Property Description
Welcome to 30 Ridley Avenue, a picturesque Dutch Colonial home nestled in the quaint borough of Aldan, PA. This three-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom gem is perfectly positioned on a 7,250 sq ft lot amid a canopy of trees, offering both charm and warmth in a neighborhood adorned with sidewalks and friendly faces.
As you enter the inviting front vestibule and step into the center hall, you're immediately enveloped by a sense of history and elegance that characterizes this home. The first floor radiates with the luster of hardwood floors, setting a polished stage for the heart of the home—the kitchen. Here, newer appliances, granite countertops, and a tasteful tile backsplash beckon culinary enthusiasts to create and enjoy. Adjacent to this culinary haven is the formal dining room, where meals become memorable occasions. The living room, spacious and welcoming, is the perfect venue for relaxing and hosting, while the enclosed porch offers a tranquil retreat for morning coffees or evening reads.
At the core of the family's gathering space is the wood-burning stove in the family room, offering warmth and a nostalgic charm during the cooler months. Upstairs, the large primary bedroom with a walk-in closet offers a private haven for rest, complemented by two additional bedrooms and an updated full bathroom, designed to accommodate both comfort and style.
The detached, oversized two-car garage provides ample space for vehicles and storage, a rare find in such a serene setting. The full, finished basement extends the living space dramatically, with areas designated for a recreational room, exercise space, or a craft/music studio—tailored to fit any hobby or interest. This level also includes a large laundry room combined with a half bathroom and additional storage space.
The exterior of the home is as thoughtfully designed as the interior. A fenced flat rear yard with a beautiful paver patio and lush lawn offers a private outdoor oasis, ideal for pets to frolic and guests to mingle. Recent upgrades such as a new roof in 2020, a water heater in 2023, and a high-efficiency gas-fired Buderus boiler in 2015, ensure this home combines classic appeal with modern reliability.
Living in Aldan, within the William Penn School District, places you amidst a community that values education and small-town charm, just 15 minutes from Philadelphia. Local attractions like the Colonial Playhouse and Providence Park offer cultural and recreational opportunities just a stone's throw from your doorstep.
At 30 Ridley Avenue, the blend of historical allure, modern amenities, and a vibrant community creates not just a house, but a home waiting to be filled with new stories and lasting memories. This is more than a place to live—it's a place to love.
