Description
When most people dream of a home where a lifetime of memories is made and every day is filled with happy moments, it's a place like 474 Kenwood Rd that comes to mind. Situated on a commanding corner lot in the heart of idyllic Drexel Hill, this stately, sunlit 4,200 sqft center hall colonial offers 8 bedrooms, 3 full and 2 half bathrooms, a modern kitchen, a finished basement, a 2-car garage, and a sprawling yard. The exterior makes an impressive first impression with a classic stone facade and pitched slate roof. Inside, you're welcomed by a foyer at the main entrance. Gleaming hardwood floors extend past a pair of columns to a large, bright living room on the right. A stone fireplace mantel anchors the space, while lots of windows pour in natural light. Another archway leads to a cozy family room with even more bright windows. On the opposite side of the foyer, pocket doors reveal a large formal dining room, perfect for entertaining. From here, there's access to the breakfast nook and the modern kitchen fitted with stainless steel appliances, generous custom wood cabinetry, black counters, and a matching backsplash. Off the kitchen is a powder room and a second entrance by the garage. Up on the second level, a huge, sunny primary bedroom with hardwood floors is at the front corner. It connects to a full bathroom and a bedroom that would be ideal for a dressing room or nursery. Elsewhere, there are two bedrooms with a dual bathroom in between, and a large bedroom and bathroom in the rear with private access from a second staircase. The home's third level has two similar bedrooms flanking a hall bathroom, a walk-in closet, and another large dormer bedroom that would be ideal for a game room. More living space is found in the basement, along with the laundry room, a second powder room, a storage room, and a utility room. In addition to everything inside, the expansive wrap-around yard has areas for barbecues, gardening, and outdoor play. The home's utilities include a gas water heater and gas hot water radiator heat. 474 Kenwood Rd's sought-after Drexel Hill location is minutes from popular shopping centers with stores like Giant, Lowe's, Kohl's, Shoprite, and Walmart.
