Property Description
This is a truly unique opportunity to own a special piece of History! Believe it or not, from 1908 to 1940, the "Sears Catalog" of Sears, Roebuck & Co helped over 70,000 individuals realize their dream of home ownership by delivering mail order kit houses (before the Internet)! In 1930, this charming 2-bed, 1-bath "Starlight" bungalow was constructed in Flourtown. Its historical significance and quality construction has stood the test of time - and today it is offered for sale as the best priced home in Whitemarsh Township on East Valley Green Road, in the Colonial School District. As you arrive at the property, you are greeted by the home's full width covered front porch. As you open the front door, you enter the living room and are transported to the calm sensation of days gone by. Natural light floods the high ceilinged, freshly painted neutral rooms, with wide original millwork and rustic hardwood floors. The dining room features a charming built-in corner cabinet. A hallway to the right of the dining area leads to two bedrooms and the bath. The front bedroom, currently used as an office, features a large double rod closet that could alternately be outfitted with shelves or lateral files for office storage. The main bedroom is also has a generous sized closet! A swinging door from the dining room connects to a spacious eat in kitchen with two pantries. A mudroom adjacent to the kitchen leads to the cellar staircase as well as to the back door that exits onto a covered slate tiled porch. There's plenty of room for storage in the basement, along with a convenient washer and dryer. The park-like grassy backyard features spectacular trees that frame the end of the driveway, a detached 1 car garage (with brick floor!) and extra parking. In the very back of the property is a concrete pad could serve as another patio. Enjoy a quick stroll to Valley Green Park, or head over to the Green Valley Trail or the new Flourtown Farmers Market, Movie Tavern, or Giant grocery. Enjoy all that living between Ambler and Chestnut Hill has to offer! Also close to several shopping malls, Route 309 and the PA turnpike.
