Nestled in the serene Northwoods neighborhood of Montgomery's Springfield Township, 515 Edann Road is a testament to timeless charm and modern elegance. This 1929 colonial gem, recently adorned with new siding and a roof, sits on nearly an acre of lush, mature land. It's not just a house, but a private retreat, offering tranquility and privacy in Glenside, Pennsylvania As you approach, the allure of the secluded cul-de-sac setting and the expansive driveway, flanked by a two-car garage and 2 carports, welcomes you. The property is an entertainer's paradise, featuring a 65,000-gallon inground pool nestled amidst greenery, a rustic gazebo, a classic bluestone fire pit, and a separate basketball pad - all perfect for hosting events or enjoying quiet evenings. Step inside and be captivated by the home's rich history and classic elegance. The foyer, with its original pegged, random plank hardwood floors, leads to an expansive living room, boasting exposed wood beams, custom built-ins, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and through a large picture window the views of a sprawling backyard. Adjacent is a sun-drenched den with all-glass sliding doors overlooking the pool and a bird sanctuary. The sanctuary itself was designed by an ornithologist honored by the Hawk Mountain Sanctuary. The formal dining room, with picturesque windows and chair railing, houses the unique antique Shepard Homelift elevator, seamlessly blending old-world charm with modern convenience. The heart of the home, the kitchen, is a blend of functionality and style with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, solid wood cabinetry, and a vintage floating island. It's complemented by a quaint breakfast nook. Upstairs, the primary bedroom suite is a haven of luxury, featuring a large dressing room, multiple closets, and a new Jacuzzi shower. Hidden within is a "secret" passageway to an "Au Pair" suite, complete with a European soaking tub and private staircase to the kitchen. This private suite is versatile in nature and could easily serve as a private office, a crafts room or simply a second guest suite. Don’t let your imagination stop there, this bathroom could be the perfect spa for your four-legged family members. The second floor also hosts two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a sunroom or rec room overlooking the pool. The third-floor guest suite, accessible via a "hidden" staircase, offers a bedroom with built-ins, a walk-in closet, and a full bathroom with a cast-iron clawfoot tub, ensuring privacy and comfort for guests. Additional amenities include a full basement with laundry, workshop, and Bilko doors, abundant in storage, and perfect for potential additional living space. The history of this home is palpable, from the cannonball found on the grounds, believed to be from the Revolutionary War, to the meticulously maintained original design. 515 Edann Road is not just a home; it's a piece of history waiting for its new custodian. Close to the North Hills Country Club, regional rail service, and direct routes to Philadelphia, this property promises a lifestyle of elegance, privacy, and historical charm.
