Nestled on a picturesque 1/3-acre lot, this enchanting 1918 Colonial Revival beautifully combines timeless architectural charm with thoughtful modern updates and exceptional versatility. This home is one of the architecturally significant homes featured as part of the Henry Albertson sub-division historic neighborhood. Boasting over 3,363 square feet of living space, this one-of-a-kind home offers 7 spacious bedrooms and 3 full baths, creating endless opportunities for multi-generational living, an in-law suite, income potential, or simply room to grow and entertain in style.
From the moment you step inside, you’ll be welcomed by the warmth and character that only a historic home can offer. Original details blend seamlessly with updated kitchens and baths designed for today’s lifestyle. The flexible first-floor layout features a stunning newly renovated kitchen with soft-close cabinetry, gas range, microwave, and a convenient counter bar that opens to a sunny breakfast room with desk area— the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee while conducting your computer communications.
The inviting living room, complete with a cozy wood-burning fireplace and crown molding, flows effortlessly to a bright screened-in porch through elegant French doors, offering the ideal place to relax and unwind, cool off during the summer months, read a book, or dine with family and friends. Interior French doors add to the charm and nostalgia of this home. A formal dining room accented with deep crown molding provides a beautiful setting for holiday gatherings and dinner parties, while the spacious family room just off the kitchen is perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. A generously sized first-floor bedroom and remodeled full bath with a walk-in shower complete the main level.
Upstairs, the second-floor features three generously sized bedrooms with abundant closet space, a private office, and a beautifully renovated full bath. The third-floor private suite offers incredible flexibility with its own full bath, optional second kitchen, and screened porch — ideal for guests, extended family, or a private retreat.
Hardwood floors grace much of the home, with additional hardwood waiting to be uncovered beneath the carpeting. The partially finished basement includes a large workshop, laundry area with folding station, and ample storage space for hobbies and organization. Lots of windows throughout the home bring in light and quiet ambience to every room.
Step outside to enjoy the expansively fenced yard with plenty of room for gardening, play, BBQs, social gatherings, lawn games or simply relaxing and enjoying the outdoors. A utility shed behind the detached 2-car garage with loft for added storage, and private driveway for even more convenience.
Zoned as a triplex, this property offers rare flexibility and outstanding potential for both homeowners and investors. Located in the William Penn School District and just a short walk to shopping and public transportation, this remarkable home offers the perfect blend of space, character, comfort, and opportunity.
Just a short 10-minute walk to the train, a 12-minute commute to University City and hospitals, and a 15-minute ride to Center City makes the need for a car unnecessary. The airport is accessible by rail and just a 20-minute drive from Lansdowne. With the home being located just outside the downtown area of the borough, you can walk to the newly renovated Lansdowne Theater for concerts, restaurants, shops, supermarkets, music venues, Farmer’s Market, and some of the 11 parks within the borough. (The historic Lansdowne Sycamore tree is believed to have germinated in the mid-1600’s and is located just a few blocks away in Sycamore Park.) With a vibrant arts community, many organizations within the borough host several indoor and outdoor events throughout the year. Schedule time to visit this exquisite historically built home.
