This beautiful stately renovated Drexel Hill colonial has been largely renovated with care, love and a true eye toward style! From the outside - a well-maintained magnificent stone colonial, emblematic of the homes you just LOVE in Drexel Hill with gorgeous lines, lots of style...and on the inside - a beautifully and thoughtfully updated 5 bedroom 4 bath - maximizing modern updates while keeping the traditional look and feel of an early 1900s home. Upon entering the foyer you'll note the beautifully refinished dark oak floors, the neutral color scheme, the amazing amount of natural light which enters - these are BIG rooms and the visibility is impressive. To your left, an expansive family room complete with wood burning fireplace, built-ins, all the classics - with the addition of LED recessed lighting, and the look and feel which just simply says WOW. Keep walking - you'll enter the sun room - currently set up as an office and gym, which could be your next library, sitting room, the possibilities are endless - and so are the windows! Off the foyer to the right is a huge dining room, replete with more windows and natural light, and the open floorplan connects smartly with the kitchen - a large practical space with endless white cabinets, a beautiful white subway tile backsplash, and completed with granite counters, plus a full array of stainless steel appliances. The beautiful tile floor accents perfectly, as does the bar height eating area for more casual dining! A well updated powder room completes the first level. Upstairs you'll find the first bedroom level, including the well appointed primary suite - including the huge bedroom, massive closet, and a brand new primary bathroom, featuring a stand-alone tub with tub filler, a large frameless glass shower, double sink vanity, and beautiful floor tile! Two additional large bedrooms and a well updated full bathroom complete the 2nd floor. Even the stairwell is cool - and as it takes you to the third level you'll see the final two bedrooms - each with beautiful ceiling lines from the large dormers. Downstairs, a large partially finished basement also includes a large storage room and the laundry room which houses the exit to the outside. A detached two-car garage can be updated to anything your heart desires. Is your heart racing yet? Because you just found your new home. Let's make it happen!

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.
