Set in one of Meadowbrook’s most desirable locations, this distinctive 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath home offers over 4,800 square feet of living space, a saltwater pool, private tennis court, mature gardens, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living. A glass entry introduces the home’s striking personality and opens to a dramatic vaulted great room with soaring ceilings, a wall of windows, parquet wood floors, a gas-burning stone fireplace, wet bar, and direct access to a flagstone patio overlooking the private rear grounds. Thoughtfully oriented toward the backyard, the home is filled with natural light, garden views, and seamless access to outdoor living spaces.

The formal dining room seats twelve and features a skylight, built-in china cabinetry, and generous storage. The kitchen blends warmth, function, and professional-grade performance with white cabinetry, butcher block countertops, a large island with seating, vegetable sink, pantry, sitting area, window seat, and premium appliances including a 6-burner Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, Miele oven, and Bosch dishwasher. Direct access to the covered patio makes outdoor dining effortless. Additional first-floor spaces include a family room with Amish-crafted built-in desks, a cubbied mudroom, and laundry room with Miele washer and dryer leading to a fenced vegetable garden. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms offer large windows, organized closets, and access to two full baths. Beyond the heated two-car garage are rare bonus spaces including a bike room, workshop, garden room, and upstairs studio ideal for an office, fitness room, art space, or quiet retreat. The grounds are the signature.

Abington, located between Willow Grove and Jenkintown, is a residential and civic-minded Roslyn neighborhood with leafy streets and a strong main-road rhythm. The neighborhood’s pulse concentrates around the Old York Road (PA-611) corridor near Susquehanna Road, where coffee counters, independent shops, and everyday errands cluster in a steady flow. Community touchstones include the Keswick Theatre for live shows, the Abington Art Center for exhibitions and classes, and the Briar Bush Nature Center for wooded trails and programs. Stone colonials and mid-century splits mix with apartment communities along the busier avenues. Alverthorpe Park adds courts, paths, and open lawns that shape daily routines. SEPTA rail stops nearby keep the geography connected to Center City and the Main Line.
