$625,000

The Sasman House was built in 1890 by Clement Sasman designed and constructed by the famous Philadelphia Architect, Horace Trumbauer (1868-1938). In addition to this Oreland Residence, Horace Trumbauer is known for other local landmarks like Edward Stotesbury's Whitemarsh Hall in Wyndmoor, Lynnewood Hall in Elkins Park, Gray Towers in… Read More Glenside (Now Arcadia University). In the 1920's he expanded and help to modernize the locally beloved, Erdenheim Farm. 1640 Walnut Ave has been updated over the years. The seller's father changed the original design of Trumbauer's layout by widening the rooms on the first floor by eliminating the hallway that once connected the front door to the Kitchen in the rear. While some things have changed since its construction, some things remain the same, like the original and beautifully maintained slate roof. Park along Integrity Ave and amble up past meticulously trimmed trees and landscaping to the lovely covered front porch. The house and garage were just freshly painted in the fall of 2024! You'll enter through the front door and find an inviting Living Room with oak flooring protected under the carpeting. The space flows effortlessly to the formal Dining Room and cozy country kitchen beyond. You will find knotty pine cabinets, built by the seller's father, and topped with modern granite countertops. The eat-in Kitchen continues onto a main floor Laundry Room / Mudroom with a convenient freezer and outside access for summer entertaining.
