1013 Melrose Ave, Melrose Park, PA 19027

Classic Victorian style home on beautiful Melrose Ave in Elkins Park. Front entry-enclosed porch with additional outdoor sitting porch for enjoying your morning coffee or early evening cocktail. This home offers a ground-floor master-bedroom (easily converted back, if desired, to the grand dining room of yesteryear) ground floor full bath. A breakfast room with back stairwell to 2nd floor offers a family-friendly gathering place for sharing meals and enjoying celebrations/conversation. The second floor offers a great degree of privacy for each bedroom, with a middle room that is well designed for an office or study. This property is legally zoned as a duplex and has a third floor apartment (2 bedrooms/1 bath kitchen and common area) that is currently leased July 31,2015 - July 30,2016 at $900p/m (sufficient to pay all taxes, both school and property). Should a family want to eventually house an "adult" family member, a nanny, or college student, this 3rd floor apartment offers the perfect opportunity for such "out-of -the-box" living situations. Third floor living quarters has private rear entry. There is ample on-street parking plus driveway parking for at least 3 vehicles. The yard is very private/spacious with more than sufficient terrain for those who love to garden. If you are looking for a home with a great "walk-score", within walking distance to trains/bus, food co-op,local reataurants and parks, in a community with great schools, libraries and cultural activities, this may be "the one"!
