Welcome to 6010 Cricket Road, a classic center hall brick colonial on a majestic one-acre lot along coveted Cricket Road in Whitemarsh Township. Across from Philadelphia Cricket Club’s Wissahickon course, this home boasts 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and 1 half bath.
A home this special on one of the most desirable streets in our area will not last. Offered in “As-Is” condition at below market providing buyers with the option to complete restoration work in a portion of the home remediated following an interior third floor leak, or undertake a full renovation and/or expansion improving upon this already impressive home.
Gracious first floor gathering spaces include a formal living room with wood burning fireplace, custom built-in bookshelves and french doors opening to the back terrace making for seamless entertaining in warmer months. The formal dining room offers the perfect space to gather for holidays and celebrations with family and friends. A thoughtfully updated eat-in kitchen features stainless steel appliances and center island perfect for prep work and serving meals. French doors off the kitchen provide beautiful natural light and a full view of the yard and lead to a classic brick terrace overlooking the private, fully-fenced backyard graciously flanked with mature trees and plantings. Adjacent to the kitchen is a bonus room which offers the flexibility to serve as a first-floor playroom, homework room, office, cozy sitting area or home command center. The powder room, several coat closets, expansive mudroom area with built-in storage and bench seating and laundry room complete the first floor.
Off the large landing area of the second floor, the serene primary suite features a large walk-in closet, dressing area and updated marble bath. Two large secondary bedrooms with an abundance of closet space and natural light and an updated hall bathroom complete the second floor. The third floor is home to two additional bedrooms and a spacious full bathroom.
A finished basement adds additional living space in two separate wings, one of which is currently used as an exercise room and the other a playroom/media room. A third unfinished area of the basement provides additional storage along with BILCO basement doors to the driveway. 6010 Cricket Road has fully fenced back and front yards. Elegant brick columns stand at the driveway entrance with an automatic driveway gate.
There is an attached garage and plenty of driveway parking. A brick shed built with a façade to match the main home sits at the rear of the property for additional storage, perfect for lawn and garden items. A full home stand-by generator was installed in 2016.
Conveniently located with easy access to the Blue Route, Pennsylvania Turnpike and Route 309. The nearby shopping areas of Chestnut Hill, Lafayette Hill and Plymouth Meeting, trails and beautiful open space of Fort Washington State Park are just minutes away.
