Description

Located in the desirable Wissahickon School District, 1656 Penllyn Blue Bell Pike is tucked back off the main road on over an acre of land. The main level of this home is designed with a natural circular flow that feels both open and welcoming, but still provides separate living spaces. To the left of the entry, the sunlit living room leads seamlessly into the dining area, which then flows nicely into the kitchen. To the right, a den with a wood-burning fireplace and double doors to the rear patio offers another inviting space to gather. Straight through the foyer, the renovated kitchen ties the floor together, featuring poured concrete countertops, a farmhouse-style stainless sink, stainless steel appliances, shaker cabinetry, and custom built-ins that wrap around the appliances for a clean, cohesive look. Just past the kitchen, a hallway off the living room leads to a recently renovated half bath and a rear door to the patio & pool area. At the end of the hall is the laundry room, complete with washer, dryer, utility sink, new cabinetry, and interior access to the garage. Upstairs, the primary suite offers plenty of space with two large closets and a newly renovated private en-suite bath featuring a double vanity, built-in shelving, and a tiled shower. Two additional bedrooms, each with ample closet space and natural light, provide flexibility for bedrooms, a home office, or creative space. The full hallway bathroom has been fully renovated and includes an oversized vanity, tub-shower combo, and extra storage above the toilet. A spacious linen closet in the hall adds even more convenience for extra storage needs. The basement is divided into two generous sections. The finished side offers a large, versatile space that can easily serve as a second living area, media room, or place to relax. The unfinished side provides plenty of storage and includes a workbench, making it ideal for projects, hobbies, or organized storage needs. The front yard offers a long driveway leading up to the house, with ample parking space for friends and family, and a 1-car garage attached garage with a new door and opener. Lush greenery adds to the curb appeal, while the chicken coop adds some suburban charm and unique character. Out back, the property transforms into a private retreat. A fenced-in pool and hot tub are surrounded by a concrete patio with space for both dining and lounging, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Two sheds, one with electricity, provide flexible storage or workspace, while the surrounding trees create a serene backdrop.
