6281 Henry Ln

Few have ever heard of Henry Lane and fewer still have ventured up this private lane. Those who have are stunned by the remarkable urban oasis that awaited them. There in leafy splendor is a four bedroom colonial farmhouse on 1.7 acres that overlooks Wissahickon Creek. With parts of the house dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, it is one of the most romantic houses that you will ever find. Despite the nearby convenience afforded by Bethlehem Pike's many stores and new movie theater, here at the end of Henry Lane the sightings are likely to be of wildlife and biggest noises may be birdsong and the lapping waters of the creek. Here in this most private of settings the house offers numerous unique features: large den with beamed ceiling and stone floors, a step-down office with fireplace, a dramatic open eat-in kitchen with tile floors and radiant heat, a center island, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and cherry cabinets- not to mention extraordinary views of forest and creek. Upstairs the master suite includes a four -piece bath with glass enclosed shower. An elegant Jack and Jill bath serves two additional bedrooms. A fourth bedroom on the third floor completes the layout. Outside, there is a large fenced yard with wonderful plantings and spectacular views that extend for many acres. A lovely slate patio and in-ground pool beckon invitingly. Ideal for entertaining both inside and out, this is a notable property.
