8205 New Second St, Elkins Park, PA 19027

Reminiscent of a Poconos retreat, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath historic farmhouse is ideally located with a private, fenced-off yard. Updated but retaining the charm of the original structure, this home is unique in its floorplan. Enter into the doored-off entryway, which provides a welcome barrier to the outside elements, and then on to the bright and open living room featuring a large picture window and wood burning fireplace. Beyond the living room and first floor powder room, you'll find the completely updated eat-in kitchen with granite counter tops, stainless steel gas range and dishwasher, and rustic exposed beams. The two story eating area with exposed wood railings lend to the historical feel of this house. The large dining room is currently being utilized as a TV room and beyond the back staircase lies the family room, potentially a professional office, with a door to what used to be the front porch. The wrap around staircase off the kitchen leads to the second floor featuring a large main bedroom suite with in room washer / dryer, a full bathroom with a soaking tub, and a sliding glass door leading to a deck overlooking the yard. The second bedroom is also generously sized with a built in book shelf. The third bedroom and bonus room, also showcasing exposed beams, flank the back stairs and the second full bathroom. The full height basement could be finished for additional living space and includes another laundry hook-up. Outside the .38 acres have been lovingly maintained and feature a large patio for entertaining as well as plenty of driveway parking for guests. A two car garage with a generous loft space (22' x 23') above allow for innovation with the electricity already in place. Conveniently located near major shopping with easy access to highways and public transportation. Just a short distance to Elkins Park Elementary and Middle Schools.
