Take advantage of the private full size tennis court or walk the grounds as you plan where to place your vegetable gardens. The primary bedroom suite is the perfect combination of privacy, views of the property, soaring ceilings, natural light, replaced flooring with reclaimed boards, creating an oasis to appreciate. The suite also includes access to an en suite bathroom, walk-in closet, and a deck for the primary suite. Note-worthy highlights include a fully updated utility room, an updated storage room, a new roof in 2014, new Marvin windows in selected areas, a professionally painted exterior, a new garden shed, and a new driveway. This classically beautiful estate is a short walk to the Meadowbrook SEPTA station and within minutes of Abington Hospital and numerous local shops, restaurants, walk trails and parks.
