Description

You'll never want for any of life's little pleasures if you are the new proud owner of this amazing, architecturally pleasing 5 BR, 2 1/2 bath home in the Beverly Hills section of Upper Darby! What curb appeal! A real stunner! Ageless beauty, for sure! This home is your suburban oasis! There are only a few homes like this in the area, & they don't come up very often! Not only will you be blown away by the 1920's features, like arched windows, turned staircases, turret vestibule entry via the original wooden arched front door, alcoves, sunburst enhancements on many of the windows & textured plaster walls...but you will feel the vibe pouring out of every room as you roam through all 3 stories. It all comes from the owners, who have raised their family here over the last 45 years w/much love & devotion, & who have treated this place with the same love, taking care of every nook & cranny. The way #7205 sits up a bit high up on the street just adds to its elegance. The quality of workmanship is quite evident - the original stucco exterior decorated w/stone & brick accents, even on the stunning, capped chimney, the patios decorated w/floral touches that enhance the entry area, & the stately, front, cascading steps trimmed w/ wrought iron railings - just lovely! Some terms of endearment: beautiful hardwood floors, the quaint telephone inset in the front hall, lots of CF's & 7 window ac's, all banisters have been replaced & painted, many casement windows, dimensional shingled roof, a brick pathway that runs across the back yard, stone-trimmed window wells& wooden wainscoting. More perks-a spacious LR w/a gas stone FP (just inspected recently), a bright & cheery enclosed sunroom that makes you feel like you are sitting in a garden, a formal DR w/plenty of room for your family & friends, a bonus room ( now used as a music room, but could certainly be a den, an office or a playroom), a laundry room w/cabinets, shelving, a laundry sink & a folding counter, located just off the remodeled eat-in kitchen w/space for any size table, a double stainless steel sink, tile & glass backsplash, medium cherry cabinets, white appliances (including side-by-side fridge with ice maker, DW and gas stove). The back door leads out to even more surprises! A partially fenced, lush yard that comes complete w/a large, freestanding storage house w/shelving & a loft, a basketball stand & hoop, as well as a 24 ft diameter/4' high , well maintained above ground pool w/an inset for pool furniture. The entire pool deck is fenced, landscaped all around the base, & there is exterior lighting which makes for a peasant night time swim. The exterior of the house boasts accent lighting as well. Note the period-style windows at the turned staircase to the 2nd & 3rd floors. The staircases show off runners held by brass rods to match the throw rugs. Here on the 2nd floor you'll find the primary BR suite w/attached dressing room & a walk-in cedar closet, plus 3 other good-sized bedrooms. All the BR's boast walk-in closets, actually. The elegant, black & white tiled 4-piece hall bath shows off a deep tub, stall shower, vanity sink w/granite top & 2 period-style windows - very special! Take one more flight up on the extra wide steps to the spacious & gracious 3rd floor, complete w/the 5th BR showing off three half moon crescent windows & a large cream & rust open bonus room room. The 3rd fl bath is adorable! It features a bowl sink & clawfoot tub, deep closet and wainscoting. This top floor space would make a perfect suite for your teens or visiting guests.
