The exterior setting is equally impressive, featuring multi-level bluestone patios, a recently resurfaced in-ground pool, mature plantings, lush landscaping, and an exceptionally private, park-like setting. Classic natural materials - brick, stone, and wood - combine to create a timeless aesthetic that perfectly complements the surrounding wooded landscape. Recent improvements include a full roof replacement with a 25-year warranty (2024), newer air conditioning unit, upgraded electrical service, and new hard-surface flooring throughout the lower level. Offering a rare combination of serenity, privacy, and convenience, this exceptional property is located in the highly regarded Abington School District, with easy access to Center City Philadelphia and just minutes from parks, restaurants, and shopping.
