About 16 Gladstone Rd
Welcome to 16 Gladstone Road, a beautifully maintained historic twin offering 1,826 square feet, four bedrooms and two full baths in the heart of Gladstone Manor—one of Lansdowne's most distinctive neighborhoods. Thoughtfully designed with the charm of an English village, Gladstone Manor remains a special pocket of tree-lined streets, mature landscaping and classic architecture where homes have character and neighbors still know one another. Step inside and you'll quickly realize this home offers considerably more space than its classic twin exterior might suggest. The main level features comfortable living and entertaining spaces, including the heated sunroom entry, completely rebuilt in 2025 with ten energy-efficient windows. The main level offers a living and dining room, along with a kitchen featuring quartz countertops. Upstairs you'll find a full bathroom, and three generously sized bedrooms, one of which provides access to a second story veranda, ideal for relaxing with coffee, a glass of wine, or even getting some sunshine in the warmer months. The entire third floor functions almost like a private primary suite, with a spacious fourth bedroom and its own dedicated full bath—an uncommon layout that provides privacy and flexibility. This home is equipped with central air conditioning, a rarity in this neighborhood, so you won't have to sacrifice modern comfort for the character of an older home, along with extensive Google/Nest/Philips Hue smart-home features throughout, that bring it firmly into the 21st century. The majority of the costly improvements are already behind you as well, including a new roof in 2024, furnace replaced in 2022, upgraded 200-amp electrical panel in 2025, EV charger in 2025 and automatic garage door opener installed in 2023. Outside, you'll find far more than the typical backyard. Extensive hardscaping creates paved side and rear patios with plenty of room for outdoor dining, grilling and entertaining, surrounded by mature landscaping and exterior lighting. Off-street parking for two vehicles by way of the driveway and a single car garage, and EV charging add everyday convenience. The Greater Gladstone Civic Association has been active since 1927 and continues to bring the community together with free outdoor events, movie nights, summer gatherings and seasonal traditions centered around the neighborhood's Island Parklet. It's a genuine sense of community that's increasingly difficult to find. Gladstone Station is just a short walk from the front door, putting Philadelphia within remarkably easy reach—the commute is approximately 13 minutes to Penn Medicine and 21 minutes to Suburban Station. Lansdowne's increasingly lively downtown offers new restaurants, shops and entertainment surrounding the beautifully restored Lansdowne Theater, while Philadelphia International Airport, Center City and the surrounding suburbs are all easily accessible. Beautifully updated in a wonderfully walkable town filled with character is what makes Gladstone Manor so special. 16 Gladstone Road truly gives you the feel of a historic home without asking you to give up the comforts of modern living, and proximity to shopping and the city. Finally, to allay any concerns, the Sellers are offering a comprehensive one-year home warranty so you can make your offer with complete confidence. Schedule your showing TODAY!
