Property Description
Do you love the historic character & charm of a turn of the century home? This immaculate American Foursquare was constructed in 1900 on the grounds of the former Wharton Barker estate. It's perfectly sited on a quiet side street, elevated from the sidewalk and surrounded by a wonderful selection of mature azaleas, rhododendrons, lilacs, hydrangeas and other flowering plants. Conveniently located just a few blocks away from the Wyncote-Jenkintown SEPTA station (with the best scheduled service to Temple University, downtown Philadelphia and the U of P/Drexel campuses. Even the Airport line can be a one-shot journey from this station. There are 5 Township parks within walking distance as well, for any outdoor activities you may desire. You approach the front patio through a series of steps, past an abundance of perennial beds. The oversized patio spans the full width of the house (and houses a unique 2-car, tandem carport below!). You enter in a large Foyer with a beautifully turned staircase. A large coat closet is tucked under the stairs while the powder room is just behind the closet in the hallway towards the kitchen. Large cased openings connect the main living rooms on the first floor, providing for great connectivity and flow. The entire South facing side of the house is filled with windows, and the light that enters the home throughout the day is magical. The large dining room has a corner, wood-burning fireplace while the large dining room has a bay window overlooking the side yard. The laundry room is conveniently located on the 1st floor with access to the rear porch and yard. The large, eat-in kitchen has ample room for a breakfast table, while 3 walls of Oak cabinets provides great storage. A beautiful tiled backsplash has decorative inserts & the kitchen sink overlooks the rear yard. One accesses the un-finished basement from the kitchen. The second floor has four spacious bedrooms in each corner of the house. There is a renovated hall bathroom to service these rooms. The current owner uses one of the front bedrooms as their primary master bedroom (although there is a 3rd floor bedroom with an en-suite bath). There is a huge bedroom on the 3rd floor that spans the entire front of the house with 2 closets and a secret tuck-a-way overlooking the staircase. The rear bedroom with the en-suite bath does have a large closet and faces the rear yard. There is another full bath in the hallway with the original clawfoot tub. There is one more large room on the 3rd floor that also has a closet, but not counted in the bedroom count in the MLS and is a great space for storage that has just been completely re-plastered & painted. The rear yard is quite private & provides a level space for outdoor entertainment & play. The home has central A/C as well. A lovely turn of the century, eclectic residence waiting for you to call it home!
