8007 Cooke Rd, Elkins Park, PA 19027

This charming and lovingly maintained stone Tudor twin is situated on a quiet road named for Jay Cooke, a wealthy businessman who built a sprawling mansion nearby in 1867. The land his estate once encompassed is now one of Elkins Park's most unique and beautiful neighborhoods. A pair of Mountain Laurels stand in front of the home, providing privacy for those relaxing on the front porch. Once inside, you'll be impressed by the amount of natural light that streams through the door, its sidelights, the bay window in the living room and trio of windows in the dining area. Oak floors with classic inlays stretch across the main level. It's in the kitchen where the home's classic ambience blends with the modern. Some of the upgrades include espresso-toned cabinets, contrasting white quartz countertop, subway tiled-backsplash, apron front farmhouse stainless steel sink, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting and radiant tile floor heat. The current owners upgraded the kitchen with an eye on maximizing the amount of storage and food preparation space. A rear door in the kitchen to a compact shared deck. On the second level there are three nice-sized bedrooms and an updated bathroom with a jacuzzi tub/shower and radiant tile floor heating. There are exposed hardwood floors throughout the rest of the second floor and ceiling fans in each bedroom. On the third floor, you'll find a bonus room which could function as a TV room, home office, workout room or fourth bedroom. A door leads to a decent amount of storage space in the eaves. The lower level is currently unfinished and serves as extra storage space and the laundry area. There's also a one-car basement garage with rear access. A private alley behind the homes on this side of the street allows residents to access their homes. The home is within walking distance of the Elkins Park train station, several restaurants, shops, coffee shops, parks, ballfields and playgrounds. This adorable home will not last! 2021-05-10
