Quel Suprise! Tucked away in bucolic East Oak Lane at the City's Northern Gates, where Philadelphia kisses Montgomery County- discover this delightful Single Family Home with charm, graceful living spaces, and 3 stories of generous, colorfully welcoming rooms assembled to create a wonderful life for you and yours . A handsome facade greets with classic lines, a Mansard-styled Roof, a slated staircase ascent, and paned-glass Vestibule. Artful landscaping accents the terraced framing Patios, and its 2-Car Driveway. Tucked behind the private Fencing, find a vast Back Yard with an adorable covered Porch, Picnic Bench, floating Deck, and practical Tool Shed (last used as an outdoor Mini-Pub!) There's plenty of sun and space for growing your own food this Summer, then enjoy festive grill and chill time! The Joie de Vivre extends inside with sensitively refinished, pumpkin- hued original Pine Flooring throughout. Double-hung French Doors open on either side of the Center Hall to two inviting spaces. The tall-ceilinged, expansive formal Living Room is visually grounded with its stone woodburning fireplace and symmetrical artisan-built glass cabinetry, with surrounding soothing tones- just stunning! A playful 'Red' Room flanks this first level experience offering media respite or a moment to tuck away with a book in this more intimate space. A formal Dining Room serves with a Back Wing which includes a Full Bath, A Mud Room, a 2nd Staircase, and a fantastic renovated Chef's Kitchen. That "Pantry" is to die for, and the leathered Granite Countertops are just delish! User- friendly AND room for social life- this well-designed Kitchen is A+. The Lower Level has dry storage and work space galore for handy projects to be. The Second Level offers AMAZING closets and two Full Baths. Get lost in your extra large En Suite Primary Bedroom. A convenient, light-filled Laundry Room is a glorous thing. The Upper Level is a World unto itself with 4 additional Bedrooms, a Full Bath, plus an open space with curved entry and a whimsical window cut-out. Speaking of...updated Windows are installed, but architectural jewels are still intact throughout- such as the gorgeous carved Newell Post of the Staircase! Modern sophistication abounds with many freshly restored and painted walls, plus updated systems- which marry well with Old World Craftsmanship. A Commuter's paradise with a 5 minute walk to Melrose Park Train Station- then just 4 short stops to Center City via Regional Rail; or continue straight on to the Airport for a global perspective. Fantastic nearby Suburban shopping and amenities, enjoy lower City Taxes, plus a supportive Community of engaged neighbors- c'est tres magnifique!

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.
