The silence is thick as you turn onto Falcon Drive. Last night you had a fight about renewing the lease for another year. With the ever-changing news cycle and inventory seriously lacking, you're ready to call it quits and just pay your landlord’s mortgage for another decade. But then you saw it. The house that’s exactly what you’ve been looking for. The house you were told didn’t exist in the heart of Wyndmoor, the neighborhood everyone’s talking about. Just beyond the city’s leafy Chestnut Hill neighborhood and within the celebrated Springfield Township School District, Wyndmoor has become the coveted destination for savvy homebuyers. Homes for sale here are few and far between and most come with their share of compromises. Not here. Welcome to 715 Falcon Drive. Down a lovely tree-lined cul-de-sac of beautifully appointed homes sits this handsome center hall Colonial full of stately splendor on almost a half acre of lush grounds. As you pull into the driveway, a little smile creeps across your face. There it is—your house—standing proud with its traditional Colonial front, charming shutters, and a sunny front porch perfect for morning coffee. The manicured landscaping is a fitting invitation, silently promising peace and quiet. Here, you’re not just stepping into a house—you’re entering a world where every detail has been carefully considered and you can feel memories already being made. A grand foyer with warm hardwood flooring, a powder room, and a sweeping staircase greet you and you already feel at home. The formal living room’s brick fireplace invites you to have a seat and relax and dream of cozy winter evenings in front of the fire. You continue to the spacious dining room with its deep navy walls and chair rail and imagine it filled with the laughter of family and friends at your famous dinner parties. You won’t be able to get out of hosting Thanksgiving this year with room for at least 12 guests. The kitchen is the heart of the home and this kitchen doesn’t disappoint. White shaker cabinets, granite countertops, classic white subway tile, a spacious dining area with plenty of pantry storage, and French doors leading to the deck? Check, check, and check. This is where weeknight dinners become memories. Next to the kitchen is the perfect spot for your WFH office. You’ll be the envy of your colleagues on your work Zoom calls, you chuckle to yourself, as you enter, so perfectly connected to the kitchen (and snacks). The large family room is the home’s de facto gathering spot. Your heart rate slows as you enter the room with its large arched windows, brick fireplace, and glistening hardwood floors. This might be your favorite room so far. Splurge on that big comfy sofa you’ve been eyeing – this room can handle it. Here is where you’ll rally with friends and family to watch our beloved Phillies and Eagles return to the World Series and Superbowl (yes, we said it). Upstairs, find five bedrooms, two with ensuite bathrooms. The primary has an additional room attached (office, nursery, that boutique-style closet of your Real Housewives dreams?), and an adorable retro-inspired hall bathroom complete with fun wallpaper is the icing on the cake. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, the massive basement wows you one more time. It’s not just a basement—it’s a blank canvas for all of your hobbies. Give yourself that art studio you promised yourself after college and create the swanky home theater you’ve been eyeing in magazines. There’s room for both! You truly didn’t think a home like this existed but you’re so glad it does. Your search is over and you’re already planning your housewarming party. Heart racing, you get back in your car to plan your offer, only making one (very necessary) stop at The Stotesbury for a toast to congratulate yourself for finding such a gem. This is it.
