Welcome to Lansdale old town living at its best and welcome home to 323 Columbia Avenue. Located only blocks away from Main Street you are welcomed to walk to everything from dining & shopping to the library and town celebrations. This 5 bedroom, 2 full bath brick twin is located on a quiet avenue in the sought after West Ward neighborhood of Lansdale.
A low maintenance exterior consisting of brick. vinyl, newer roof and windows, provides peace of mind for her new owners. Even the porch flooring is made from upgraded trex decking having the same look & feel of the original tongue and groove flooring. From the front door we enter the large sitting (music) room which is the center of the home. Off to the left is the living room and to the right is the dining room. All three of these rooms have beautiful hardwood floors with all the original trim stripped and returned to its original glory with added crown molding and custom wood covered radiators to match. The entry to the dining room can be closed off using the in-wall pocket doors.
Beyond the dining room is the updated kitchen with tiled floor and backsplash, granite counter tops, double bowl stainless steel sink and under-cabinet lighting. Check out the five burner gas stove! From the entry of the kitchen go right towards the back door and you'll find the first floor full bath - don't come in the front door if you're dirty!
Heading upstairs, the second floor hallway and two of the three bedrooms still have the same chestnut trim as downstairs. The middle yellow bedroom and the hall bath have white trim. Like the first floor the entire second floor is also hardwood but the master bedroom and yellow bedroom have been carpeted over. Some beautiful oversized windows and a three window bump add light and character to these rooms and good sized closets add ample storage for todays standards. The second floor bath has an oversized sink top and vanity which again provides extra storage. A tiled floor and wainscotting wall board add more character.
The third floor offers two more bedrooms, again with great storage area. The same chestnut trim as downstairs. These rooms are carpeted but there is wood flooring underneath that may offer some finishing possibilities. The larger front bedroom has pull down attic stairs for yet more storage. Now down to the basement which consists of two large rooms, completely empty with the exception of the laundry. Three decent sized glass block windows offer some nice natural lighting and the back room has the bilko door exit to the back patio. Out back we have a concrete patio and lawn waiting for your house warming party and beyond is the two car garage.
Anne Marie did a lot to this house in the past ten years to get it ready for you - are you ready to come home?
