Down a winding lane in a quiet, walkable section of Elkins Park, you will find this elegant & gracious 1920's stucco Colonial, sited on the upside of the street. It's a friendly neighborhood with an annual block party! Flagstone steps lead up to the front Dutch door, surrounded by mature azaleas & mountain laurels. A traditional layout unfolds as you enter this bright, sunny home with H/W floors & detailed crown moldings. The large living room has custom built-ins that flank a wood-burning fireplace. Large double-hung windows overlook the front yard, while a box-bay window bump-out faces the landscaped backyard. The family room is nearly the entire depth of the house & has windows with custom wood blinds on 3 sides. This room has ample space for a large sectional & even a game table for family game night (with a skylight overhead) & built-in closets with shelves. The large dining room with glass-paned pocket doors has a box-bay window with a built-in window seat (with storage). Coat & china closets flank the front window. More storage is available in the butler's pantry in the hallway to the kitchen. The large eat-in kitchen has an island & all the necessary appliances to prepare large meals, including a Sub-Zero fridge, an ASKO dishwasher (nearly silent!), double wall ovens & a built-in microwave. At the rear of the kitchen is a built-in desk, seating area for a large table & a 2 large pantry closets. Tucked under the staircase is the powder room with more storage under the stairs. There is a mudroom with access to the tiered backyard. On the 2nd floor landing, there is a beautiful Palladian window with a perfect view of the weeping Cherry tree! The master suite has an open-concept master bath overlooking the landscaped backyard, and two large closets with built-ins. The tub is tucked into the corner, while the stall shower and "necessary" are behind a glass privacy door. One of the other bedrooms has the most delightful 3-season sunroom overlooking the backyard. A hall bath with double sinks services the 2 additional bedrooms on the 2nd floor. Tucked into the eaves on the 3rd floor are 2 more bedrooms, the 3rd full bath, a large storage attic & cedar closet. Finally, it also has a fully finished basement & 2-zoned A/C. Within walking distance to CreekSide Coop, E. P. train station, McKinley Market, Sprinkles ice cream parlor & more.
