Description

Tucked away on a quiet residential street in the heart of Lafayette Hill sits this hidden gem. Far from cookie cutter, this 3 bed, 2 bath charmer built back in 1900 sits on just about 1/3 of an acre, with nice size yards in both the front and the back, as well as a long flat driveway and a detached 2 car garage, the property and setting are way more than you would expect at this price point. As the story has been passed down from generation to generation, this home was built in 1900 right next door to the original parents home that was built in 1850, which is right next door to original homeowners grandparents home built in 1800. Upon entering the home’s foyer via the front porch, the character of the home just continues to impress. To the right is the original parlor room that is currently set up as a main floor bedroom, which works extremely well in this house with their being a full bathroom just steps away on this level. Beyond this flexible space are nice sized living and dining rooms, as well as a spacious kitchen that was expanded years ago to include easy access to back yard as well as to allow space for the eat in kitchen. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms, a full bathroom, and laundry. The 3rd level has room for expansion and has plenty of space if the next owner would like to finish it off for their own needs. With more charm and character than you will normally find, as well as a beautiful lot and setting, this one is not to be missed!
