This rare French Colonial treasure is nestled into an oasis of greenery in an idyllic, "secret" corner of Philadelphia. Enter through an expertly landscaped front lawn through the welcoming arched portico with fine, handsome dark-stained tongue-and-groove ceiling, into the Foyer with stained glass windows, finely plastered walls. The cozy but ample Living Room with beamed ceilings and Wissahickon Schist wood burning fireplace, overlooks the magnificent garden with it's bay, wood-framed windows w/ subtle brass accents. Extending through the French doors, an outdoor covered terrace awaits. The adjacent formal Dining Room invites, and the connecting expertly-designed Kitchen utilizes every charming inch for comfortable, smart and gracious living. A sumptuous back lawn & garden is framed by a freshly painted picket fence, and a magnificent well cared for 100 year old tree beckons and offers a fun frolic, and a shady repast on the slate patio. Wonderful walk-up attic space spurs the imagination for play, storage, or a quiet getaway. Large, open Basement w/ tall ceilings. LOW City Taxes, but fantastic Suburban shopping and amenities are a stones throw away in Montgomery County_ best of both worlds! Commuter's paradise w/ nearby access to Subway or Regional Rail lines.
