Property Description
Welcome to 456 Eaton Road! Established in 1924, Drexel Park is a historic section of Drexel Hill consisting of about 400 homes on a 100 acre parcel of land which was formerly the Conway Family Farm. Conway Development Co. was established to create a pedestrian neighborhood and accommodate the automobile with paved streets. It is also conveniently located next to the Septa Media and Springfield service. From 1924 through 1939, most homes were constructed with mica schist stone or brick masonry in colonial and neo colonial style as required by Conway rules. This created street after street of beautiful stone homes separated by just enough ground that could be maintained by the home owner if the owner decided to do so.
456 Eaton Road, nestled in the heart of the neighborhood, was constructed in 1939, restored in 2000 and fully refurbished in 2021 with no expense spared. The 2000 restoration included the reverse subdivision of the neighboring lot to create a Pocono-style spacious garden with numerous private seating opportunities, a children’s playhouse and a koi pond and water fall which was enjoyed and lovingly cared for by the Seller for 20 years. The home and garden project including a cedar paneled solarium with radiant heat floor, 3 zone central air conditioning, and restoration of all interior finishes fixtures hardware represented an investment of approximately $1Million in 2000. All appliances are new and included in the purchase. Property is equipped with a generator. The street is quiet and the attached extra lot is tranquil, but the home is close to schools, parks, shops, dining and public transportation. 456 Eaton Road remains one of the timeless, crown jewels of Drexel Park, Drexel Hill, PA.
