Property Description
Step into the charm of this 1890-built treasure, perfectly situated on one of Jenkintown Borough's most desirable tree-lined streets. This six-bedroom home has been lovingly maintained, showcasing a seamless blend of historic elegance and modern updates, all within a vibrant and walkable community.
As you approach, the beautifully crafted stone exterior and painted cedar shake siding immediately catch your eye, along with the expansive front porch featuring intricate Mercer tile flooring—a welcoming space to enjoy the serene neighborhood.
Inside, the home is adorned with stunning hardwood floors, complete with elegant mahogany inlays. The first floor is thoughtfully designed for both comfort and function. The spacious living room is light and airy and there is a quiet library with French doors that is a versatile space which could serve as a cozy den, a playroom, or an additional sitting area. The main winding staircase, with its beautifully crafted banister, leads to the second-floor landing. The dining room is perfect for entertaining and holiday visits.
The eat-in kitchen boasts custom cabinetry and a center island and is where stainless steel appliances and granite countertops meet timeless design. French doors lead out to a large deck, perfect for al fresco dining, which overlooks the expansive fenced-in backyard—a private oasis for outdoor activities and endless entertaining. A convenient laundry room, powder room, and access to a back staircase add to the thoughtful layout of the first floor.
Upstairs, the second floor features four generously sized bedrooms, including one with an adjoining sunroom—currently used as a peaceful light-filled yoga retreat. This floor also houses a dressing room, a full bath, and a powder room for added convenience. The third floor offers two additional bedrooms and another full bath, providing ample space for family or guests. The closet space on this floor is exceptional.
The partially finished walkout basement is rich in character, once serving as a lively dance hall for the home's original residents and their guests. Today, it retains its unique charm with original hardwood floors and turn-of-the-century circus posters that add a vibrant touch to the space. This versatile area also includes a potential mudroom for cubbies and book bags , and a powder room, making it ideal for use as a recreation room, home gym, media room, or additional living space.
The exterior of the home is equally impressive, with a large, fenced-in backyard that provides the perfect setting for outdoor gatherings. The oversized garage offers ample storage, while the long driveway accommodates multiple vehicles and includes an electric vehicle charging port for modern convenience.
This property features efficient gas heating and dual-zone central air conditioning for optimal comfort year-round.
Located just two blocks from the Jenkintown train station, this home offers easy access to Center City Philadelphia and the Philadelphia International Airport, making it a commuter’s dream. The award-winning Jenkintown School District, boutique shops, trendy restaurants, and the regional rail system are all within walking distance, further enhancing the incredible amenities this community has to offer.
