Extraordinary Wissahickon Schist Colonial Across from McMichael Park.
This stately Center Hall Colonial offers timeless character, generous living space, and an unbeatable location in East Falls. Beautiful oak floors flow throughout, greeting you upon entry. The spacious living room spans the full depth of the home, filled with natural light from three exposures and anchored by a handsome gas fireplace. Across the hall, the formal dining room features chair rail, abundant windows, and a new chandelier. The bright, modern kitchen opens to a comfortable family room and breakfast nook, complete with granite counter tops, double wall ovens, stainless steel cooktop, dishwasher, disposal, and breakfast bar. A convenient powder room is tucked behind the dining nook. The Steinway Grand Piano in the family room is available for sale. From the side mudroom, enjoy easy access to the fenced patio and covered porch—perfect for entertaining or relaxing. This side yard also includes the driveway and attached garage, while a second, expansive fenced backyard behind the garage offers endless gardening or play space amid mature specimen trees and shrubs. Upstairs, you’ll find four generously sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite that spans the entire side of the house with windows on three exposures and an ensuite bath. Each additional bedroom is bright with windows on two sides, and one serves as a walk-through room. A full, floored attic with built-in storage and brand-new central A/C equipment provides exceptional storage or expansion possibilities. The finished lower level adds even more flexible living space, along with abundant storage. Freshly painted throughout, this home blends original details—woodwork, floors, and deep windowsills—with thoughtful updates for modern living. Set directly across from McMichael Park playground, the home enjoys serene views and walkable access to Midvale Train Station, East Falls’ shops and restaurants, Jefferson University, Penn Charter, and just minutes to Center City.
