One of the nicest & most architecturally distinctive homes to hit the market in East Falls in many years! Here’s your chance to own a truly special piece of East Falls history, a rare detached stone Tudor Revival with Arts & Crafts influences just half a block from Penn Charter. Built in 1906 & located in historic Queen Lane Manor, one of East Falls’ most architecturally distinctive enclaves, this exceptional residence dates to the neighborhood’s formative years & beautifully reflects the craftsmanship, character & architectural richness that make these early homes so special. Queen Lane Manor attracted accomplished Philadelphia architects, including noted residential architect Lawrence Visscher Boyd, who lived in the neighborhood & designed numerous homes here for the Queen Lane Land Company. Trained in the office of prominent architect Frank Miles Day, Boyd achieved national recognition for his residential designs & helped shape Queen Lane Manor’s architectural character. This absolutely stunning home showcases extraordinary original details, including leaded glass windows, original millwork, front & rear staircases & 3 fireplaces (1 gas, 1 wood-burning & 1 decorative). Stunning curb appeal begins with the wraparound front porch & continues with front, side & rear yards with aluminum fencing & gates, Bluestone patio & walkways, enclosed rear sun porch, walkout finished basement & off-street parking for 4 cars with a 2-car garage & 2-car driveway. Offering 6 bedrooms, 3 full baths & a 1st-floor powder room, this move-in-ready home combines timeless character, modern updates & exceptional indoor/outdoor living. The 1st floor features a living room, dining room, family room, gourmet cook’s kitchen with island wide open to the breakfast room, powder room, rare 1st-floor laundry room, rear sun porch & front and rear staircases. The 2nd floor offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, an office & hall walk-in closet with custom built-ins. The primary suite features a custom walk-in closet & en-suite bath with walk-in shower & double sinks. The 3rd floor features 3 additional bedrooms, a full bath & large hall walk-in closet with custom built-ins. The walkout finished lower level includes a workshop, storage & dedicated fitness space. With interior & exterior access, this versatile level is also ideal for a kids’/pets’ playroom, home gym or in-law/au pair suite. Outdoor living is exceptional with the wraparound porch, enclosed sun porch, Bluestone patio & walkways, & professionally landscaped established gardens with native flowers, plants & trees—plenty of room for kids, pets, gardening, relaxing, entertaining or your next BBQ. Extensive updates include the kitchen, bathrooms, finished basement, gas boiler, central air, thermostats, gas hot water heater, 200-amp electric with knob & tube removed, architectural shingle roof, restored moldings & millwork, windows, doors & pocket doors, refinished hardwood floors throughout, custom walk-in closets with built-ins, professionally landscaped grounds & landscape lighting.
