718 Carmet Rd, Jenkintown, PA 19046

Showings begin Saturday (4/15) and Open House Sat & Sun (4/15 & 4/16). Welcome home to 718 Carmet Rd, a stately 4-bedroom brick colonial nestled in the Crosswicks neighborhood of Jenkintown. As you drive through the neighborhood, you will appreciate the tree-lined street and all the beautiful mature landscaping found outside. Pull into the oversized driveway that leads up to the two car garage. This home has been lovingly maintained and beautifully upgraded inside and out throughout the years, making it move-in ready. Step inside the main entry foyer where you will find hardwood flooring, recessed lighting and direct views of the formal dining room and living room. The dining room features chair-rail, a large bay window that allows natural light to stream inside and a corner built-in to showcase your favorite dishware. After dinner stroll across the hall to the living room where you will find a second bay window and a wood-burning fireplace to gather around on cold nights. Continue down the hall into the spacious kitchen, which has received plenty of upgrades over the years. The homeowners carefully planned out the kitchen reno to provide maximum functionality with features such as a floor-to-ceiling pantry and a peninsula shaped two-tier bar for additional seating (also the ideal spot to use as the ‘snack hub’ while entertaining). Recessed lighting lines the room providing all the light you need while prepping a meal. For even more ease of entertaining, the wall above the sink was cut out to provide views of the great room. To keep all your loose papers in order, a built-in desk area was added to match the rest of the kitchen. If desired, this space could be transformed into a wine or coffee bar. The powder room (updated when the kitchen was) is nicely tucked away for easy access while entertaining. GE s.s. appliances were installed in 2016 and include a double wall oven, 36” gas cooktop, and vent hood. The refrigerator was installed in 2020 and the microwave in 2022! There is also a dishwasher that sits right beside the sink. Get ready to enjoy the magnificent great room that was added in ’93. The space features vaulted ceilings & is surrounded by windows, including two skylights, which just flood the room with sunlight. Glass patio doors in the great room lead outside to the large rear deck. Throw down an outdoor rug, add your favorite patio furniture and some potted plants to enjoy your outdoor oasis all summer long. A built-in grill with a gas line makes outdoor entertaining a breeze! Finishing up the main level of the home is the conveniently placed laundry/mudroom with direct access outside. Features in a newer washer & dryer (2017), a utility sink (added in 2015) and cabinetry/shelving for additional storage. After a tiring day, ascend the stairs to the beautiful primary suite featuring plush carpeting, recessed lighting, three windows and a ceiling fan. The primary bath features an oversized vanity, and a glass walk-in shower. The three additional bedrooms, all with large closets, share the hallway bath (updated in 2015). One of the three bedrooms was mostly recently used as a home office and include nice built-ins. Not only has this home been cosmetically updated, but the major mechanicals have all been updated as well! All new energy saving windows in 2008 (transferable warranty), fiberglass loose fill insulation in the attic in 2010, roof in 2011, water heater in 2014, ADT alarm updated in 2015, sump pump in 2017, all new windows throughout in 2018, ICP heater and air conditioner (with full warranty through 2051) was installed just in 2021! For even more homeowner ease, a portable dehumidifier was added in 2021 and the house does come with a Generac Generator (gas run) in case of emergencies. Enjoy the peace and quiet of neighborhood living while being mere minutes away from Abington schools and downtown Jenkintown. Why wait? If you are looking for a beautiful brick colonial, this is a must see!
