The 'Arts and Crafts' Movement of the late 19th and early 20th Century emphasized 'hand-crafted quality and artistry; honesty and simplicity...' Now offered in leafy, lovely historic East Oak Lane, Philadelphia- is a stunning example of this classic Architectural design- sensitively restored and improved upon to meet today's exacting standards. This handsome 4+ BR, 2 B Home with Central AC, Off-street Parking, and its generous, private Rear Yard on a 1/4 of an Acre- is just fantastic! Wissahickon Schist stone pillars offer a strong & hearty 'Welcome' from the friendly Front Porch. Beautifully painted with authentic colors- the symmetrical exterior shapes, features, and materials of this 'Four Square' construction model- delight, and bring hand-crafted order to a mass-produced world. When constructing the added rear Deck, 'Brazilian Cumaru' was imported for it's hard-wood durability. With a recently added Hot Tub and sizeable lounging area, with both covered and sunny exposure- this Cool perch offers great views of the multi-dimensional spaces of the rear land, with its just-completed, surrounding wire-fencing. A gardener's paradise- raised beds for urban farming are attractively placed to create a more formal look in the open yard area for plenty of socializing; then playfully meander to the more private back shaded area to a hammock and firepit. A Folly of an original stone structure triggers the imagination for new uses- an Alfresco Dining area strung with lights...? Heading inside, note the stunning high-end Marvin casement windows echoing the properties geometric patterns- a theme repeated throughout and found in the selected Artisan light fixtures as well. A remarkable Foyer stunningly greets as you enter the Home- where intricate paneling, milled Staircase rails, and a carved Newell Post have all been carefully stripped of decades of tired past paint- now revealing richly patinaed, old-growth, quarter sawn Oak. An adjacent visually stunning Dining & Living area with custom bookshelves, free-standing gas fireplace, and deep windowsills- extends further to connected double- spaced Kitchen and Pantry Rooms. Customization abounds using only the very BEST (and local) materials, gleaming Bucks County Soapstone Countertops, a handcrafted cast iron Bluestar oven sourced from Lancaster County, PA; a Liebherr Fridge, Miele Dishwasher, and Uline Wine Cooler serve a Chef's needs. High- intensity, strand-woven Bamboo flooring is underfoot, and respectful designer faucets and cabinetry accents finely finish this versatile cook, prep & gathering space. A collected stained glass crown over the bold green back door- is a magnificent touch. Ascending either the back stairs or the front- rest easy knowing the house has been fully re-wired w/ 200 Amp service added. Soothing muted tones grace the walls of the exciting second level lay-out. A large Primary Suite has a large Dressing/ Sitting Room- retire restfully through the French doors to adjacent BedRoom. An expanded Designer Bath captures the style of the home with its paneled wood ceiling, stained glass, and well-chosen double-sink cabinetry; yet steps up the spa-like experience with a soaking tub 'for two,' with walls beautifully tiled for the ages. Across the Hall- there are three separate flex spaces- for Office, Family, Work Studio, or Bedrooms... The exciting back Addition streams with light- or pull the handsome shutters closed to create a cozy movie night in front of the free standing gas fireplace. Upstairs, find another Suite for Bedroom/ Artist Studio options. A clever clawfoot tub teases a good soak after your work-out in the adjacent Gym area. A commuters paradise, walk or ride to the nearby Regional Rail/ Subway Station. A plethora of shopping & dining options abound in the directly adjacent Suburbs of Montgomery County: Acme, Giant, Trader Joe's Wholefoods, H-Mart...Biking & walking trails along Pennypack or just 15 minutes to Valley Green in Chestnut Hill.
