Step into a world of timeless elegance and comfort at 200 Ellis Road in Willow Grove, PA—a sprawling 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom stone bungalow that exudes historical charm, modern upgrades, and meticulous care. Nestled on a spacious double-sized corner lot, this turn-of-the-century gem has been lovingly maintained by its owners for over 40 years and is ready for its next chapter.
As you pass through the charming picket fence and ascend the steps to the full-width front porch, you'll feel an instant sense of 'home.' This inviting outdoor space provides a cozy respite for morning coffee or evening relaxation, setting the tone for what lies within.
The rich, wooden front door swings open to reveal a grand living room, stretching across the entire width of the house. Bathed in natural light pouring in from windows on three exterior walls, this space showcases warm laminate flooring and a tasteful electric fireplace framed by custom built-in bookshelves—a perfect sanctuary for reading or simply enjoying views of your expansive yard.
Adjacent to the living room, the formal dining area is an entertainer's dream, featuring a grand entryway flanked by decorative sidelights and an oversized bay window that floods the room with soft, ambient light. Imagine holidays and special dinners, elevated by this elegant backdrop.
The kitchen, thoughtfully updated in 2016, strikes a balance between form and function. With abundant maple cabinetry, gleaming granite countertops, and a stylish blend of subway and mosaic tile backsplash, the space also boasts a breakfast bar and an adjoining, sun-drenched breakfast nook—ideal for casual meals or unwinding with a glass of wine.
The first floor is completed by Bedroom #5, versatile enough to serve as a den or home office, and a convenient full bathroom. Off the kitchen, a 2009 addition enhances the home with a family room complete with a kitchenette, a large Bedroom #4, and another full bathroom. This addition also provides an independent outdoor entrance and a sizable 22’ x 8’ deck with a crank-out awning, overlooking your well-manicured yard.
Ascend to the second level to discover the primary bedroom. The hallway bathroom features a walk-in cedar closet. Bedroom #2 offers French doors that open to a lovely deck balcony, while Bedroom #3 rounds out this level.
Downstairs, the lower level boasts a sprawling, sunlit recreation room—perfect for game nights or movie marathons—as well as another full bathroom and a dedicated storage/utility/laundry area with Bilco doors for exterior access. Recently, a French drain system with a sump pit and pump was installed for added peace of mind.
Additional highlights include a furnace replaced in 2012 and a leased PV solar panel array installed in 2019.
