Listing description

Enter a home where character, prime location, and exceptional curb appeal come together beautifully. This beautifully preserved 3,450-square-foot stone Colonial in historic Elkins Park offers timeless architectural character, spacious rooms, thoughtful updates, and exceptional livability. From the moment you enter the center foyer, the craftsmanship is evident. A dramatic full-story staircase window fills the space with natural light, while random-width hardwood floors, bottle-glass accent windows, colonial wrought-iron fixtures, original built-ins, deep window sills, and exquisite woodwork showcase the home's distinctive period character. The spacious living room is ideal for both entertaining and everyday living, featuring beautiful wainscoting and a striking floor-to-ceiling woodwork surround framing the wood-burning fireplace. An adjoining sitting room provides a quiet retreat and opens directly to a private, beautifully cultivated garden. The outdoor setting is truly special, with mature landscaping, flowering plants, colorful seasonal blooms, vegetable gardens, and newly planted trees creating a peaceful sense of privacy. The gardens offer wonderful space for gardening, entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the changing seasons. A slate patio off the kitchen, enclosed by a tall privacy fence, provides another inviting outdoor retreat. Across the foyer, the formal dining room offers generous space for gatherings. The large eat-in kitchen combines country charm with modern functionality and features new stainless-steel appliances, newer tile flooring, a marble-topped peninsula island, generous cabinetry, and abundant workspace. The kitchen opens directly to the enclosed slate patio. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers a welcoming retreat with its own wood-burning fireplace and renovated private bathroom with a freestanding shower and bath. Two additional spacious bedrooms share a renovated full Jack-and-Jill bathroom. A fourth bedroom, currently used as a home office, features impressive ceiling-to-floor built-in bookshelves. The fifth bedroom occupies a private wing with a separate staircase to the kitchen, making it an exceptional guest suite with a renovated full bathroom and walk-in closet. Throughout the home, renovated closets, hidden nooks, abundant storage, and generously proportioned rooms provide exceptional functionality while preserving the character of this historic residence. All bathrooms have been renovated with a thoughtful blend of modern convenience and vintage charm. The partially finished basement adds valuable recreational and living space and includes an additional room with a closet and bathroom, offering flexibility for guests, hobbies, recreation, or a private retreat. The remaining basement provides extensive storage and utility space. Above, a huge walk-up third-floor attic offers exceptional storage and exciting potential for future conversion to an office, studio, playroom, or additional living space. Additional improvements include fully replaced windows throughout, new garage doors, and a security system. With exceptional architectural details, multiple fireplaces, renovated bathrooms, abundant storage, private gardens, vegetable beds, an enclosed slate patio, and significant potential for future expansion, this distinctive stone Colonial offers the best of historic Elkins Park living with the comfort and updates today's homeowners desire—a home with history, character, gardens, and room to grow.

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.
