Four generations have called this Ardsley house home, filling it with memories, traditions, and laughter that still seem to echo through its walls. Tucked on a quiet street in one of Glenside’s most cherished neighborhoods, this home offers the rare combination of move-in comfort and the opportunity to make it your own over time. Step through the front door into a bright and spacious living room that has hosted countless gatherings.

This leads to the generously sized Eat-In Kitchen and access to the back yard. On the first floor you’ll also find the ultra Charming primary bedroom and full bath. Upstairs, two nicely sized bedrooms and a full bath, the larger of which includes a walk-in closet, while the second bedroom’s proportions allow for endless possibilities—whether a peaceful retreat, creative studio, or shared space. Downstairs, the walkout finished basement tells its own story. A vintage bar, as charming today as it was decades ago, still feels alive with the warmth of friends gathered around. The expansive recreation room is perfect for game nights, movies, or hobbies, while the laundry and utility rooms offer everyday practicality. Outside, a covered patio invites quiet mornings with coffee or lively summer dinners. The backyard, paired with a large storage shed and private driveway, makes for a space that’s both functional and welcoming. 708 Monroe Avenue is more than just a house—it’s a place to settle in right away while envisioning the updates and personal touches that will make it uniquely yours.
