Welcome to this exceptional, lovingly maintained ranch home, offered for sale for the very first time. Proudly owned by the same family since 1960, this one-owner residence has never before been on the market—a rare opportunity to own a truly special property.
Perfectly tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers the ideal combination of privacy, nature, and convenience. The backyard backs directly to the breathtaking Wissahickon Valley Park, creating a peaceful, wooded setting with beautiful views, unmatched privacy, and the soothing sounds of nature right outside your door. Despite its tranquil surroundings, the home is just approximately two miles from the charming shops, restaurants, cafés, and boutiques of Chestnut Hill.
Commuters will appreciate the excellent accessibility, with both the Richard Allen Lane and Upsal Regional Rail stations just a short walk or drive away, along with nearby bus service, providing easy access to Center City Philadelphia and beyond.
Inside, the thoughtfully designed main level offers comfortable one-floor living with three generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The home has been meticulously cared for and features a spacious, functional layout ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
The finished walk-out basement significantly expands the living space and offers exceptional flexibility. It features two separate finished rooms that can easily serve as a family room, home office, den, fitness room, playroom, or guest accommodations, along with a convenient half bath. Sliding glass doors provide direct access to the backyard, seamlessly connecting the indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Recent improvements provide peace of mind and modern comfort, including new siding (2026), a newer roof (2024), newer central air conditioning (2023), fresh interior paint, newly installed and refinished flooring throughout, new flooring in the basement, new windows in the two front bedrooms (2026), a new sliding glass door from the living room to the deck (2026), and new sliding doors from the walk-out basement (2026), brand new electric panel (2026)
Step outside to enjoy the spacious deck overlooking the beautifully landscaped, level backyard—a perfect setting for morning coffee, outdoor entertaining, or simply relaxing while taking in the scenic views of Wissahickon Valley Park.
Completing the home is an oversized two-car garage with additional storage space, offering practicality rarely found in similar homes.
Properties offering this combination of one-owner history, meticulous maintenance, modern updates, an extraordinary park-side setting, and an unbeatable location are exceptionally rare. Don't miss this once-in-a-generation opportunity to make this remarkable home your own.
