3535 W SCHOOL HOUSE LN Philadelphia, PA 19129

A secluded carriage house in the woods located on a private drive off School House Lane in the city! Truly special, totally renovated home located on 1.35 acres surrounded by woods, complete with chicken coop and fire pit. A private drive dead ends into this retreat. The first floor of this space includes a entry/mud room with terra cotta tile, benches and a coat closet. The powder room here is gracious in size and has upcycled barn wood. The remainder of the first floor is a flex space and the open kitchen, perfect for a chef who entertains. The kitchen has open shelving, hand poured concrete counters and has a double Thermador gas oven. A huge pantry next to the refrigerator holds all the workhorses of the kitchen. There's a utility room on one side of the house facing the woods and on the other end, there's a huge double closet and built-in office space. The current owner uses this first floor as kitchen and dining but with huge swaths of space, a sectional and average table could easily work its way in. Upstairs, you'll find a two story vaulted ceiling family room that welcomes the morning sun with lots of windows. Off the family room are three bedrooms, the laundry room and a full bath. One of the bedrooms functions as a playroom for the homeowner and the other two have great closets and accent wallpaper walls (Hygge & West is a favorite). The top floor is a nest, incorporating the beams of the former attic into a luxurious master suite with a master bath with shower and soaking tub, reclaimed barnwood and a marble topped sink. The master bedroom has open closets on both sides. Storage was keenly integrated throughout the home for truly tidy living. All interior systems have been redone since 2015.
