Welcome to 539 Abington Avenue — Where Storybook Charm Meets Modern Ease “Home Sweet Home” has never rung more true than at this enchanting Glenside Gardens gem. With its timeless brick Dutch Colonial façade, classic slate roof, and newly added metal front porch roof, this home feels as if it stepped right out of a fairytale — and into your future. Tucked away on a tree-lined street in one of the area’s most beloved neighborhoods, this home offers the perfect blend of character and convenience. Imagine morning strolls to Keswick Village for coffee, an easy walk to nearby schools, low taxes, and a yard that invites both quiet moments and weekend gatherings. Step inside to a cheerful center hall entry, featuring a tiled floor, a hall closet, and a staircase that sets the tone for the beauty that unfolds beyond. To your left, a gracious living room welcomes you with warm oak hardwood floors adorned with mahogany inlays, a cozy gas fireplace, and twin French doors that open to the inviting front porch — perfect for a post-work unwind or weekend wine with friends. The kitchen is as practical as it is charming, with ample cabinetry, generous counter space, and a large window that brings in natural light and backyard views. The adjacent dining room flexes beautifully between formal dinners and casual brunches, with sliding glass doors leading to a meticulously crafted, low-maintenance deck that extends your living space outdoors — ideal for hosting or relaxing. Upstairs, what was once a three-bedroom layout has been smartly reimagined into two oversized bedrooms with abundant closet space and a spacious hall bathroom (unusually large for a home of this vintage). If needed, the original three-bedroom layout could easily be restored. Outside, a freshly landscaped yard offers both beauty and privacy. A detached garage with a newer roof adds convenience for storage or parking. Downstairs, the full basement — already waterproofed and featuring high ceilings — is a blank canvas awaiting your vision. It includes laundry, a newer hot water heater, a brand-new heater (2024), upgraded 200-amp electric service, a newer sewer line (2020), and some plumbing in place for a future bathroom. Other upgrades include new windows, fresh interior paint throughout, refinished hardwood flooring, new engineered flooring upstairs, gutter guards, and of course, the stunning back deck addition. 539 Abington Avenue is more than just a house — it’s a lifestyle. Well-loved, thoughtfully upgraded, and perfectly located, this home is ready to capture hearts… but don’t wait too long. Schedule your showing today and step into your next chapter
