Welcome to 1001 Ormond Avenue, offering a wonderful combination of timeless design, with a rare opportunity for expansion, in the heart of Delaware County’s beloved Drexel Hill. This stately stone Colonial stands as a proud testament to classic architecture and thoughtful stewardship. The current owners have lovingly preserved and enhanced this spacious home, investing in major updates with care and quality top of mind. A newer roof, energy-efficient windows, basement waterproofing, and central air conditioning bring modern comfort and peace of mind, while honoring the home’s original craftsmanship and character. A warm and welcoming interior greets you with gleaming hardwood floors, custom millwork, and a well-designed layout that perfectly balances function and charm. Whether you curl up by the fireplace in the spacious living room, enjoy a good book in the sunroom, entertain in the elegant dining room, prep meals in the cheerful kitchen, or relax on the flagstone patio with views of your lush yard—every space feels homey. What truly sets this property apart? The rare and spacious extra lot. This coveted feature offers a unique opportunity to expand your living space in a way that few homes can. Imagine extending the kitchen into a large, light-filled family room addition—perfect for modern living and entertaining. Beyond that, the lot easily accommodates plans for a pool and cabana, a dedicated play area, or a lush garden retreat with a greenhouse. The possibilities are endless and exciting. Upstairs, the generous primary suite features a walk-in closet and a nicely updated ensuite bath with a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms share an updated hall bath, and the fourth bedroom is a finished attic retreat, a sunlit escape with a wall of windows, and charming bench seating overlooking the backyard. Square footage is far more than noted on public records, please see floor plans with details. The basement is partially finished and waterproofed, offering even more flexibility with a laundry area, workshop, and room for a home gym, hobby room, or entertainment area. This isn’t just a house—it’s a legacy in the making, ready for its next chapter.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
