Property Description
Welcome home to 540 Wanamaker Road, a charming stone-front home tucked along a quiet residential street in Jenkintown, offering classic character, a thoughtful layout, impressive lower-level flexibility, an attached garage, solar power, and a location that keeps so much of the Philadelphia region within easy reach. The home's handsome stone facade, oversized front bay window, and landscaped entry create immediate curb appeal. Inside, hardwood floors carry through the main living areas, where the living room, dining area, and kitchen offer a comfortable, connected flow that works equally well for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features abundant wood cabinetry, generous counter space, recessed lighting, a full appliance package, and a convenient breakfast bar/peninsula that keeps the kitchen connected to the surrounding living spaces while providing additional workspace and storage. The home offers three bedrooms and two full bathrooms on the main level, including a private primary bath. Hardwood flooring continues through the bedrooms, while multiple windows bring natural light into nearly every corner of the home. But don't stop upstairs the lower level is where this home really expands. The substantial finished recreation area provides exceptional flexibility for a media room, gym, playroom, hobby area, or second gathering space. An additional finished area offers excellent potential as a guest room or home office, with nearby closet space and a convenient half bath. This level also includes a separate laundry and utility area, direct access to the attached garage, and a grade-level exterior exit through the adjoining laundry area. A thoughtfully configured split door at the stairway provides a convenient barrier for pets or little ones, adding another practical touch to the home's design. Altogether, the lower level allows the property to function far beyond its above-grade square footage. The home also benefits from a number of meaningful improvements, including a roof replaced in 2022, replacement windows, updated exterior doors, a newer driveway, storage shed, and water-softening system. The property is also partially solar powered, and the seller will pay off the existing solar financing at settlement, allowing the next owner to enjoy the potential energy savings without assuming the seller's solar loan. Outside, you'll find usable green space, a storage shed, and another feature that gives this setting its own personality: Tookany Creek is just feet from the end of the driveway, offering an unexpected touch of nature where ducks frequently visit and an occasional crane can be spotted along the water. Parking is equally convenient with an attached rear-entry garage and private driveway, providing valuable off-street parking and additional storage. The location brings everything together. Enjoy easy access to Baederwood Park, Whole Foods Market, local restaurants, shopping, and the everyday conveniences of Jenkintown, Abington, and Willow Grove. Nearby Regional Rail provides an attractive commuting option into Philadelphia, while access to I-476/Blue Route and other major regional routes makes travel toward Center City Philadelphia, King of Prussia, and New Jersey convenient as well. And for additional peace of mind, a one-year home warranty will be provided to the buyer at settlement. All there is to know is: How will YOU make this wonderful home YOURS?
