Property Description
This exceptional Victorian residence, built circa 1891, has been meticulously restored and thoughtfully updated, blending historic character with modern comfort. Original architectural details including decorative woodwork, pocket doors, high ceilings, and period-inspired finishes are complemented by extensive improvements throughout the home. The spacious first floor features beautiful new red oak hardwood flooring, a gracious foyer, two inviting parlors, and a formal dining room, all showcasing distinctive period details. The back parlor features an elegant fireplace with a gas insert, while the custom kitchen offers solid wood cabinetry, a center island, and abundant storage. A private first-floor office provides a flexible workspace, and a cleverly concealed door in the first-floor powder room opens to reveal a full bath with a private shower area. The second floor offers three generously sized bedrooms, a renovated bath with separate bathing and laundry areas, while the third floor has been transformed into an impressive primary suite featuring a sitting area, custom bathroom, dressing room, cedar closet, coffee bar, and private turret porch. Behind the scenes, the home has been extensively modernized with updated electrical service, replacement windows, central air conditioning, a high-efficiency boiler with three-zone heating, added insulation, renovated plumbing, and numerous structural and cosmetic improvements. Outside, enjoy the inviting front porch, mature landscaping, expanded driveway, garage, and fenced yard. Just 15 minutes from University City, the International Airport, and I-476, Lansdowne offers small-town charm with easy access to Philadelphia, along with a vibrant downtown featuring shops, restaurants, a farmers market, The Historic Lansdowne Theater, and convenient regional rail service. This is a rare opportunity to own a home where historic craftsmanship has been carefully preserved while major systems and living spaces have been thoughtfully updated for today's lifestyle.
