This thoughtfully upgraded and exceptionally maintained home, originally built for one of John Wanamaker's family members over a century ago, features many architectural details from that era throughout the home. This stately 3 story colonial sits in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Abington School District and is conveniently located within walking distance to shops, restaurants and train stations. The front door opens to a vestibule with wainscoting and a glass paned door welcoming you into the expansive center foyer featuring the wide grand staircase to the upper floors. The main level, with hardwood floors, contains the living room with custom built-in shelving and a wood burning fireplace. A wonderful 3 season patio, complete with 2 ceiling fans spans the width of the home. The formal dining room, open to the kitchen, boasts a span of windows topped by a semi-circle window of original bubble gum stained glass.
