Tudor, Traditional

The wait is over! A stunning & architecturally pleasing 5 BR, 4 1/2 BA stone, stucco & brick English Tudor home in the sought after Drexel Park section of DH has just entered the ranks of "active" status. (DP just celebrated it's Centennial in 2024.)The 2 zones of high velocity CA will be most welcome. The Lennox upstairs unit was installed 4/26. This home has all the "I want's "- size, well planned layout, timeless elegance, amazing period amenities, a 2-car attached garage ,a driveway for 8+ cars and it boasts authentic, welcoming curb appeal! Some not often seen original touches include several sets of French doors in the LR & DR, random width pegged floors on the 1st level, well-cared for hw's on the 2nd & 3rd floors, a door recessed into the back wall of the house where the milkman could leave the milk, a laundry chute , a PR in the hallway, interesting placement of the recessed radiators , many closets w/automatic lighting as you open & close the doors, & a back staircase off the kitchen that leads to the au pair quarters w/it's own full BA on the 2nd floor. Two BR's share a Jack & Jill bath. The 4th BR is carpeted. The 3rd floor is finished into a decent-sized space with a full BA & W/I closet. The possibilities for this room are endless-5th BR, office, exercise room. You decide! At the end of the front flagstone pathway, the 'chevron-styled' original front door w/stained glass opens to the lovely center hall & stained oak staircase.. The 4 diamond-shaped, lead glass, formal DR front windows are a sight to behold! The DR is so large that any size set would fit here w/no issues. The handles on the amazing 8-panel doors are either crystal, ceramic or very unique hammered silver (quite unusual). The spacious & gracious primary en-suite BR boasts 3 closets-one being cedar. The baths have original ceramic tile & deep tubs, however, upgrades have been made to fixtures & flooring in many cases. The month of June, 2026 brought 2 terrific upgrades to #522. The stucco was just painted, & the brick-colored architectural roof got a professional roof wash. Also, it hasn't been too long ago that the stone & brick on this home was hand pointed. The facade truly sparkles! The many windows in the oversized LR, which boasts a stone, gas FP w/a remote, bring in lots of natural light. There are receptacles carefully placed on the mantel over the bookcases that flank the FP for some added lighting for your holiday decor. The covered flagstone open front porch can be accessed by yet another set of French doors from the LR. Serenity comes to anyone who spends some time here. The kitchen, w/it's blend of traditional & modern features, is quite large. It shows off a period, wood-stained vintage display case/ breakfront, as well as loads of cherry cabinetry & a good-sized granite-topped island w/embedded cook-top. The backsplash is also granite, The appliances are stainless, & include a double oven, & the flooring is luxury vinyl plank. Just a few steps from the kitchen to the attached 2-car garage that houses a spare fridge. The new garage door ('26) comes w/a remote. There's a space out back to sit &gaze at the calming koi pond. The unfinished bsmt has several sections. The Dunkirk 75,000 BTU boiler ($17K) & 50 gal. Bradford White hot water heater are gas -fired. The electric is 200 amp circuit breakers. There is a roughed in area for a PR in the bsmt. All the window wells are covered w/wood. There are deep tubs in all the baths.
