Why We Love This Home (But Are Selling It)
This is a house of amazing energy. An older home with many modern comforts, it has sheltered families for decades. It has the bones, the space and the flow to be your perfect family home, as it was for us. The location is incredibly convenient for both city, suburban and country access. Despite being just a few blocks from City Ave., Aberdale is a quiet refuge with friendly neighbors, huge trees and lots of children.
We'd love to stay, but a house this large for 2 people is just too big for us. We hope that it will once again be filled with the energy of a family, enjoying each other and life within the space it provides.
The Story
No roofing worries for years to come, care of the guaranteed new roof installed Fall 2017. Spend spring, summer and fall on the glorious enclosed front porch with spanish tile floor. Enjoy winter with real wooden fires in the spacious living room (or convert it to gas). Cook in a kitchen designed for cooks, on a Viking gas range and butcher block counter. Take a short stroll (1/4 mile) to the Cynwyd Trail. Take a longer stroll/run/bike (2 miles) to the incredible Wissahickon Valley. Enjoy endless hot water and the steady heat of a summer-winter oil fired furnace. Large walk-in storage attic on 3rd floor for all that stuff you don't want elsewhere. Take either car from the double-wide rear parking driveway, on a private (shared) street. Be parked in downtown Phila. in 15 minutes, or take either of 2 train lines (Cynwyd & Paoli), or one of several buses. Enjoy neighbors, and summer block parties on a quiet leafy street. Find your own ways to enjoy complex, distinct exterior spaces. Work or play in the office in rear of garage (could be removed at buyer's request) Walk to post office, library, LA Fitness, French International School, St. Joseph's and more.
