Property Description
Welcome to 120 Lismore Avenue—a timeless Queen Anne Victorian filled with history, craftsmanship, and heart. Nestled in the vibrant community of Glenside, this three-story home offers the perfect blend of classic architectural beauty and modern-day convenience.
From the moment you arrive, the charm is unmistakable. A wrap-around porch with a distinctive stone wall invites you to sit, relax, and take in the tranquil garden views and sounds of chirping birds.
Step inside to a grand foyer with high ceilings and rich woodwork that immediately conveys the home's historic elegance. The ornate main staircase is highlighted by a stunning round stained-glass window, while original millwork, intricate trims, and pocket doors add character at every turn.
To the left of the foyer, you'll find a cozy library/sitting room complete with custom built-in bookshelves. Continue into the light-filled family room featuring a wood-burning fireplace and handcrafted wooden mantel—an ideal space for quiet evenings or lively gatherings. The formal dining room, spacious and elegant, is perfect for hosting holidays and special occasions. Pocket doors make these areas private without disturbing the flow. A double-swing door connects the dining room to the butler's pantry, enhancing the flow for effortless entertaining.
At the heart of the home is a cheerful, updated kitchen that combines modern functionality with warmth. It boasts stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, a large center island with a gas cooktop, durable Corian countertops, and a hands-free pull-out faucet. The adjacent breakfast room, drenched in natural light from multiple windows and a skylight, offers peaceful views of the backyard gardens and deck—a perfect spot to start your day.
The bright sunroom leads to a two-level deck with trellis, ideal for summer barbecues, al fresco dining, or quiet mornings surrounded by nature. The fenced backyard includes a vegetable garden, offering fresh harvests just steps from your kitchen. You will also find a shed where you can store gardening tools and equipment.
Upstairs, the second level hosts five generously sized bedrooms and a full hall bath, providing flexibility for work, play, or rest. A back staircase leads conveniently to the kitchen below. On the third level, you'll find a spacious sixth bedroom with an en-suite bath, plus an additional large room that can serve as a seventh bedroom, home office, or creative space. A sizable walk-in closet is located in the hallway for added storage.
The basement includes a dedicated laundry area, ample storage space, and a Bilco door providing direct access to the backyard.
Recent upgrades include a new roof (05/2022), new luxury vinyl plank flooring on the first and second levels (05/2021), and new high velocity HVAC system (01/2022), front porch decking (2019), rear deck (2020) and a new skylight in the breakfast room (5/2022), ensuring comfort and peace of mind for years to come.
Located just a short walk to the Glenside Train Station, it offers easy commute to Center City, Philadelphia. Close to top-rated schools, shops, restaurants, and local favorites like the Keswick Theatre, this exceptional property offers more than just a home—it offers a lifestyle rooted in history, community, and enduring quality.
They simply don't build homes like this anymore. Come experience the warmth and soul of 120 Lismore, and make it your own piece of Glenside history.
