This classic stone and masonry home makes a lovely first impression, beginning with a welcoming walkway that leads to a spacious covered front porch. The inviting foyer features in-laid hardwood flooring that extends throughout most of the first floor and has built-in shelving bookshelves creating an ideal space for greeting guests or relaxing with a book. A beautiful staircase highlights the foyer, with a neatly tucked-away powder room positioned underneath. Nearby, the generous living room includes recessed lighting, a rare find for a property of this era. The formal dining room provides an exceptional setting for holiday dinners, featuring a curved wall with three individual windows that flood the space with natural light. Adjacent to the dining room, a butler's pantry retains original cabinetry alongside modern additions, offering seamless flow for entertaining. The spacious kitchen features stainless steel appliances and ample light, sharing a wall with a large mudroom and laundry area that offers excellent potential for future expansion. A secondary set of back stairs also provides access from this area to the second floor. The staircase off the foyer leads to a mid-level landing highlighted by a beautiful Palladian window before reaching the second floor. This level features four spacious bedrooms and a beautifully appointed hall bathroom. The primary bedroom boasts large windows for abundant natural light, with the main hallway bath located just steps away. This bathroom features marble radiant heated flooring, a large stall shower with marble tile, and a marble vanity. The second bedroom offers custom curved built-ins, while the third and fourth bedrooms provide generous proportions and ample closet space. Continuing to the third floor, you will find two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and an office. The largest bedroom on this level spans the entire width of the house and currently serves as a workspace. The ensuite bedroom is utilized as an exercise room and includes an updated bath with radiant heated tile floors, tiled walls, and a standalone claw foot tub. The adjacent office is currently unheated but remains comfortable, and any of these third-floor spaces could easily transition into a secondary family room. The unfinished basement is meticulously clean and well-maintained, housing completely updated mechanical systems and a Bilco door for convenient outdoor access. The outdoor space features professionally landscaped grounds that create a quiet retreat. The expansive backyard offers plenty of room for recreation, hosting outdoor gatherings, or installing play equipment. A small, covered porch off the mudroom overlooks this deep yard. Situated on one of the most desirable streets in the Jenkintown Borough, the property is within easy walking distance of the Jenkintown Train Station, schools, the Highway movie theater, dining, and parks. The home is also conveniently located within the highly regarded Jenkintown School District. The current owners have lovingly maintained this gorgeous home for over 30 years which is evident after you tour.
