About the Listing RMSERVS - 3171885

John Quincy Adams was President when the original part of this stately farmhouse was built in 1829. Additions were made in 1906, 1927, and 1960, resulting in the spacious property that exists today. This home is flooded with sunlight and has beautiful natural oak woodwork and hard wood floors throughout. The first floor offers a living room, a den, a large dining room with a wood burning fireplace, a kitchen with natural gas cooking and a butlers pantry and laundry area, a half bath, an enclosed side porch, and numerous Dutch doors. The second floor has four large bedrooms, one with an attached office that could also be used as a nursery, along with a full bath. The third floor has three more bedrooms, a storage room, and another full bath. There is a slate roof, and a newer boiler and water heater. The grounds are breathtaking. Out back there is a slate patio below a stunning pool that is perfect for cooling off in the summer and entertaining. The yard, one of the largest in the area, is expansive on both the side and to the rear of the property and has many beautiful natural plantings. The location can't be beat. The shops and restaurants at the Top of the Hill are within walking distance and a couple of blocks in the other direction the road takes you to one of the most tranquil spots in the Wissahickon Valley, where the Tedyuscung statue sits atop Council Rock. Septa regional rail is within couple of blocks for an easy ride to Center City and the Turnpike and Blue Route are a short drive away.
