Property Description
Masters of their craft- a true love story unfolds in this exceptional work of art. Coming to market after extensive renovations, the owners painstakingly reimagined this 1929 home for today’s world and the level of craftsmanship is truly unparalleled. Welcome to 435 Harper Avenue, a remarkable example of early 20th-century artistry nestled in a quaint and private neighborhood. This stone and cedar-sided masterpiece, constructed with the iconic mica schist from the local Llanerch quarry in 1914, exemplifies timeless elegance and has been meticulously restored to honor its original craftsman style. Step inside to discover a thoughtfully reimagined interior, where every detail has been curated for perfection. Welcomed by the enchanting wrap around front porch, that is straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting. Adorned with exquisite landscaping, slate walkway, new driveway and custom flower boxes. The restored, enclosed front porch invites you to gaze out of the French windows and relax with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Make quite the entrance through the original, decorative, wooden door where you will find a charming foyer highlighting the regal staircase, custom banister, new millwork, wainscotting and decorative moldings that are found throughout the entire home. New built in ventless gas fireplace offering cozy comfort on chilly evenings. All 1950's replacement windows were replaced with period appropriate true divided light wood energy efficient Jeld Wen windows. Excellent flow and functionality, the living room is open to the bright and airy dining room offering chic style and design choices. The DeVol English style kitchen, adorned with custom cabinets, butcher block counters, and neutral backsplash sets the tone for culinary delight. Back room off of the kitchen (was once in-laws quarters) offers flex space, great for a home office, den, playroom etc. Equipped with a convenient full bathroom and rear access to the detached 2 car garage and back yard. Discover the charm of the concealed jib-style door leading to a storage closet and basement access, where drylock-finished walls provide additional space.
The breathtaking stairwell serves a mini retreat with charming landing, built in bench, custom moldings and sconce lighting that leads to the spacious hallway and ample storage closets. Each of the 4 bedrooms offers a tranquil retreat, while the 2 elegantly upgraded bathrooms provide a spa-like experience for your everyday enjoyment. The splendid primary bedroom features a new ventless gas fireplace, complemented by a custom cedar-lined walk-in closet. Extremely versatile function for the custom built-ins and closets to utilize as you wish. You will be in awe of the kerfed curved, shiplap knee wall overlooking the 3rd floor seeing all the way down to the foyer. This floor offers en suite capabilities, laundry and a seating area. Truly a tranquil dream for any function to suit your needs. The proximity to Center City, trolley to Media and R3 train both walkable, is ideal for any commuters. The level of detail sets this home apart from anything that is on the market. This residence is more than a home; it is a celebration of architectural heritage, lovingly restored and ready for its next chapter.
