Property Description
This classic 1920s home has a traditional front sun porch, beautiful wood flooring, architectural moldings, gracious proportions, and a rear GARAGE. In 2016 the home was renovated from top to bottom, adapting the home to 21st century lifestyles without losing any of the original character, as well as replacing all plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems. Note that the 10 year tax abatement is still in place for 2026. Current owners added a full array of solar panels with a large storage battery that will minimize your utility costs, a water filtration system and whole house cat 5(e) internet. Freshly painted and move-in ready, enjoy a worry-free move to your new home at 4935 Pine Street!
The main floor has been opened up, skillfully providing defined living, dining and kitchen areas, as well as maintaining the south facing sun room, while giving clear views from the front of the house to the rear. The original arched front door opens to an entry area providing a space to remove shoes and coats before entering the main sitting area or the versatile front sun room, which is perfect for a quiet reading or work space. A decorative non-working fireplace graces the main living area. The central dining area allows for intimate seating or expanding a table for large holiday dinners. The kitchen provides expansive counter space and storage, with an island and hanging pot rack. This level has a convenient windowed half bath, and an exterior door with stairs down to the rear driveway for easy unloading of groceries.
Upstairs are 3 large bedrooms and 2 modern bathrooms. The elegant primary bedroom suite rivals resort hotel suites, with a large walk-in closet/dressing room, a spacious skylit bathroom with floating double sink vanity, large frameless shower and separate WC enclosure, and a south facing sun-kissed deck off the bedroom, perfect for morning coffee, or sipping marguerites while watching the sunset. Note the beautiful and unique narrow width oak strip flooring and detailed wood trim on this level, which has two additional large bedrooms and new hall bathroom.
The basement is unfinished but has very cleanly sealed walls and floors and is watertight, prefect for a workout or yoga space. There is direct access to the large garage, which has room for your car and bicycles. The new washer and dryer will remain for you, as will the very useful storage shelving.
The real excitement of the basement is that it is the tech center for the extensive and high cost improvements that the current owners have installed, bringing this home to the highest level of today's technology for sustainability, resiliency, and better living—be prepared to completely geek out! The home has 21 solar panels, with both two-way metering and a storage battery, that dramatically reduces electric bills. It also provides independence and resiliency, with the ability to bridge times without electricity, or charging to and from an electric vehicle. And the tech doesn't stop there! The home has a water filtration and purification system, connected to the flexible whole house water manifold system. The main panel for the whole house cat 5e (internet) and coax (tv) cabling are also located here-boast of having the best and most reliable internet connectivity in the neighborhood! See the detailed description of these systems provided by the owner. In addition to these most recent high tech upgrades, all the basic home systems, including electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, and main roof and windows, were all replaced as part of the 2016 total renovation.
This home is located in the Lea Elementary School catchment, a school that Penn has undertaken to support through a multi-year, multi-million dollar partnership.
