This stately Georgian colonial sits proudly on a large half-acre lot on a quiet street in Twickenham Village. Its elegant curb appeal is matched by its equally beautiful interior. Enter into a brick cobblestone foyer with two coat closets. A spacious living room that will easily entertain any size gathering features large windows that flood the room with natural light, gleaming hardwood floors and a cozy fireplace for cold winter nights. The formal dining room includes custom corner built-ins and french doors leading to a patio. But the heart of this home is the large updated kitchen, which includes custom Shaker cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a large center island -- the family chef will have plenty of space to cook while enjoying the company of family and friends! A large walk-in fireplace adds charm and character as well as purpose, with one side that is gas burning and another that is wood burning. The first floor is completed by a classic study with wet bar and built-ins, a powder room and laundry room. On the second floor, you will find a generous master bedroom with ensuite bath and plenty of closet space. This floor includes three more spacious and bright bedrooms as well as a hall bath. The walk-in attic provides ample storage for excess items, holiday decorations, and more. Finally this gem includes a large partially finished basement and 2 car garage. As if all this was not enough, the huge private rear yard is fully fenced and offers the perfect location for grilling, sitting around a fire pit, or entertaining, all while enjoying the serenity of this beautiful neighborhood. A custom canvas awning ensures that this outdoor space can be enjoyed in both rain or shine. As an added bonus, this well-established, friendly neighborhood has special events scheduled throughout the year by its local neighborhood association. This location also allows for stress-free access to some of the area's best private schools, including Springside Chestnut Hill, Germantown Academy, LaSalle College High School and Germantown Friends. Close to bicycle and walking trails of the Forbidden Drive in Fairmount Park, restaurants and shops in Chestnut Hill, the Philadelphia Cricket Club and only a short 25-minute drive into Central Philadelphia and 90 minutes to Manhattan. Conveniently located near Route 309, The PA Turnpike, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and Keswick Village and a one-mile walk to the Glenside Train station.This one is not to be missed!
