1913 OLD HUNTINGDON PIKE Huntingdon Valley, PA 19006

Located along the Pennypack Creek and across from Lorimer Park is an architectural delight. Lush vegetation frames the simple but elegant stone work on the front of the house and the dramatic front door clues you in that something special is inside. Once you enter the front door, a second set of fieldstone walls awaits you, allowing for a generous amount of natural light and place to leave your coat and umbrella. Moving through the second set of doors, you enter a room that embodies the spirits of the Arts & Crafts design era. Deep window sills, glossy trim work, hardwood floors and more sunlight add to the feast for your eyes. This open space houses both an elegant living room with fireplace and a spacious formal dining area that has floor to ceiling views of the park trail and creek. Moving through to the next room is a bright and airy kitchen. Simple in its' elegance, it is easy to prepare meals here without leaving the conversation of friends who may be out on the adjoining deck or in the living room. Perched above the trail, your view is of the treetops and the babbling creek beyond. Settling in for a restful evening is a treat in the master bedroom. There are plenty of windows to let in summer evening breezes and also plenty of light to warm the room when you awaken. A cleverly designed bedroom loft allows for more light and storage for gym equipment or quiet reading area. The master bath is tastefully designed with a large stall steam shower. A second bath serves the remaining bedrooms with a tub and shower. For casual living and entertainment, the lower level is perfect with brightly colored walls, exposed beams, a wood stove and plenty of stonework for that "rathskeller" look. A second room is perfect for an office. Walk outside to a stone patio and enjoy the delights of a designer landscaped garden complete with water features, a garden shed and arbor, affording plenty of private and quiet outdoor space. What to do with the detached office with powder room set among the remaining walls of a stone mill from the 1700's? Zoning allows for a home occupation office and there's always the possibility of a guest house or even artist's studio. Our parting shot is of the Pennypack Creek. As sunlight pokes through the trees and wisps of haze lift off the water, another day awaits you.
