What's special
This gorgeous home in the sought after Noble section of Jenkintown is a must see! This stunner has great curb appeal and features Chestnut Hill stone and a front porch with covered entrance. The foyer with hardwood floors which are throughout most of the first floor welcomes you to the spacious living room. The living room has crown molding, recessed lighting and a beautiful stone fireplace flanked by French doors leading to the sunroom. The sunroom/den has a tile floor, wood ceiling, ceiling fan, gas hearthstone stove, stone wall and tons of windows with a great view of the yard. A beautiful archway leads to the formal dining room with chair rail and deep window sills. This room is wonderful for family dinners and holiday gatherings. The breakfast room offers space for more informal dining and a sunny spot for morning coffee. The quaint kitchen offers cabinet and counter space, large pantry closet and door to small mud room providing access to the side yard. A long hallway with built in closets/storage leads you to the first floor office with built in bookshelves. This room is tucked away making it a great spot for a home office! A powder room with built in vanity area completes the first floor. A pretty staircase leads to the second floor where you will find 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The primary bedroom suite is a generous size and has 2 closets, a large bath with tile flooring, stall shower and a huge walk in closet. There are three additional bedrooms (one is currently used as a walk-in closet/dressing room with custom closet system and additional bedroom closet) and could easily be converted back to a bedroom. Another bedroom has a walk in closet and a door to the second floor sun porch with a vaulted wood ceiling, built in bunk, desk and benches with storage. This room is so charming! The back bedroom has 4 windows allowing lots of natural light! The hall bath is large and has a tile floor and walls. There is a hall closet and a cedar closet providing even more closet space which is uncommon for an older house! There is a full basement with laundry, storage and lots of potential for finishing. The basement also has an outside exit which comes in handy. The oversized two car detached stone front garage was custom built by Opdyke and is a huge bonus! The corner lot offers privacy, mature plantings and an enormous level yard. This home has been meticulously maintained by the current owner. The home and location are spectacular-no need for a car if you live here! You are a few blocks from Noble and Jenkintown Train Station, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, parks, library, shopping, restaurants and more. HURRY!!!
