Introducing this incredibly charming 1935 stone twin in arguably the most neighborly and beautiful pocket of Elkins Park. You can move right in and begin enjoying the stunning scenery this tree-lined street has to offer every spring. The front porch is that special spot where you can sit and relax and greet your neighbors as they walk by with their dog. Inside, there are original hardwood floors with mahogany inlays on the first and second levels. A good-sized living room opens to the dining room which is brightened by a large bay window. The updated kitchen has white cabinets and appliances, gorgeous granite counters and a deep sink. Bonus --a powder room on the first floor --something you don't find often in similar homes in the neighborhood. The basement offers a finished living space that can be used as a rec room, gym, or home office. There's also unfinished storage space and the laundry area. On the second level you'll find three bedrooms, each with a ceiling fan, and a full hall bathroom completed with ceramic tile. There's additional living space on the third floor that counts as a fourth bedroom. And forget those hot nights. You'll sleep soundly with central air on the second and third floors. A level and fully fenced backyard offers space to garden, play ball, let the dogs run or entertain. Conveniently located within walking distance of the Elkins Park train station which can put you in Center City within 23 minutes and provides direct service to the airport. This neighborhood is extremely walkable and close to several parks, shops, and restaurants, including the popular Food Chasers Kitchen, Chef Vargas, Goat House Creamery coffee shop and Creekside Market & Tap. There's also easy access to main highways like 309 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Schedule a private tour of this beautiful home as soon as possible. * Seller is offering $2500 credit for acceptable offer so buyer can have floors refinished.
