Contemporary, Split Level

Welcome to 513 Barbara Drive — a beautifully maintained split-level home set on a spacious corner lot in a quiet, established East Norriton neighborhood known for its welcoming community and convenient location. This 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath home offers so much finished living space from top to bottom! Inside, vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light create an open, airy feel throughout the main living space. Hardwood flooring throughout most of the home is a warm, inviting, and classic feature. The updated kitchen features abundant quality cabinetry, marble countertops, ceramic tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and thoughtful upgrades, including a touch-activated faucet and a custom pantry organizer and drawers. The 2.5 bathrooms have been tastefully improved and are conveniently located throughout the home. The flexible lower-level living space offers ideal options for a family room, home office, or media room, while also being connected to the laundry area, utility room, a powder room, inside garage access, and the doorway to the side and back yards. There’s also a bonus/flex space that can be used as a home office or workout area! Upstairs, you’ll discover the primary bedroom featuring a full-ensuite bathroom, 2 closets, and brand new carpeting. 2 additional bedrooms and a spacious, full hall bath complete this level. The upper level features an adorable bedroom space – perfect to stay as a bedroom or to create a home office. This level also includes access to the front of the house attic with room for storage. Step outside to enjoy the thoughtfully enhanced outdoor spaces designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A stone patio with a gazebo area provides a wonderful view and connection to the huge, fenced-in back yard. The fenced-in yard includes a storage shed on a concrete pad, improved drainage, and a stunning mature crimson maple tree that provides incredible shade and dramatic seasonal color. The side yard features an excellent covered patio and reinforced knee wall. Adjacent to the covered patio are several raised garden beds ready to be planted this spring! Extensive updates over the last several years include a pool-compliant fence, retaining wall replacement, porch post upgrades, modern window treatments, ceiling fans, and newer appliances — reflecting consistent pride of ownership.
