Welcome to this stately and spacious 5 bedroom 3.5 bath classic colonial home situated on .61 picturesque acres in the highly sought-after Custis Woods neighborhood of Glenside. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the timeless appeal of the tastefully preserved original features along with stunning decor fit for a design magazine. This meticulously kept home boasts nearly 3,000 square feet of living space, rich with architectural details of years passed and classic charm. Enter through the dutch door into the warm foyer with baked-clay tile flooring and decorative wallpaper. Original oak hardwood floors flow throughout, complemented by elegant millwork, built-in bookshelves, and three wood-burning fireplaces, are just some of the highlights of this amazing home. The huge living room is flooded with natural light from the oversized sliding glass doors that overlook the English garden-style slate and brick patio - with an awning to keep you shaded on the hot days - a wood burning fireplace, art-deco sconces, and outline trimwork. In the formal dining room you will find an elegant chandelier, a wood burning fireplace with a green mantel and surround, chair rail and crown molding. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated in places with brand-new decorative tile countertops and backsplash, all new appliances, stylish new checkerboard flooring, a dutch door to the back patio, and a sunny breakfast area with light green wainscoting, blending function and design while maintaining the home’s traditional aesthetic. The knotty pine wood-paneled den/study with custom built-ins is perfect for your morning coffee or evening reflection while enjoying your favorite book and cocktail. A half bath with entertaining wallpaper and generous laundry room/mud room complete the first floor with convenience and versatility. Upstairs, you’ll find five generously sized bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and continued solid oak hardwood flooring—offering an abundance of space. The main bedroom is en-suite with a full bathroom and plenty of closets. Two additional full bathrooms on the second floor can accommodate all of your guests. Throughout the home, the classic décor has been tastefully preserved, creating an atmosphere that is both elegant and inviting. In the basement there is a large partially finished space with heating and cooling and a wood burning fireplace which would be a great place for a home gym or flex space. Plenty of storage space can be found in the basement. Step outside to the expansive rear flagstone slate and brick patio, the perfect setting for relaxing with a book, entertaining friends, or hosting memorable cookouts under the canopy of trees. There is plenty of yard space for all of your outdoor activities. The oversized two and a half car garage with walk-up attic storage is a dream for car enthusiasts or those in need of a workshop. Park five or more cars in the spacious driveway with a turnaround for convenience. Custis Woods is a truly unique neighborhood and a hidden gem in Glenside. Set in between the Glenside (potentially walkable) and Oreland train stations and just minutes from the PA Turnpike, Rt. 309, Chestnut Hill, and the Keswick Theatre, also close proximity to North Hills Country Club and the Philadelphia Cricket Club. This home offers the perfect blend of classic beauty, thoughtful updates, and modern livability. The home you have been waiting for is here.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
