Description

Welcome home to 813 W Butler Pike, a gorgeous stone colonial built in 1948 in the sought after Broad Axe Village neighborhood and Wissahickon School District. With five bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms the home is original with multiple additions added over the years - back of the house in 1999 (large primary bedroom, living room & dining area below), and front of the house (oversized sunroom with skylights and slate tile floor) in 2004. Enter the home straight into the large sun-room with light entering from numerous skylights and floor to ceiling windows, with a spacious in-home office space tucked around a corner. An original stone facade welcomes you into the home where you'll find original hardwood floors, recessed lights and an oversized living room complete with a gas fireplace. Continue straight to the light & bright family room that flows into the dining area that shines with vaulted ceilings and skylight. Just off of the dining area is the kitchen - remodeled in 2016 - followed by a mudroom area/pantry/coat closet and powder room that lead you out to the back of the property. Downstairs you'll find a finished basement with tile flooring and a huge unfinished storage area that could easily be converted into a home-gym or additional living space. Upstairs you'll find 4 bedrooms of varying sizes surrounding a hallway full bathroom with a shower-tub and a massive walk-up attic space off of the old primary bedroom. Down an additional hallway leading towards the back of the house is the primary suite with his & her closets, a full bathroom, and a grand bedroom with tray ceilings and breathtaking views of the lush trees in the backyard. Set on .45 acres of land, the backyard is an oasis of sun + shade from mature trees, complete with a beautiful flagstone patio, open yard and garden. There is a large detached garage at the rear of the house with space for two cars plus storage. Neighbors have a cut-through from the yard through theirs for easy road access for walks and family bike rides into surrounding Whitpain and Meade Road. Broad Axe Village is a tight-knit community that hosts events all year long for kids & adults alike and whose neighbors are welcoming & kind. Many neighbors even walk or bike to Shady Grove Elementary through Prophecy Creek Park together! More recent upgrades include a 4-ton exterior air conditioner condenser and air handler in 2021, a new roof over the house and garage in 2022, new dishwasher, laundry machines, kitchen refrigerator, paint, ceiling fans & light fixtures throughout, and a Culligan reverse osmosis water system (all installed between 2023-2025).
