8560 TRUMBAUER DRIVE, GLENSIDE, PA 19038

The Stotesbury Townhouse community in Wyndmoor was built in the 1980s on the grounds of the Edward Stotesbury estate. Remnants of its gilded age grandeur such as marble columns, belvedere steps, and monumental statuary dot the rolling landscape, giving this contemporary community a sense of the past. The modest HOA fee keeps the tree-lined streets, the sidewalks, and the open green space manicured for all the residents. This community has buried utility lines, meaning that electricity will likely stay on even when the inevitable bad weather hits. The front entrance faces the driveway and opens into the large foyer with easy-care tile flooring. To the left is a living room with vaulted ceiling and large front windows. Toward the back of the house is a bright dining room and a spacious, fully-equipped kitchen.   A large peninsula adds valuable work space and room for casual dining at the counter. There are large sliding doors to a spacious deck overlooking open green space, giving a treehouse-like feeling. Up the stairs is a large balcony overlooking the living room that lends an airiness and volume to the house that belies its 1500+/- square feet indoor space. (Interestingly, many homeowners in the community have created a third bedroom out of that unbuilt space on the second floor.) The primary bedroom has a beautiful en-suite bath and plenty of closets. A second hall bath serves the second bedroom, located at the front of the house. The laundry closet is conveniently located on the second floor with an energy-efficient washer and dryer in good condition.The big surprise of the house is the large, finished basement with wood burning fireplace, and a large sliding door that leads to a stone patio. This bonus space is perfect for family gatherings, late night streaming, or raucous games.  The basement living space opens into a spacious backyard full of greenery, featuring occasional visits by rabbits, deer, squirrels, and foxes.  Off the finished space is unfinished basement area that is suitable for storage. The house has an attached one-car garage, great for additional storage or for an actual car!  Located in desirable Springfield Township, Stotesbury is close to highways,  regional rail, shopping, Chestnut Hill, and all the benefits of the near suburbs of Philadelphia.  This is one that won't last
