Description

Available for the first time since 1973, this lovingly maintained 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in Mermaid Estates (Wissahickon SD) is a rare offering in filled with character, craftsmanship, and pride of ownership Set on an expansive .75-acre lot — with a front yard even more generous than the backyard — the curb appeal is truly exceptional. Mature landscaping frames the home beautifully, and the lush Zoysia grass lawn, known for its dense, carpet-like texture and durability, creates a manicured, country-club feel from the moment you arrive. Inside, hardwood flooring runs throughout, complementing a traditional layout designed for comfortable living and entertaining. What truly sets this property apart is the custom millwork crafted by the owner, a master woodworker who personally designed and installed the decorative tray ceilings and detailed moldings surrounding doors and windows. These architectural elements add architectural depth and timeless elegance rarely found in today’s construction. The main living spaces are warm and inviting, and the gourmet kitchen with SubZero refrigerator and electric cooktop built into the island overlooks the private backyard and in-ground pool, offering an easy flow for summer gatherings and outdoor enjoyment. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms provide ample space. Both full baths on the second floor have been partially updated. The hall bath features new tile, vanity, and toilet, while the primary bath includes a new floor, vanity, and toilet, along with a soaking tub and separate shower for a comfortable retreat-like feel. A full unfinished basement with laundry and walk-out to the rear yard offers abundant storage and future finishing potential. The custom millwork is also found in the basement and includes a retro built-in storage area and bar! The detached two-story garage with electric provides exceptional flexibility, ideal for a workshop, studio, home office, or hobby space. With strong bones, thoughtful updates, handcrafted architectural detail, and nearly three-quarters of an acre, 902 Surrey Drive presents an exceptional opportunity to update further, expand, or simply enjoy as is.
