Rarely available mostly stone warmly cottage-like colonial in well located community of Deerhurst looks great from the street, is gracious inside and is being offered by longtime owner of almost 50 years. Generous room sizes, excellent floor plan for entertaining, handsome replacement windows throughout, plaster walls, original oak hardwood floors,… Read More security system. Gas furnace and central air replaced in 2021, according to NCCO permits. Slate entry path (needs a bit of mending) and front stoop. Welcoming entry foyer and classic center hall. Large living room with wood burning fireplace (has outlets on mantle) with adjacent accent lights and with access to private screened side porch (also has outlets). Good sized sunny formal dining room. Expanded eat-in kitchen with extensive pantry type storage, cabinets and shelving and with side door to fenced yard and rear door to attached garage. Family room/den with deep storage closet and with cozy vintage paneling and bookshelves once had extensive sound equipment and hookups and could be a great office or hobby room. A handy entry closet and a powder room complete the comfortable first floor. Upstairs there is a main suite with walk-in closet, ceiling fan and an expanded bath as well as 3 other good sized bedrooms and a tile hall bath. The attic has pull down stairs and flooring for even more storage. The basement has been waterproofed, has an air cleaning system, has the remnants of a darkroom, a large unfinished utility area with washer and dryer hookups as well as bilco door covered stairs to the outside. Nicely landscaped lot is fenced (missing one panel of stockade). Plenty of off street parking in the back in addition to the garage space. Walk to community's play equipment and vegetable garden in Ward Park, or to Gardner Park, usual recent location of the Easter Egg Hunt. Deerhurst is well planned and well built by Percival and Joe Johnson, and has an active civic association (voluntary dues and street snow removal fund of $55) which facilitates community events at Halloween (huge in Deerhurst), the winter holiday decorating contest, as well as occasional block parties and other activities. Unbeatable location for easy access to the Philadelphia Airport (under 30 minutes), Septa, Amtrak, bus lines, offices and entertainment in Wilmington and Philadelphia as well as I-95 and 202. County parks, golf courses as well as Nemours' highly regarded children's hospital are nearby. In a pinch, walk to Fairfax Shopping Center for an Acme, banks, drugstores and restaurants.
