**Previous buyer's financing fell through. It is now back on the market. Schedule a tour asap and see the potential.*** Step into history and imagine the possibilities at this turn-of-the-century gem in Elkins Park. Owned by the same family for nearly 50 years, this six-bedroom home is ready for you to return it to its glory. This home boasts a sprawling front porch, high ceilings, and hardwood floors throughout. The spacious living room retains much of its original 1905 charm, including the woodwork, built-in shelving and fireplace which has been updated to gas. The parlor/den is anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Enjoy meals in the large dining room which leads to the kitchen in the rear of the home. A powder room and separate shower complete the first floor. The second floor offers four generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom showcasing original tile work and a classic pedestal sink. On the third floor, you'll find two additional bedrooms and another full bath with a shower stall. The partially finished basement includes a workbench, half bath, laundry area, and Bilco doors leading to the backyard. An oversized two-car garage with a loft provides ample storage, and the shaded backyard offers a peaceful retreat. Located within walking distance of two train stations, you'll have quick access to Temple University, Center City, 30th Street Station and direct service to the airport. The home is also steps from the quaint Elkins Park business district where you'll find a coffee shop, bakeries, bookstore, bar, restaurants and more. Bring your vision and creativity and restore this timeless home to its full potential.
