Your very own tranquil retreat is waiting at 1681 E Willow Grove Ave, a 6 bed, 4.5 bath cottage situated on nearly 4 acres in Glenside. This truly special home is nestled at the end of a long, tree lined driveway, featuring two patios, a greenhouse, an enclosed garden, and chicken coop. Approaching the home you will appreciate the greenery and landscape, charming Wissahickon shist exterior, plus ample parking. The moment you step inside you are met with countless charming features, a tiled foyer, large windows, beautiful wooden doors and trim. The entryway has a large coat closet and powder room. Heading toward the front of the home is a generous dining room, joined by an eat-in, farmhouse kitchen, and living room with built in bookcases and wood burning fireplace. Down the hall you will find a great room, perfect flex space for added living room, play room, office space, gym, or countless other options. This room has vast South facing windows which bring in much of the days sun. Further along is another smaller flex room, currently used as an art studio, and first floor laundry room which connects to the one car garage. From here you can head upstairs to find each of the generous and well spaced 6 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms. Of these, on the West side of the home, are 2 bedrooms and one full bath joined by a living room and second kitchen, with a powder room on the first floor. This side of the home has a separate entrance and can be self contained if needed. It can be perfect for multigenerational living, students staying home, or potential for an income producing rental. Otherwise, it flows naturally with the rest of the space to use as as single family home. The yard is a gardeners and entertainers dream with ample tree coverage, clearings for entertaining, enclosed garden, and chicken coop. With over 4000 square feet of living space, hardwood floors, two wood burning fireplaces, a wood stove, plus gas stove, and 100 years of charm, you will not find this level of cozy, sanctuary living elsewhere! Matched with a convenient location just a few minutes from Chestnut Hill, Route 309, Arcadia, Locals Coffee, The Keswick Theater, Septa Stations, and much more. This home also has a rich history, known as Wetherill Cottage, designed in 1917 by John Graham Jr. for William Chattin Wetherill. You will absolutely want to see this home in person!
