27 w ward street

Welcome to 27 West Ward Street in the historic town of Ridley Park, Pennsylvania, with its small-town charm, beautiful turn of the century homes, walkable streets, pristine lake and park, and easy access to major roadways, train lines, international airport, and all of the shopping, restaurants, medical and educational facilities, sports venues, recreation areas and even shore points of Philadelphia, New Jersey and Delaware. The current owners of over twenty years are only leaving their beloved home to follow their grandchildren out West. This stately 115 year old home is a true treasure, retains its original details, and welcomes new owners to complete the restoration already begun. The grand Front Porch is perfect for relaxing and greeting neighbors out for an evening stroll. The first floor consists of a formal Living Room with a beautiful wood-burning Fireplace, original French Doors leading into the formal Dining Room, a lovely Sitting Room with access to the upstairs and Kitchen which leads out to the wonderful Back Yard. The second floor consists of four good-sized Bedrooms, large linen closet and a custom, historically respectful, fully remodeled Bath. The third floor consists of two more Bedrooms, a hall Bathroom and a multi-use room. The unfinished Basement consists of a spacious Laundry area, a high-efficiency gas burner, and an outside exit. As wonderful as the inside of the home is, the outside provides the perfect setting for outdoor living - including the expansive Front Porch and a Picnic area adjoining a garden fountain which takes center stage to the professionally landscaped property. The current owners have made this a gardener's delight, with a kitchen-garden “mini-farm”, specimen trees, shrubs and perennials in both sun and shade areas, plus a “behind the scenes” practical utility/potting area adjoining the small cottage-type garage. High hedges surround the Property and provide ample privacy even on this corner lot. This home is being sold “as is”, with inspections for information purposes only. Showings will begin on Sunday, March 12, 2023.
