Tudor

Amazing architectural features abound in this unique Tudor house built in 1925. In the highly sought-after Merion Park Neighborhood and formerly owned by the DePasquale Family (those music buffs know Joseph DePasquale reigned for five decades as one of the great violists in the 20th Century), this home is rich with history and charm. The exterior boasts a gorgeous portico and entrance. High ceilings, stone walls, stained glass windows, gleaming woodwork and private yard are a few other noteworthy features. Entering the home you will find yourself in a large entry hall which opens into the Dining and Living Rooms. The wood paneled Living Room has a large fireplace, built-in cabinets and French doors which open onto an octagon shaped screened in Porch. The Dining Room, with an over-sized bay window, provides a gracious space for entertaining and living. Continue to the Kitchen and Breakfast Room which are intimate and conveniently open to a pantry/mudroom with easy access to the back patio. Climb the curving staircase and you will find yourself in a large hallway opening to an amazing "Harry Potter" style Family Room, complete with cathedral, beamed ceilings, built-in shelving, stained glass leaded windows and original copper fireplace hood! 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, a laundry room, and a large walk-in linen closet with original built-in cabinetry complete the 2nd floor. The unfinished Basement provides an abundance of storage space. A rare opportunity - this special home is ready for you to bring your personal touch and restore it to its former glory!
