Listing description

Welcome to 1603 Winchester Drive, a gracious brick-front colonial where generous proportions, thoughtful renovations and exceptional functionality come together in one of Blue Bell’s most established neighborhoods. Boasting the community’s largest floor plan, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers approximately 3,586 square feet above grade, an expansive finished lower level and a professionally landscaped .42-acre property. The impressive two-story foyer sets the tone for an interior distinguished by hardwood flooring throughout, classic millwork and unusually spacious rooms. Formal living and dining rooms provide an elegant backdrop for entertaining, with wainscoting and a beautiful bay window adding architectural interest to the dining room. At the heart of the home is the renovated kitchen, designed for both gathering and everyday living. Extensive wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a large center island with seating are complemented by an exceptionally spacious walk-in pantry. The kitchen flows naturally into the breakfast area and family room, where a brick fireplace creates a warm focal point and the open layout makes the entire space equally suited to entertaining and daily life. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite feels like a private retreat. A vaulted ceiling and hardwood floors enhance the generously sized bedroom, while an exceptionally large walk-in dressing room with extensive fitted storage provides a level of space rarely found. The renovated primary bath completes the suite with a soaking tub and oversized glass-enclosed tiled shower with pebble-stone flooring, built-in bench and handheld shower. Three additional generously proportioned bedrooms offer excellent closet space and flexibility for family, guests or a home office. The finished lower level adds another dimension to the home, with a dedicated exercise room and generous flexible space for recreation, hobbies, entertaining or working from home. Just as notable is the exceptional storage found throughout—from the oversized kitchen pantry and laundry room storage to large linen closets, the primary dressing room and extensive lower-level storage. Outside, mature landscaping provides an established backdrop for the EP Henry paver patio with walls and integrated lighting, creating an inviting setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Fencing and an in-ground sprinkler system add to the home’s thoughtful functionality. The current owners have invested significantly in the property throughout their ownership, including a replaced roof and gutters, HVAC system (2020), hot water heater (2019), Pella replacement windows and front entry door, hardwood flooring throughout, renovated kitchen and baths, and custom blinds and draperies selected specifically for the home. Set within an intimate enclave of just 48 custom homes, 1603 Winchester Drive enjoys an exceptional Blue Bell location within the award-winning Wissahickon School District, with Stony Creek Elementary less than a mile away. Blue Bell is prized for its established neighborhoods, beautiful green spaces and convenient suburban lifestyle, while easy access to Route 202, I-476 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike provides convenient connections throughout Montgomery County and to Philadelphia. Spacious yet inviting, elegantly detailed yet exceptionally livable, 1603 Winchester Drive is a home of substance in one of Montgomery County’s most desirable communities.

School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Montgomery County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
