Property Description
Turn off of the “main road” and drop down into the bucolic valley of Rock Ln, with it's meandering stream, spring-fed lake, and charming historic homes. There you will find 805 Rock Ln, a home nestled on a third of an acre, suggesting a life filled with creativity and abundance. More than just a home, this homestead provides nurturing potential with it's large vegetable beds, greenhouse, composting, custom-made pizza oven, koi pond, tool shed, and expansive outdoor living. But to the house…Enter through the front door into a sun room ready for greenery, relaxation or a convenient transition space. From there, enter the formal living room, where classic charm meets fresh restoration, centered around a beautiful hearth and wood-burning fireplace. At the rear of the home, the layout has been opened up, combining dining and cooking in a gorgeous, light-filled, kitchen and dining room. Note the chef's stove, custom made soapstone counter tops, enormous butcher block island, and panoramic windows over the sink that bring the outdoors in.. This space suggests communion with friends and family. Beyond the kitchen is an addition featuring a powder room and a bright, flexible living space—perfect as a home office, family room, or media lounge. Upstairs you'll find three generous bedrooms, a huge cedar-lined closet, and a classic bathroom with white tile and original cast iron tub. I love the third bedroom, a kind of Tudor style, which has been open up with vaulted ceilings, and cathedral windows. Additional live space and a 1/2 bath can be found in the walk-out basement, which is tiled, parged, and ready to become living, playing, or guest room. A moment for the greenhouse…this remarkable structure was built in the 1940s by Art Sr. of the Chadwick family, founders of Chadwick & Sons Orchids Inc., one of the nation's premier orchid growers. The greenhouse was the origin of their business, and its legacy continues today. The current owners have carried on that tradition, cultivating a stunning variety of exotic orchids here (see listing photos). 805 Rock Lane is located in Cheltenham Township, within the highly regarded Cheltenham School District. Conveniently located, the home offers easy access to big box shopping at Cheltenham Square Mall, as well as the charming shops, dining, and amenities of Elkins Park, Jenkintown and Glenside.
