A modern-yet traditional Tudor Revival foursquare home at 63 W. Plumstead Road demonstrates a lot of Lansdowne Borough’s potential for greatness, writes Sandy Smith for phillymag.com.

A variety of historic homes populate Lansdowne; Victorian, Tudor, Queen Anne, Dutch Colonial and Georgian Revival.

 These attractive properties are augmented by an equally attractive Main Street with a new performing arts center in the making at the historic Lansdowne Theatre.

.All for a reasonable price.

The Plumstead Avenue Revival  at $459,900 has a Tudor-style half-timbered facade and a wraparound front porch. A built-in cabinet adds an unusual touch.

There’s a glass-enclosed sun porch on the front porch’s left side.

Inside, there’s traditional because of features like hardwood floors, built-in china closets and a living room brick fireplace. Modern because it uses a totally open plan, part of a recent makeover.

There’s an up-to-date kitchen and three updated bathrooms that retain a traditional appearance.

In the spacious backyard there’s a hot tub, a fire pit, a large rear deck and a garage.

The house sits just north of two adjacent National Register historic districts.

Buy now and you’ll be in the center of it all when Lansdowne finally reaches that full potential.
