This Flourtown townhouse has a secret elevator and a massive rooftop deck
I was browsing listings in Flourtown and stumbled on this place. It looks like a standard townhouse from the street, but the inside has some crazy upgrades you do not usually see around here.
Out front
The front features stone paired with gray siding and a covered porch where you could easily put a couple of chairs.
Walking inside
When you walk through the front door, you enter a huge lower level. They have it set up as a home office and a secondary lounge area.
There is a full bathroom down here too, which is great if you decide to use this space for guests.
Here is the most unexpected feature of the house. There is an elevator lined with wood panels that can take you all the way to the top floor.
If you prefer to take the stairs, the oak staircase sits right off the main entry hall.
The main floor
Heading up to the second floor brings you into the main living area, which has high ceilings and feels really open.
The dining space sits right in the middle of the floor plan, acting as a transition between the kitchen and the back living room.
The light fixture hanging over the table is simple but adds some interest to the room.
From the table, the view flows straight into the kitchen so you can keep chatting with people while cooking.
About that kitchen
The kitchen centers around a giant island painted dark gray. It easily has enough space to seat four people.
Standing behind the island, you get a clear view across the entire level.
They also built a hutch with glass doors next to the stairs, creating a nice little breakfast corner.
Tucked away behind the kitchen is a walk-in pantry with plenty of built-in shelves.
There is also a small powder room on this floor with gray paneling.
The great room
On the other side of the second floor is the main living room, which is big enough for a large sectional.
The fireplace has a brick surround that goes all the way up to the ceiling.
They put bench seats on both sides of the hearth, which is a clever way to add extra seating.
The windows look out onto trees, so the room feels private.
The back deck
Just outside the kitchen is a composite wood deck. There is a pass-through window from the kitchen that acts as an outdoor bar.
The bedrooms
The third floor holds the bedrooms. The primary suite has white wood paneling on the wall behind the bed.
The primary bathroom has a double vanity and a massive shower with glass walls.
The walk-in closet is fully customized with gray shelving and dresser drawers.
The laundry room is also on this level, equipped with gray cabinets and a small sink.
The second bedroom has a clean look with simple accent lines on the gray walls.
The third bedroom is painted a warm clay color that makes it feel very cozy.
These bedrooms share a full bathroom with classic subway tile.
The top floor loft
The fourth floor is a massive loft with vaulted ceilings, which would make a perfect media room.
They put another brick wall up here, along with a built-in wet bar and a beverage fridge.
Double doors open from the loft directly out to the rooftop deck.
It is a private rooftop space with plenty of room for outdoor couches and views of the surrounding area.
