705 Whites Rd, Lansdale, PA, 19446
About This Home
Built Circa 1815, lovingly restored and maintained, this home offers secret-garden privacy in the heart of Lansdale’s West Ward, a chance to be part of a rich history, and a remarkable suite of modern amenities. The kitchen features a vaulted ceiling where you can gaze up at the tree canopy through twin skylights, plus a magnificent 10-foot-tall exposed stone wall — all complemented by Granite countertops, an induction range, and birch cabinets. In the primary bedroom, marvel at the centuries-old wide-plank pumpkin pine floors alongside a 2024 Mitsubishi mini-split heat pump. With large beams nestled into the stone walls, the living room spans a spacious 35 feet with deep windowsills (perfect for houseplants) and a cozy soapstone woodstove that sits on a black Pennsylvania-slate hearth. Enjoy second-floor laundry, a fully owned solar panel array, and ample attic and basement storage with a large workroom. Sneak through the nearby secret passage that links two of the bedrooms. Gaze at the lush gardens and 30+ different types of trees on the property from the sunporch, flagstone patio, or exterior circular staircase. Invite all the relatives because the dining room effortlessly holds a 10-foot banquet-sized table. Enjoy watching the Red-bellied Woodpecker, Gray Catbird, and Carolina Wren nest and raise their young. Easy walking distance to York Avenue Elementary School, the smallest yet top-3 elementary school in the highly regarded North Penn School District. Lansdale’s newly renovated Whites Road Pool is just 4 blocks away. House was featured in Montgomery County Town & Country magazine. Five bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 3,950 square feet. Please see attached document with highlights and all upgrades that the sellers have made throughout their 20+ years ownership. Floor plans are included in the photos. This is your opportunity to own Red Top Farm, a distinguished Federal-style residence that has been part of Montgomery County's history for more than two centuries!
