Open House Info:

Go west on 76 (expressway) - past the Conshohocken exit get off at the Gulph Mills Rt 320 (they call this the old exit -# 27). At the bottom of the ramp is a stop sign, take a left. Next stop sign - which will come up real fast is a T intersection - take a left - that will bring you up to the traffic light at Rt 320. Take a left here, you will go through a traffic light - around the hanging rock and up to a traffic light where you will see a Sunoco and a fancy restaurant on the left. Take a left here (on Gulph) - go up to the traffic light and take a left on Matsonford. Take your second left on Rebel Hill - 1227 is the 6th house on the left hand side. We will be at the house 9 AM to 1 PM on Saturday, October 1st. You will be able to view the outside of the house and participate in questions and answers.
