$465,000 3 The Knoll ROAD, Lansdowne, PA 19050

Professional photos coming soon! This 5 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home--including a 3rd-floor apartment with the option of a private entry--is situated on nearly 1.5 acres on a private road in a beautiful wooded setting, yet close to parks, bike trails, SEPTA transit, Lansdowne shops, restaurants, schools, major roads and amenities. This elegant and spacious home has large rooms, high ceilings, and beautiful original details that showcase craftsmanship and meticulous maintenance by the current owner. From the covered front patio, enter into the foyer. This room gives access through a double doorway to a study, den or office on the right. French doors to the study are in storage in the basement, in excellent condition. On the left side of the foyer, an impressive wide turned wooden staircase with a carved banister leads upstairs via an elegant landing. Also in the foyer is a convenient coat closet. Through the foyer you will find the large living room with a brick wood-burning fireplace. A bow window affords a lovely view over the wooded portion of property. This room also gives access to the bright enclosed porch which serves as a sun room or three-season room. This in turn leads to the expansive deck at the rear of the house, beautifully surrounded by mature trees and greenery. Back inside on the main level, the dining room is adjacent to the living room, separated by double pocket doors. There is an elegant built-in china cabinet in one corner of the dining room, and another bow window giving views over the wooded backyard. The eat-in kitchen was renovated in 2018. It is equipped with a luxury vinyl tile floor, cherry cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, overhead recessed lights, a double sink, glass tile backsplash and a breakfast peninsula. The kitchen also has access to the foyer of the home via a short convenient hallway, where the steps to the powder room and basement are also found. On the second floor, there are three large bedrooms and a full bathroom on the main landing. The bedrooms all have high ceilings, hardwood floors, large windows and good closet space. The two large bedrooms along the rear of the home share access to a second-story enclosed porch, brightly sunlit from 3 walls of windows. These two bedrooms also share a unique jack-and-jill-style closet with built-in shelves. The largest bedroom has it's own fireplace and ceiling fan. The bathroom on this level features a soaking tub and a walk-in shower, as well as a large vanity, built-in shelving, and a full ceramic-tile surround. Just beside the bathroom, a door leads down a few steps to the 4th bedroom, which has been used as part of the separate apartment, since it has access to a private entrance and staircase which lead to that apartment on the 3rd floor. This apartment has its own eat-in kitchen with a pantry closet, a living room, bedroom, walk-in closet, and a full bathroom with a stall shower and bathtub. The dry, clean, daylit lower level of the home offers great potential with two outside exits (one covered), large windows, a brick wood-burning fireplace, and plenty of storage space. The 2 furnaces have been meticulously maintained to keep the house well-heated. Solar panels help keep energy bills down. Outside the home, this property is truly one of a kind. Across the shared private drive, the lawn, flower beds, fishpond, over-sized one-car garage, vegetable garden and more all belong to this property. The front walkway and front patio are shaded by mature flowering shrubs, while behind the house a wooded slope leads down to Scottsdale Road and Darby creek beyond. The SEPTA Gladstone station with trains to Center City and Wawa is less than a mile away, as is Hoffman Park with its tennis courts, ball fields, and access to the Darby creek. Don't miss your chance to see this one-of-a-kind home! For showings, kindly park in front of the garage.
