Step into timeless character and effortless comfort in this meticulously restored 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath Colonial residence, originally constructed in 1758 and thoughtfully updated from 2007 through 2018. Nestled on a picturesque, fenced-in corner lot measuring over a third of an acre, this home is a standout blend of historic architecture and modern amenities — including central air conditioning.
A stucco-over-stone façade and professionally landscaped grounds set the tone, while a two-car garage and welcoming entrance along Division Avenue provide everyday convenience. Recognized as a historic resource by the Upper Moreland Historical Society, this residence reflects its origins as part of a larger farm predating the surrounding neighborhood.
Inside, 20-inch thick stone walls, deep windowsills, wide-plank hardwood floors, and handcrafted millwork deliver authentic period charm. A total of six wood-burning fireplaces are located throughout the home, beginning in the warm and inviting living room. The formal dining room offers built-in shelving, a pantry closet, and another working hearth.
The chef’s kitchen is both functional and stylish, featuring granite countertops, a tile floor, a Wolf range with stainless hood, soft-close cabinetry, a double farmhouse sink, Asko dishwasher, and stainless refrigerator. Just off the kitchen, a sunlit breakfast room with dual exits to the exterior flows naturally into a cozy family room adorned with exposed beams, custom built-ins, and yet another fireplace.
Two staircases — one in the front and a more discreet option off the family room — lead to the second level. The primary suite includes a working fireplace, ample closet space, and a spa-inspired bathroom with marble tile, a soaking tub/shower combo, and pedestal sink. Two additional bedrooms (each with fireplaces and ample storage) share a hall bath renovated with period-appropriate fixtures and finishes. A connecting bonus room offers flexibility as a home office, sitting room, or guest space.
On the third floor, discover an additional private office or bedroom, a game or playroom with dormer windows and cedar closet, and a fourth bedroom with en-suite bath — ideal for guests or extended family.
The lower level includes laundry facilities, a deep farm sink, and access to the backyard through Bilco doors. Outdoor living is just as special, with a two-tiered brick patio, mature trees offering shade and privacy, and a vegetable garden ready for summer harvests.
Key system upgrades include a newer roof, newer gas furnace, updated 200-amp electrical service, central air, and restored windows. Located just minutes from regional rail, parks, Willow Grove Mall, the PA Turnpike, and top-rated Upper Moreland schools, this exceptional home offers rare character with modern functionality.
