414 Westview Rd, Elkins Park, PA 19027

Come be delighted by this wonderful turn-of-the-century American Foursquare in the heart of Elkins Park! Located on a lightly traveled side street, this charming 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath home has tremendous curb appeal! Painted in a lovely cream stucco with a full-width front porch and an expansive deck overlooking the private rear yard, you'll fall in love with your new home the moment you park your car. Inside you'll be greeted by a spacious living room with a gas-burning fireplace, built-in bookcases, a window seat for gazing outside, beautiful pocket doors that lead you through to the dining room and original, inlaid hardwood floors. The dining room has a large bay window and a built-in corner cabinet. A half-wall allows for easy serving from the fully updated kitchen (renovated in 2009) with abundant cabinets, a large pantry closet and a sliding glass door to the rear deck and backyard. There is a built-in microwave, a 4-burner gas cooktop, dishwasher, fridge and large wall-mounted oven. One of the cabinets even provides a secret counter that provides additional prep space next to the sink! A wall-mounted mini-split A/C system in the dining room cools the entire first floor on warmer days. The laundry & powder room are discreetly located on the 1st floor behind a glass door. A coat closet is tucked under the main staircase. The basement is partially finished while ample storage is available in the former laundry area (that still retains the original slate sink!) as well as the former 1-car garage that was closed in when the deck out back was installed. A new boiler was installed in 2017 while the hot water heater was just replaced in 2020. A majority of the windows have been replaced with energy-efficient, double paned casement & double-hung units. On the 2nd floor, the entire front of the house is one large bedroom with another bay window and multiple closets. There is a hall bathroom with a tub-shower combination. The 2nd bedroom overlooks the side & rear yards, while the 3rd bedroom on the 2nd floor has a unique sleeping porch (heated) with a wall of casement windows. The owner's suite occupies the entire 3rd floor. There is an abundance of storage cubbies tucked into the roof eaves, two walk-in closets and two sets of built-in shelves/drawers that provide more than enough clothes storage. The en-suite bathroom has a stall shower and a clawfoot tub. Wonderful nooks & crannies abound throughout this charming home! A full pre-inspection has been completed on the property. With no through traffic, you feel like you're tucked away from the crowds, yet you can walk to the Elkins Park train station in just 10 minutes, the Elkins Park Library and several Township parks. It's an easy commute to multiple locations with the PA Turnpike accessible via Route 309 in just 15 minutes. Shopping and grocery stores, including Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are nearby. Come discover this fantastic community and make 414 Westview Road yours! 2020-08-16
