Property Description
A bold new future awaits in leafy, elegantly understated Elkins Park! Welcome to unrivaled craftsmanship, expert design, and impeccable taste- all combined with today's high standards for quality living. Stunning transformational additions, renovations, and restorations throughout include: an expansive new lower level 'compound of recreation,' with two stone mantle focal points, slate tiled and carpeted living and hospitality areas, and a new full Bath. Seamlessly ascend the grand open Oak Staircase to the architecturally enhanced, State-of-the-Art Chef's Kitchen w/ full compliment of Thermador appliances- and now completed by its new Service Wing with Mudroom, Laundry Room and Powder Room. "Brand new" marries beautifully with "gracious and classic," as you step into the airy and expansive showcase Dining and Living spaces of yesteryear, grounded by beautiful honey-hued 'old growth' restored hardwood floors with Mahogany inlay. Through French Doors, a sophisticated Sunroom beckons with views of the newly reclaimed double-wide lot now graced with sweeping lawns, heirloom landscaping, and a well-pruned canopy of trees- still leaving plenty of space for sunshine and gardening! Stunning entrances surround home with playful Modern accents, new steel doors and well-constructed decking perched over Blue Stone Patio in rear; OR heed the stately invitation to enter from the handsomely reconstructed columned, covered Front Porch, and greeted by the grand and restored, original transomed Oak Doors. Walk through the Mercer-tiled Foyer into a Center Hall crowned by original Moorish Chandelier, with walls accented by tasteful decorative molding. 3.5 brand new designer Baths, plus one gorgeously restored original Bath with its timeless soft-crackled subway tiles and artful flooring- all fantastically serve the 4 floors. Master En Suite Bedroom is just lovely, with adjacent Sitting Room/ Dressing Room, Office, and additional Bedrooms galore on 2nd and 3rd floors- give many options to use each space as desired. New Roofs & Gutters on both Home and 2 Car Garage; new High-Efficiency Heating and Water Systems; new HVAC Splits; new 220 Electric Service; whole house Insulation; new Red Oak Hardwood flooring in new Kitchen Wing and Sunroom; freshly painted inside and out...The "Wow's!" continue, as via the two staircases- you graciously 'wind and wend' throughout this truly welcoming '1910 finely-crafted Home meets well-curated Modern Luxe Living.' Walk to Melrose Park or to Elkins Park Train Station- just 4 stops to Center City! Amazing nearby dining & shopping: Farmers Markets, Trader Joe's, Wholefoods, restored 'old town' Movie Theatre... As a matter of great interest to the Region: 'LandMark Development' has just acquired the nearby "Elkins Estate" for a gated 5 Star Boutique Hotel/ Dining/ Public Gardens experience- also bringing fantastic additional Tax revenue and Historic Preservation focus to this stunning inner suburb of Philadelphia. Now is a wonderful time to move to 19027!
