Description

The Stotesbury Townhouse community, in Wyndmoor, was built in the 1980's on the grounds of the Edward T Stotesbury estate. Remnants of its gilded age grandeur, such as marble columns, belvedere steps, and monumental statuary dot the rolling landscape, and give this contemporary community a sense of the past. The modest HOA fee keeps the tree-lined streets, the sidewalks, and the open green space manicured for all the residents. And buried utility lines mean it's more likely electricity will stay on when the inevitable bad weather hits. From the driveway , enter the large foyer with easy-care tile flooring. To the left is the living room with vaulted ceiling, and large front windows. As you walk toward the back of the house, overlooking open green space, you reach the bright dining room and a spacious kitchen with newer appliances. A large peninsula adds valuable work space and room for casual dining at the counter . There are large sliding doors to a spacious deck, that feels like a treehouse. Up the stairs, you land at a large balcony over looking the living room that lends an airiness and volume to the house that belies its 1500+/- square feet. (Interestingly, many homeowners in the community have created a third bedroom out of the that unbuilt space on the second floor.) The primary bedroom has a beautiful en suite bath and plenty of closets. A second hall bath serves the second bedroom, located at the front the house. The laundry is conveniently located on the second floor. The big surprise of the house is the large, finished basement with wood burning fireplace, and a large sliding door that leads to a stone patio. This bonus space is perfect for family gatherings, late night streaming, or raucous games. Off the finished space is unfinished basement area that is suitable for storage. The house has an attached one-car garage, great for additional storage or for an actual car! Located in desirable Springfield Township, Stotesbury is close to highways, regional rail, shopping, Chestnut Hill, and all the benefits of the near suburbs of Philadelphia. This is one that won't last long.
