Property Description

Welcome to 170 Roberts Ave. Nestled In the heart of family friendly Glenside, Abington Township, lies this stately landmark home. 170 Roberts Ave was built in 1922 for the President of Glenside National Bank on a hill so that he could see home from work, and work from home. A Federal Style manse set back from sought after Roberts Ave, the property is nearly an acre of a professionally gardened and lawn oasis. Perfect for pick up football games, and tag with neighborhood friends. The soaring front colonnade portico greets guests as they arrive into a formal foyer spanning the entire width of the house. Original Carrara marble floors from Italy, 10 inch plaster crown moulding and a sweeping staircase invites you into the heart of the home. A grand palladium window sets off the staircase that boasts a wrought iron and chestnut banister with brass adornments. (The banister has been a saving grace for 3 brides descending the staircase, and has been slid down by kids looking for a quick escape.) A matching center staircase light fixture is wrought from the same Pennsylvania foundry as the banister, fireplace andirons, and front entrance light fixture. The rear of the foyer includes French doors that open into the back door, coat room, powder room and rear portico. The formal living room is grand, boasting four French doors and a majestic fireplace with Pennsylvania marble surrounds. The walls have extensive moulding capped by plaster dental moulding and two sets of built in shelves. French doors leading to the private side porch give a nod to enjoying the natural surroundings on the property. Immediately off of the living room is a sun porch currently used for billiards with French doors opening to the garden and driveway in the rear of the property and the front private porch. The formal dining room is awe inspiring with banded hardwood floors, lit molded shell china displays in two corners to set off this grand room. A formal highly carved working fireplace with Pennsylvania marble surround creates a warm environment to this stately room. Center crystal chandelier with matching wall scones brings light to the room along with the two front French doors. Originally the breakfast room for the first owners, a brightly lit family room with fireplace is entered from the dining room and butler's pantry. Walls of windows bring natural lighting inside with elaborate custom window treatments and recessed lighting. The kitchen and butler's pantry boast floor to ceiling cabinets with glass doors in the pantry. Laundry room is set off of the kitchen. Off of the kitchen, A cozy breakfast room with back staircase creates an intimate space for family meals. The second floor landing and hall boasts plaster moulding and extensive walls for artwork. The primary bedroom includes a suite with two bedrooms, and a formal dressing room with a wall of mirrored closets and built in chestnut vanities. Updated Primary bathroom and recently renovated secondary bathroom complete the suite. Three large additional bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms (one Jack and Jill) provide ample space for a growing family. A large hall, closet, linen room, and mop sink closet complete the second floor at the back staircase. The rear staircase leads to a third floor with three bedrooms and an original bath. Expansive hall closet and eves serve as storage. Full basement with five rooms provide ample space for storage and shop space. The gardens at 170 boast privacy from tall trees and hedges of azalea and rhododendrons. Shade gardens and expansive lawns create exciting play areas for young families. Two+ car garage with attached gardeners shed complete the landscape. This stately home is in a "walkable" tree scaped neighborhood with immediate access to a thriving city via SEPTA trains and buses one block away. Restaurants, nightlife, shopping, and coffee shops are minutes walking distance. . 170 Roberts Ave is a living residence in the heart of a thriving community.
