What's around 1603 Hillcrest Road

About this property

In the far Southwest corner of Cheltenham Township, a lovely community was established after the turn of the 20th century, called Laverock after the local railroad station that used to be located in the neighborhood. After the Great Depression, our area saw an exponential growth in real estate development. By 1937, all of the roads that now make up Laverock were laid, and "modest" stone homes were constructed on spacious 1/2 acre+ lots. The primary developer of Laverock was Charles F. Puff Jr. who acquired the majority of the land, and began advertising the sale of both lots (for owners to build their own designs) as well as speculative housing for resale. A total of 93 lots were part of the original Laverock development. Based on historical research, it is believed that this property was constructed in late 1937 or early 1938, as that was the height of the sales records for this development, and there was no record of the house on the land in the 1937 railroad atlas. What stands today at 1603 Hillcrest Road is a lovely center hall stone Colonial with a slate roof that offers gracious living space within its 2,600+ Sq. Ft. of living space. Situated on a 1/4 acre parcel, it’s a manageable property with minimal yard maintenance. A long driveway extends along the south side of the home that provides access to the 1-car garage around the back. Enter into the foyer, and the first thing you will notice is the beautiful random width & pegged Oak flooring. The living room occupies the entire southern side of the 1st floor with a lovely wood burning fireplace anchoring the outside wall. A large picture window overlooks the front yard. The spacious dining room has two built-in corner hutches and chair rails on all four walls. One has access to the 3-season sun room with walls of windows overlooking the side yard and rear yard. The hot tub that conveys just outside. The kitchen was just upgraded this year, with new cabinetry, counters and a unique tiled backsplash of extra-long handmade white subway tiles. All of the necessary appliances are stainless steel, including the fridge, gas stove, microwave and dishwasher. There is a lovely greenhouse window overlooking the rear yard, a perfect spot to grow fresh herbs during the cooler months! Just off the kitchen is a large breakfast room with direct access to the rear patio, yard and garage. The powder room is conveniently tucked into one corner of this room. The coat closet is located in the main center hall. Upstairs, there are four large bedrooms and three full baths. The primary suite occupies the entire space above the dining room & kitchen. It has windows overlooking the front and side yards, a walk-in closet and a full ensuite bath with stall shower. The rear bedroom over the garage area has its own ensuite bath. The middle bedroom has two built-in bookcases while the front guest bedroom is flooded with light from three windows facing east and south. The hall bath has a tub/shower combination, and there is even access to a lovely 2nd floor deck overlooking the rear yard. There is also access to the walk-up attic from the 2nd floor hallway. The attic is floored for additional storage. The full basement provides ample storage and this is also where the laundry is located. The property is convenient to so many places. Just 5 minutes south and one can enjoy all of the great shops & restaurants of Chestnut Hill. Access to public transportation is also just 5-10 minutes away, at either the Chestnut Hill East SEPTA line, or the Glenside SEPTA station. More great dining & shopping can be found nearby as well, in Glenside and Jenkintown. Access to Route 309 is just 5 minutes away, which takes one to the PA Turnpike for commuting east or west. Laverock is a wonderful neighborhood, with sidewalks on all of the streets for evening or morning walks with your two or four legged family members!
