet another place to relax under towering old growth trees. Perhaps the pièce de résistance of the property is the detached two story, two car garage/carriage house. The ground floor of the carriage house has ample space to park two cars or use as a workshop. Exuding great warmth the second floor with its wood finished walls and ceilings provides the perfect environment for a workspace/studio. It also has a powder room and is plumbed for a full bathroom should you want to install one. Any way you look at it the possibilities are endless. Located on a surprisingly quiet street with easy access to I-76 and all the city and Main Line have to offer this gem of a house is waiting for you.
