Description

Welcome to 517 Portland Drive, located in the desirable Marple Newtown School District and Lawrence Park neighborhood. This beautifully maintained home boasts many desirable features and is awaiting its next owner to make it their own! This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, contemporary split-level home with a kitchen bump out and an office addition (exterior access) is sure to impress any buyer with the amount of space! The driveway has been enlarged allowing for plenty of parking (6 cars) and is lined with beautiful brick walls, welcomed with ornamental tower lights at each corner, all leading up to the house. Upon entering into the spacious living room and dining room there are two beautiful bay windows and hardwood flooring, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The eat-in kitchen is flooded with natural light coming in from the panoramic windows, offering ample cabinet and counter space, recessed lighting, a privacy door at the dining room entrance, as well as sliders that lead to the deck overlooking the spacious backyard. The backyard is a perfect place to relax as we enter into the warmer months. The current owner has enjoyed many years of admiring the nature scenes from the kitchen windows to the backyard. The large lower level has a ventless gas, brick fireplace with an imported stone hearth. The lower level is spacious enough for whatever you choose to do with it, whether it be a playroom or a den/family room. There is a half bath, laundry room/utility room with side door exterior access, storage shelving, and generous sized crawl space completing this level. This home was originally a 4 bedroom, but the current owner created a larger primary suite with the 4th bedroom. The primary bedroom has two large closets, a linen closet and a ceramic tile stall shower bath. Two additional bedrooms, an updated hall bathroom, and two hallway closets complete this floor. One of the secondary bedrooms has access to the fully insulated attic. As a bonus, there is a rear addition/office attached to the house with exterior access. Approximately 276 square feet of additional living space ideal for a home office which is a nice feature for today’s buyer. The addition has recessed lighting, exterior cedar planking that was recently re-stained (2023) and a French drain system surrounding the exterior. The location can’t be beat! Close to major highways, public transportation, Lawrence Park shopping center, walking distance to Elementary school and park.
