Stunningly designed, lovingly renovated, classic single home, perched atop the hill in Roxborough is being offer to you. Dry stacked Wissahickon Schist stone wall and private driveway lead you to the front door of this lovely 3 story stucco & sided home with plenty of space inside and out. A blend of classic meets modern design throughout is more like new construction, yet with much more solid materials. Upon entry into the center hall, you are greeted by its elegant staircase facing you and a convenient half bath tucked beside it. To your left is a full length of the house LR with mantle and fireplace currently with an electric insert. There are double French doors to the front patio and triple windows on both sides that flood the room with light. To the right of the Entryway, you will find the DR which opens to the gorgeous new Kitchen with peninsula and counters of bespoke granite, plenty of high-end cabinets and SS appliances. All 3 floors (as well a lower-level laundry room) have luxury vinyl flooring to create a uniform and comfortable design element throughout the house. As you ascend the stairs there is a large window for bright natural light with 4 BR greeting you on the second floor. Each BR has windows on 2 sides. The Main BR accommodates a king size bed and closet with room to spare. One BR is used currently as a spacious play room with the other 2 large BRs, each with closets, and a generously proportioned newer hall Bath. As you continue up the stairs to the 3rd floor you will find 2 more large rooms spanning the length of the house, one used as a media room and the other a home office with large storage space. There is a new half bath on this level as well for your convenience, adjacent to a sitting area with views overlooking Roxborough.
