Property Description
Open House Sunday, April 26 from 1-3pm (Saturday open house canceled) Charming 1935 Tudor set on an elevated corner lot in one of Elkins Park's most desirable neighborhoods, offering open views, added privacy, and no immediate neighboring home on one side. This classic stone home features a new roof and meticulously restored exterior wood trim. The covered front porch with swing welcomes you inside to a bright and inviting layout with beautiful original oak floors --not laminate or vinyl -- throughout the main level and abundant natural light. The living and dining spaces flow easily, offering both comfort and functionality. The kitchen is clean and well-maintained with updated appliances. Upstairs, you'll find three good-sized bedrooms and a full bath, with original hardwood floors also present beneath the carpeting on the second floor. Updates include central air, new roof (2025), exterior wood trim restored (2023), new gutters (2023) new electrical panel (2022), water heater (2023). Basement is clean, provides ample storage and can be finished for additional living space. Outdoor living is a highlight, with an elevated composite deck overlooking a spacious backyard with mature landscaping filled with breathtaking colorful flowers, plus a detached two-car garage and private driveway for added convenience. Ideally located just minutes from the Elkins Park train station for easy access to Center City, and close to local shops, restaurants, and multiple parks including High School Park and Curtis Arboretum. A rare opportunity to own a classic home with character, space, and a truly special setting. Garage is being sold as-is.
