About 55 E Greenwood Ave

Stunning Center Hall Colonial with detached two-car garage on nearly-half-an-acre corner lot of a tree-lined street in the heart of Lansdowne’s Henry Albertson Subdivision National Historic District and featured in multiple QVC holiday commercials! This gracious early-twentieth-century home welcomes you with classic architectural details and modern updates including an entry with leaded sidelites and fanlite, refinished hardwood floors, first-floor 9-foot ceilings, three-zone central air conditioning, a converted natural gas Buderus boiler, and an upgraded electrical system that replaced all the old knob-and-tube wiring. Over forty double-silled windows fill every room with natural light and built-ins add character and functional storage throughout the house in addition to its 13 closets and walk-in storage area. The first floor has a layout ideal for entertaining with a half-bath off the foyer, a dining room with crystal chandelier and built-in china cabinet, a living room with gas fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases and French doors that open into a sunroom that converts into a screen porch and has access to the trellised brick patio. A walk-through butler’s pantry, with an additional staircase, connects the entertaining spaces to the eat-in kitchen and a convenient first-floor laundry area. The second floor has three bedrooms and two full baths, including a primary suite with private bath and bonus room while another bedroom connects directly to the hall bath. The third floor adds three more bedrooms and a hall bath with claw-foot tub. Lansdowne is just 15 minutes from University City, the International Airport, and I-476, offering small-town charm and big city convenience with its historic atmosphere and convenient access to Philadelphia. The property is about four blocks from the regional rail station, and even closer to Lansdowne's shops, restaurants, farmers’ market, and newly-renovated theater! Don't miss the opportunity to make this very special home yours!
