About this home

Welcome to Norah’s Nook! Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined one-way street, 7719 Union Avenue in Elkins Park feels like the kind of home pulled from the pages of a storybook- timeless, enchanting, and impossibly charming. Built in 1890 and lovingly cared for by the same family for decades, this Victorian beauty is rich with warmth, character, and whispers of another era. From the welcoming front porch, perfect for morning coffee beneath the trees, to the lush gardens blooming beyond nearly every window, the home feels wrapped in nature. Step inside the foyer, where brick flooring and original character immediately set the tone. Sunlight pours through the spacious living and family rooms, each offering tranquil garden views and inviting spaces for gathering. The dining room offers access to the basement offering laundry and plenty of room for storage. The kitchen blends old-world charm with thoughtful updates, featuring butcher block counters, brand-new granite countertops, and a convenient pass-through window to the dining room. Just beyond, the backyard entertaining space is surrounded by lush garden views, creating the perfect retreat for quiet evenings or lively conversation. Upstairs, the second floor offers three generously sized bedrooms and a full bath, each space filled with delightful architectural details and timeless personality. Continue to the third floor where two additional bedrooms await with whimsical, character-filled spaces tucked beneath the roofline, including one with its own ensuite bath. Outside, the fairytale continues. The expansive fenced backyard is home to mature peonies, rose bushes, and a detached two car garage. With a brand-new roof installed in 2025 and decades of meticulous stewardship, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly magical Victorian home. Norah’s Nook is just moments from local shops, cafes, parks, and neighborhood favorites, while also offering exceptional convenience for commuters. Nearby SEPTA Regional Rail stations provide easy access to Center City, and local bus routes make getting around effortless. The property is a two minute walk from highly regarded Myers Elementary. You will also enjoy being so close to all of the community offerings of Cheltenham Township and Elkins Park such as Arts in the Park at High School Park where community, art, music, food and fun are celebrated! Truly a magical neighborhood and home that cannot be ignored.
