Description
Welcome to Elkins Park, Montgomery County's stately community known for accessibility, character and charm.
Nestled on almost a quarter acre of lovely, landscaped grounds, this impeccably maintained home exudes exquisite craftsmanship and stunning detail. Curb appeal begins at the door with this storybook Tudor featuring a steep, gabled roof, elaborate stone and stucco work, decorative half-timbered details and colorful flower boxes. Beautiful perennial gardens surrounding the inlaid slate walkway are a fitting invitation and once inside, a welcoming center hall anchors the sunny living room with the formal dining room. Quartersawn oak hardwood floors and a grand stone wood-burning fireplace flanked with built-in bookshelves add elegance to the living room and a chair rail, crown molding and a deep bay window add charm and warmth to the dining room. A glass door from the living room leads to a breezy screened-in porch with a shiplap ceiling and ceiling fan, inviting the outside in. The newly remodeled kitchen is outfitted with recessed lighting, two-toned painted cabinets, a classic subway tile backsplash, a double sink, stainless steel appliances and butcher block countertops. Upstairs find four spacious bedrooms, including a Master Suite with en-suite bath and a spa-like hall bath with subway tile and a farmhouse sink. A cedar hall closet and laundry round out the second floor. The semi-finished basement is warm and cozy and perfect for curling up with a book or having guests over for a football game. It boasts recessed lighting and a reclaimed wood pallet wall hiding additional storage. The home also features a new high efficiency heater and a water softener system. A walkway accessed from the kitchen leads to the spacious garage and to the flagstone patio, perfect for grilling and dining al fresco. The yard is wonderfully landscaped and a canopy of mature trees and colorful plantings provide peaceful relaxation and comfort. Elkins Park and the surrounding area is known for its quaint business community and is within close proximity to the regional rail, libraries, shopping, restaurants and entertainment. Spend the day picnicking in High School Park, enjoy shopping at the Farmer's Market, grabbing a pizza from Trio's followed by ice cream at Sprinkles Ice Cream Shoppe or Goat House Creamery and browsing independently-owned shops throughout the area. If you are looking for a distinctive home loaded with original detail and character, look no further.
