Listing description

Welcome to 1214 Bockius Avenue, a truly unique Abington home filled with character, history and spacious rooms. Originally built as Abington Township’s firehouse, the building was later moved to its current location and transformed into a charming single Colonial-style home offering 1,864 square feet of living space. Its history is still reflected in the home’s high ceilings, generous room sizes and distinctive character. An enclosed front porch with a coat closet welcomes you into the large entrance parlor, where an open staircase, high ceilings and ceiling fan create an impressive first impression. The spacious living room features wood floors and built-in bookshelf, while the oversized formal dining room offers wood floors and three large windows that fill the room with natural light. A full bathroom with a pedestal sink is conveniently located on the first floor. The kitchen features a gas range, microwave and recessed lighting, along with a separate breakfast room with a door leading to the rear deck. Outside, enjoy a level, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for entertaining, gardening or play, plus a large storage shed. Upstairs are four bedrooms and a full hall bathroom with a stall shower. The unfinished basement provides laundry and additional storage space and features new basement steps, an updated electrical system, gas heat and central air. Numerous improvements add to the appeal, including a gas heater replaced in March 2017, central air installed in 2021, Andersen windows and exterior doors installed throughout the home in 2021, as well as new gutters and downspouts. With its fascinating history, high ceilings, spacious rooms, wood floors and abundant character, 1214 Bockius Avenue offers an opportunity to own a home unlike any other in Abington.

School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
