627 Widener Rd, Elkins Park, PA 19027

OPEN HOUSE CANCELED FOR SATURDAY. Come discover this charming and spacious center hall Colonial, located on a quiet, sidewalk-lined side street. It's tucked away from everything, yet only 4-5 blocks away from the Elkins Park SEPTA station, shops & restaurants and several township parks. The welcoming front porch spans the entire width of the house, and is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee (in the shade!) and wave to your neighbors as they enjoy their morning stroll. Enter through the new front door into the center hall, and you'll begin to appreciate all the original details, like the gleaming hardwood floors and the arched French door at the rear of the hall. The front to back living room is anchored by the wood burning fireplace. The windows on three sides provides an abundance of light throughout the day. The spacious dining room has direct access to the "retro" kitchen (mid-century cabinets, upgraded backsplash & appliances). The kitchen is cozy, and will likely be modified by the next owner. It has direct access to both the side yard, and a small breakfast nook which connects to the living room. Rare in these older Colonials, it actually has a circular flow, which is great for entertaining. The master suite has a walk-in closet, and a completely modernized en-suite bathroom with vaulted ceiling, beautiful marble tiles and a large stall shower with a rain shower head. The hall bathroom has also been completely renovated with tasteful subway & hex tiles in keeping with the period of the home. There are 2 more bedrooms on the 2nd floor, one with built-in shelves and the other with a double closet. The 3rd floor has the 4th bedroom, and the 3rd renovated bathroom, plus a very cozy, yet functional office room. The laundry is in the mostly finished basement, which offers an abundance of storage space and direct access to the rear-entry driveway and 2 car garage (accessed via a private drive serving all the houses along this side of Widener Road). A multi-tiered paver patio occupies the majority of the rear yard, surrounded by a privacy hedge. It's a great place for evening meals and socializing on those "not so hot" Summer, Spring and Fall days! There is a large side yard for outdoor play or gardening. Part of the side yard has been enclosed with temporary fence for the dogs. The walkability from this home is fantastic. The Elkins Park regional rail station is a half mile away and can put you in center city in about 20 minutes. A number of restaurants, shops and parks (Wall Park, Ogontz field, High School Park and Curtis Arboretum) are also a short stroll away. Come discover Widener Road in the Chelten Hills neighborhood and all it has to offer.
