    What's special

    Six bedroomsDetached two-car garageHerb gardenRose gardenThoughtfully preserved detailsEnchanting gardensStone steps
    Featured on NBC's Today Show, HGTV, Philadelphia Magazine, and The Philadelphia Inquirer, this extraordinary 1915 estate residence combines thoughtful design, warmth, and functionality in a way that has garnered both local and national recognition. Evoking the charm of a Tuscan villa with its terra cotta roof, enchanting gardens, and meandering stone pathways, the home offers a rare blend of historic character. One of its most remarkable qualities is the way it embraces its setting, with garden views visible from nearly every room and outdoor spaces thoughtfully integrated into daily living. An arched solid wood front door welcomes you into a grand foyer and introduces a home rich in architectural character. Five fireplaces, beautiful millwork, and thoughtfully preserved details create a sense of timeless elegance throughout. The formal living room flows seamlessly into the stunning Mercer tile sunroom, where French doors open to the patios and gardens beyond, connecting the home to the landscape. One of the home's most distinctive spaces is the library, a dramatic room that currently serves as a whiskey lounge. Featuring extensive custom woodwork, dark designer finishes, a fireplace, built-in bookcases, and French doors opening to the grounds, this unforgettable space offers warmth, character, and an inviting place to gather. The formal dining room, featured as part of the home's nationally recognized renovation, opens directly to the gardens and outdoor living spaces. At the heart of the home is a beautifully designed gourmet kitchen created for gathering, entertaining, and everyday living. A spacious butler's pantry and mudroom provide both convenience and functionality while maintaining exceptional practicality. The second floor is home to a luxurious primary suite retreat. The suite includes a spa-inspired bath and an extraordinary custom dressing room with a center island, washer/dryer, and access to one of the home's most remarkable features—a fully copper-lined balcony overlooking the gardens and grounds. Private and unlike anything typically found in the area, this exceptional outdoor retreat offers a peaceful place to begin or end the day and a front-row seat to the moon rising over the property. Additional bedrooms and a hall bath complete this level. The third floor offers additional bedrooms, a full bath, generous storage, and the Philadelphia Magazine featured guest room. The finished lower level is designed for recreation, fitness, entertaining, and everyday convenience, featuring a game room, exercise room, utility and storage areas, and a refreshment center with butcher block countertops, cabinetry, a laundry center, under-counter freezer, and two-drawer refrigerator. The grounds are every bit as special as the home itself. Meandering patios, stone steps, winding garden paths, mature plantings, a rose garden, herb garden, a lane of columnar apple trees and espalier, potting shed, extensive landscape lighting, irrigation system, and multiple secluded sitting areas create a series of outdoor rooms designed for both quiet reflection and entertaining. A hammock retreat, honeysuckle-covered trellis, and thoughtfully placed gathering spaces invite exploration throughout the property. The fully fenced grounds enhance the estate-like setting. A piece of Jenkintown history, this home was featured in the original circa-1928 Jenkintown Manor development brochure. Remarkably, the stone column pictured in the brochure remains standing on the property today. The detached two-car garage includes two second-floor bonus rooms offering exceptional flexibility for a studio, workshop, or additional storage. With six bedrooms, three full baths, one half bath, nationally recognized design, and remarkable architectural character, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Abington Township's most distinctive homes—where history, craftsmanship, gardens, and thoughtful design create unforgettable living.
