Set in the heart of Elkins Park, this striking home blends timeless architecture with thoughtful, modern updates that make everyday living easy. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this is not your average property. The craftsmanship and character are still very much intact, but nearly every major system and space has been improved to enhance today's living. Inside, the main level has been reimagined to feel more open and connected, anchored by a beautifully renovated kitchen that flows into the dining area. Whether you’re hosting a holiday or just grabbing a quick meal, the layout works. Just off this space, you’ll find access to the garage, patio, and a highly functional mudroom complete with built-in storage, a powder room, and direct access to the backyard. The living room is bright and welcoming, with oversized windows and French doors that open to a front patio seating area. Throughout the home, you’ll notice details that reflect its original design, now paired with updates like all-new wiring and a full set of premium Marvin windows that offer long-term peace of mind. Upstairs, the second level features four bedrooms, all with original hardwood floors and generous natural light. The primary suite includes ample closet space and a spacious bathroom with dual vanities. One of the adjoining rooms offers flexibility as an office, nursery, or sitting room, complete with access to a private deck. A second-floor laundry area adds convenience right where you need it. Also on the second floor an additional bedroom suite offers privacy and character, with vaulted ceilings, its own bathroom, and unique architectural touches. The third floor provides even more flexible space, filled with natural light from skylights and complemented by a large walk-in storage area --ideal for an office, guest room, studio or whatever you can imagine. The lower level has been recently finished to create a comfortable recreation space, complete with a full bathroom, second laundry area, egress windows, and multiple storage areas. Beyond the home itself, the location is hard to beat. You’re just a short walk to the Elkins Park train station, local shops, and hotspots like Goat House Creamery, Creekside Market & Tap and everything that makes the village feel like a true community. Homes like this, where historic charm meets meaningful updates in a walkable location, don’t come around often. This one is ready for you.

Now is your chance to own one of the most beautiful, historic, and stately homes in the heart of Elkins Park. Full of craftsman design, charm, and character from days gone by, yet completely renovated and updated, this home has the best of both worlds. Even better, it s move-in ready! With a fully renovated kitchen, an open floor plan, new storage lockers, all new wiring, new top-of-the-line, maintenance-free-for-life Marvin windows (47 of them!), a brand new basement entertainment area, a new wood-burning fireplace, and a built-out, livable attic bonus room (with dedicated HVAC), you ll never want to leave the comfort of your home. Yet, with the EP train station and thriving Village (including Goat House Creamery a brand new Creekside dining and neighborhood gathering spot opening this Fall!!) a mere seven-minute walk, as well as schools, parks, and places of worship even fewer steps away, this warm and friendly neighborhood will captivate you. Through the Old World arched-entry front door, you re greeted by a just-decorated grand foyer with additional archways leading to the main-floor rooms. The light-flooded and inviting living room has windows throughout and French doors leading to your front patio and shaded seating area. The large dining room was recently opened to the fully remodeled designer kitchen, which also accesses the garage, back patio, and basement. And the office/mudroom includes three lockers (for shoes, coats, backpacks, and/or cleaning or school supplies), a powder room, and French doors leading to the back patio and large outdoor entertainment and play area. Up the grand staircase, you ll access your bedrooms, each with gorgeous, original hardwood floors. To the right is your master suite with spacious his & her closets and a large bath with his & her vanities. Through the master bath is an additional bedroom with cedar closet (also accessed from the main hall), 2nd floor laundry, and French doors, which lead to a quaint sitting deck. (Currently used as an office, this could be a nursery, exercise room, or cozy sitting area. ) The third bedroom is spacious with an attractive window seat, double closets, and full bath access (which is also accessible from main hall). The fourth bedroom is light and airy with a large hanging and storage closet. The fifth bedroom, including en-suite bath, vaulted beams, a walk in closet, tons of natural light, and fun architectural nuances, is just down the hall or accessed via private back stairs. The third floor is flooded with light via three skylights to create a giant hang-out area or extra living space, and a huge walk-in closet providing even MORE additional storage. (Note, the current owner considered adding a full bath in this storage area, which would give the home 5 BA. ) And topping it off, ahem, is the just-renovated basement rec space with a FULL bath, laundry area, egress windows, and three gigantic storage areas. Industrially built, completely upgraded, professionally decorated, and meticulously maintained, in lovely Elkins Park, it s uncommon maybe unheard of to find such a gem. Walkable to the SEPTA train (20 minutes from dt Philly) and neighborhood schools, food, and worship establishments, this home is MOVE-IN ready. Come take a look. You ll be glad you did, and may never leave!

Don't miss this opportunity to live in one of the nicest homes on one of the nicest streets in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Elkins Park. Built in 1930, this elegant Colonial home has many similarities to a Tudor, including a well-maintained slate roof. Walk through the arched front door into the foyer and you'll see a winding staircase, one of two stairways to the second floor. The step-down living room is to the right of the foyer, and has a bay window, wood-burning fireplace, and French-doors to the stone front patio. Straight ahead is a small den/office with powder room. To the left is a graceful dining room, also with a bay window. Continue into the updated eat-in kitchen with an oversized peninsula, with seating for five. A mud room connects the rear of the kitchen to the attached garage and the back porch, leading out to a hardscaped patio, and fenced-in yard. The second floor features a landing which is the gateway to the private quarters of the home. To the right of the landing is the master suite: bedroom, bathroom and a connected small office, nursery or work-out room, with a stacked washer/dryer and a deck overlooking the backyard. To the left of the upstairs landing are two bedrooms and a hall bath. The middle bedroom can also be reached from the back stairway, and connects to a back room with its own full bathroom. For those needing more space, a flight of steps to the third floor leads to another finished room featuring skylights and light-darkening shades as well as attic space. The basement is semi-finished with plenty of storage areas and full-sized washer and dryer. This beautiful home has modern amenities such as recessed lighting, three zones of central air conditioning and a robust security system, while maintaining old-world charm: refinished hardwood floors, oversized baseboards, crown molding, and wall trim in the living and dining rooms. Come see for yourself this very special home. Note: Seller is a licensed PA Realtor.
