A piece of 18th century history! A unique, delightful and comfortable residence today! With 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, sun-filled family room, updated eat-in kitchen, central air, 2-car garage with workshop, and utterly wonderful in-ground pool and poolhouse. It is said that Ann Whitpain herself owned this and surrounding property from 1714. Then in 1742, the original 3 story stucco-over-stone colonial style home was built. That's what George Washington saw when he rode by on his horse during the Revolution, but in 1870 the first of 3 additions was added to create today's dining room. The kitchen addition came in the mid-20th century. Finally, the two story sunny library addition was added between 1996 and 2000. In 2021, we see a meticulously cared for home that stands as a landmark at the road and opens in the rear to 3/4 acre of landscaped lawn and gardens--including a pond with frogs! Nearby are Prophecy Creek Park, Briar Hill Preserve, Wings Airfield, Blue Bell Inn, a number of walking trails, shops, and the popular Wissahickon School District's Shady Grove Elementary School. This is a property to fall in love with, unlike any other, and with just the right combination of modern amenities and character for the sensitive soul.

Glenside treasure with 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths! Beautifully cared for! Built in 1932 as a 3 bedroom, 1 bath detached home, 236 Berkeley, already a lovely stone single home, has been expanded to provide a bedroom and full bath on the 1st floor along with an amazingly sunny family room that overlooks the deep green back yard. Before it was built, the land was the Shady Nook Farm. Just as it was quiet then, the residential neighborhood that grew up there is equally quiet now, away from any busy roads yet walkable to shops and restaurants of downtown Glenside, to great schools, and to the Glenside commuter rail station that takes one to Center City Philadelphia or all the way to the airport. Walk to Arcadia University or simply down the hill for a stroll in Grove Park. Not far away are popular Keswick Village and the Keswick Theatre. Glenside has been called one of the best places to live in Pennsylvania!

Now the estate of Ena Swain, noted community historian and respected community leader. 6228 Germantown Avenue consists of a 3 story early 20th century mansard roofed Victorian building.

The second and third floor make up a bi-level apartment. The second floor is comprised of three rooms and a bath. The rear room also includes a small kitchen. A broad set of steps leads to the 3rd floor that offers two rooms and bath. These two floors are bright with natural light.

Ideal Blue Bell Hill location! Lovingly updated 2 1/2 story twin home with 5 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths. Thought to be built c. 1880, it was part of the community that grew up around RittenhouseTown, the nation's first papermill and the only papermill operating in North America between 1687 and 1727. All the mills along the Wissahickon Creek were closed down in the mid 1800's, but the community of Blue Bell Hill has been popular ever since and now enjoys proximity to what is now Historic RittenhouseTown, a National Historic Landmark District, to the resources of nearby neighborhoods of Germantown, Mount Airy and Roxborough, as well as the natural sylvan resources of Fairmount Park and the Wissahickon Creek. But what you really need to know is that this is a great house on a great block! Rear fenced yard includes patio with pagoda/pergola, plenty of perennials, garden beds, and large shed and chicken coop.
