554 TWICKENHAM RD Glenside, PA 19038

Pure Perfection! Once in a great while, a home comes along with the perfect combination of upgrades & character that blend the old with the new in perfect harmony. Sited in the tight-knit community of Twickenham Village, there are great community activities including an annual yard sale, a Summer ice cream social & the Fall hayride & costume parade. Constructed in 1939 on one of the larger lots in the area (over 300' deep) that is surrounded by lush perimeter plantings to provide great privacy to the grassy areas. There is even a hidden hollow at the far end & a patio off the kitchen for outdoor dining & BBQ's. Set back from the road, you'll begin to appreciate the subtle details of this stone Colonial. Approach the entry down a paver pathway where a new custom wood storm door (with screen or glass inserts) in a soft pumpkin tone welcomes you. The original wood floors are in excellent condition. The living room flanks the Eastern side of the house, has a picturesque wood-burning fireplace, recessed lighting & windows on 3 sides, including a huge picture window overlooking the expansive rear lawn. The dining room occupies the Western side of the house. The heart of the home is where the architecturally designed upgrades take center stage. The Kitchen area provides numerous functions for modern, open-plan living, with a powder room, a wall of built-in bookshelves & an office/workspace, a large breakfast area (or a small family room if used that way), a mudroom and the kitchen itself. It's a model of efficiency with storage solutions designed for every area. Custom inset cabinets in a soft cream color are covered in beautiful soapstone counters. The professional appliances by Jenn-Air include a gas cooktop, a built-in wall oven, microwave & the dishwasher. The fridge is a Liebherr stainless steel unit. The tile work is just perfect & the custom backsplash appears to be a recycled fireback! A large bay window with seating cushions provides a great view of the back yard while a set of French doors provide direct access to the rear patio. Half of the basement has recently been finished to provide additional living space, while the remaining half provides additional storage & the laundry. There are 4 bedrooms & both bathrooms have been tastefully updated with modern penny-tile flooring & new fixtures while retaining the tasteful wall tiles. There is a pull-down staircase to access the floored attic for additional storage. This is the epitome of move-in ready!
