19 BELLS MILL RD Erdenheim, PA 19038

This late 19th century farmhouse, expanded and modernized in the late 20th century, is full of light, convenient living space, architectural integrity, and pride of ownership. This is the kind of house everyone wants to buy. The high level of care, maintenance, and stewardship is apparent as soon as you walk in the door. These are homeowners who know their house, and know how to care for it. Because of the large two story addition that houses the great room and the main bedroom above it, the original portion offers flexible space with rooms that can be used for everything from work, television watching, crafts, dining, or reading. Ample driveway and garage parking serves the vehicles. The house has just the right balance of open space and private space to make for easy 24/7 living. There are two doorways off the wrap around porch to gain access to the main floor. One enters the front door, into the original front parlor, currently used as office/library. The next room is the charming original dining room with historic details and charming scale. There is an entrance to the basement in this room, and original low-set windows that offer light and air. Through the dining room, you enter the kitchen with another practical entrance from the covered porch, making off loading of groceries, etc, a simple task. From the kitchen, up a few steps to the expansive addition that houses a full bathroom, and and airy open space for living. The great room has windows all around, a wood burning fireplace, and sliding doors to a large deck. Up the main staircase, there are three bedrooms and two full baths. The front bedroom is spacious and full of sunlight. The middle bedroom, currently used as a sitting room , has double doors off the hallway, and above, in the ceiling, access to the attic. The end of the hall are two baths; one dedicated to the main bedroom. The back of the house opens to the lovely , airy main bedroom with beautiful windows on two sides, a vaulted ceiling, and ample closets. The main bedroom space engenders comfort , serenity, and rest. Some of the "extra" spaces in the house are surprising. A sizable basement space that houses the laundry and provides for great storage; a two car garage with an access door to the basement so you can enter the house without going outside. Another patio, in addition to the deck, which offers covered seating in the heat of the summer or when it's raining. Perhaps the most stunning part of the property is the back and front yard gardens that have been restored and enhanced by the present owners. Your lawn will be the envy of the neighborhood! Great location: you can walk to Chestnut Hill and the new Springfield Elementary School. Great condition: move right in. Great house.
