631 CROYDEN RD Cheltenham, PA 19012

Absolutely charming inside and out! Super spacious 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2628 square foot stone
colonial with all the details, charm and unique features of a home built in 1937, with additions and
modifications for modern families. Amazingly well-preserved hardwood floors on the first and second
floors, and carpeted floors in the family room addition, basement and walk-up attic. There are three
bedrooms on the second floor and a vintage hall bathroom with bathtub and separate shower stall. A
fully finished walk-up attic through the third bedroom could serve as a bedroom, office, or playroom, or
just additional storage. This home has Pella windows throughout along with a warranty that has
approximately 10 years remaining. The exterior has beautiful garden features with mainly perennials,
cultivated with 3 seasons in mind for constant blooms, beautiful flowering trees (crepe myrtles,
dogwood, Kwanzaan cherry), plus azalea and rhododendrons galore.
This home is constructed with handsome Wissahickon schist stone. There is plenty of space for outdoor
entertaining, with a sizable side deck off the kitchen, a small front patio concealed by rhododendrons,
and a great backyard framed in part by tall arborvitae. There is also an all-purpose garden shed with
ample space and shelving. The driveway is shared, with a separate parking pad for your car. There is
also an entrance to the house (one of four) from the driveway.
The first floor has a lovely foyer entry with a convenient powder room. The spacious living room has a
wood-burning fireplace, a substantial multipurpose closet, beautiful windows and window niches, and
an archway through to the dining room. Beyond the dining room is a gorgeous family room with an
expanse of windows that give a full view of the garden and its wildlife. There is a full kitchen with ample
oak cabinets, gas stove, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher as well as room for a breakfast table.
There is an outside exit to the deck from the kitchen that makes it a perfect spot for warm-weather
entertaining, keeping an eye outside while making dinner, or just relaxing with a book, encircled by
the shrubbery and a weeping cherry tree.
The second floor has the main bedroom with a huge closet, a second bedroom, and a third bedroom
with a charming alcove. Stairs lead from this room to the third-floor finished attic which, as noted
above, can serve several purposes according to your needs. There is plenty of shelving and
abundant storage space under the eaves.
The basement is also carpeted and provides a fourth bedroom with a good-sized closet, as well as a full
bathroom with a stall shower! The main portion of the basement adds more living or storage space, as needed. There are also several closed-off areas that are useful for storage, along with an area for washer, dryer, and an existing work bench. An outside exit provides easy access.
This home is conveniently located and is close to beautiful Tookany Creek Parkway with convenient
walking trails and lots of nature to enjoy. It is also very close to Cheltenham Elementary school and
Elkins Park Middle School, several train stations including an airport line, and a range of shopping
opportunities. The nearby Abington-Jefferson Hospital System is a particular amenity for area residents.
