Listing description

Create Your Own Nancy Meyers Home in This Charming Elkins Park Cottage! Tucked away in a beautifully private setting, this enchanting Elkins Park cottage is a true secluded oasis where timeless character, thoughtful updates, and effortless indoor-outdoor living come together. Beautifully maintained by the current owners for more than 30 years, this exceptional home is filled with the kind of warmth, detail, and storybook charm that feels both sophisticated and wonderfully inviting. From the moment you enter beneath the covered portico, the character is unmistakable. The foyer opens to a convenient powder room and coat closet, while the center hall and beautifully turned staircase set the tone for the charm found throughout the home. Details include hand-hammered iron hardware, classic millwork, French doors, and abundant natural light. The paneled living room is a wonderful gathering space, featuring built-in bookcases, a handsome fireplace, and French doors opening directly to the expansive slate patio. The dining room also features French doors, creating an exceptional flow for entertaining and making the most of the beautiful outdoor setting. The updated kitchen combines style and function with granite countertops, tile backsplash, custom cabinetry, and newer Fisher & Paykel appliances. Just beyond, the attached breakfast room is anything but ordinary, offering a built-in bar area, under-counter ice machine, and convenient access to the backyard. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee or intimate dinner this space is sure to become a favorite. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom is filled with natural light and features a newer private bath. Two additional bedrooms offer generous closets and flexibility for family, guests, a home office, or creative space. One bedroom has been thoughtfully outfitted as a dressing room. A newer hall bath features attractive tile, a stall shower, and seamless glass doors. The unfinished basement offers exciting possibilities, with a large open room and its own wood-burning fireplace. Imagine creating a cozy family room, game room, home gym, bar, playroom, or the ultimate retreat—the possibilities are limited only by your imagination. Outside, the magic continues. The expansive slate patio stretches nearly the entire length of the home and provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining, relaxing, and entertaining. Beyond, the generously sized fenced yard is a private sanctuary, beautifully enhanced by professional landscaping, mature plantings, lovely hardscaping, and a stunning in-ground pool. It is equally suited to a quiet afternoon at home or entertaining on a grand scale. Numerous updates add to the home's appeal, including a newer HVAC system divided into two separate zones and replacement windows by Andersen and Marvin. Throughout the property, the exceptional care and pride of ownership are immediately apparent. This is more than a house, it is a special home with an unmistakable sense of place. Create your own Nancy Meyers-inspired retreat, where beautiful details, comfortable living, gracious entertaining, and a private outdoor sanctuary come together in one magnificent Elkins Park property.

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. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Montgomery County before relying on it.

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.
