Welcome to 221 S Easton Road, a property where character and opportunity meet in the heart of Glenside This distinctive bungalow, with its broad-covered porch and classic lines, offers more than just curb appeal. Zoned MU1 and blending both character and versatility, this mixed-use property offers the flexibility you’ve been looking for. The designation allows for a single residential unit as well as a range of commercial possibilities—whether as a retail shop, creative studio, or client-facing office with the convenience of a “short commute” and clear separation from the living quarters behind. Throughout the home, beautifully refinished wood floors and natural wood doors with crystal knobs add warmth and timeless character, enhancing both the commercial and residential spaces. The front commercial space, currently configured as a welcoming storefront, features a stone fireplace with a Dimplex insert and plenty of natural light. Step beyond its doors and into the delightful residential portion of the home, where thoughtful updates meet enduring charm. The kitchen makes an immediate impression with quartz counters, a marble-topped island, farmhouse sink with garden views, pantry storage, and a stacked washer/dryer. The kitchen opens to a cozy sitting room with custom built-ins and a second Dimplex fireplace. The main floor bedroom offers two closets and sits just steps from a tastefully updated full bath featuring updated fixtures, wainscoting, and a shower-over-tub. Upstairs, two more bedrooms, a full bath with stall shower, a kitchenette, and plentiful storage make the second floor ideal for extended living space, a rental, or private quarters. The basement, a woodworker’s dream, offers a sprawling workshop, office, and storage areas, complete with its own restroom and dual access from the kitchen or the rear walkout. Outdoor living extends the home’s appeal, with a partially covered deck overlooking a fish and frog pond, plus a hammock and bench to enjoy the garden setting. A wide driveway accommodates 3–4 cars, while the detached two-car garage with barn-style doors and a manageable lawn wrapping behind complete the picture. Situated in the heart of Glenside’s business district, this mixed-use property enjoys steady foot and car traffic with plenty of business and bustle out front while providing a peaceful and secluded retreat in the residence and out back.
