Property Description
You will think you are in the woods when you approach this home. This charming home greets you with a warm foyer entrance and flows into spacious living and dining areas with newer hardwood floors. The inviting living room features a fireplace, perfect for gatherings, while the sunroom-with its skylights, separate heat/AC unit, and breathtaking views-offers a serene backdrop of the yard, garden, and frequent visits from deer and other wildlife. The family room is a showstopper, boasting cathedral ceilings accented with rustic wood beams. A private library, complete with hardwood floors and built-in bookcases, provides a quiet space for work or reading, and opens to a large patio ideal for entertaining. The unique hot tub room overlooks the yard, creating a spa-like retreat in your own home. The updated kitchen is designed for both style and function, featuring quartz countertops, ample cabinetry, a built-in microwave, stainless steel appliances-including a gas range and refrigerator-and a modern layout that makes cooking a joy. An added convenience is the electric car charging unit, making this home as practical as it is beautiful. Buyer will receive a 1-year home warranty through American Home Shield Plus, included with purchase for added peace of mind. This Elkins Park gem combines comfort, character, and natural beauty in one remarkable property. It is certainly one of kind with the wooden lot and you will never believe you are minutes from civilization.
