Here is your opportunity to own a piece of history in Elkins Park! What was once the home to the creator of the famous opera, Madam Butterfly, could now be YOURS! Welcome yourself with an open mind to polish out some of the final cosmetic touches and bring the history back to life with a little TLC! Take a step back in time to 1880 when the home was originally built. The property immediately presents landscaping and an enormous wrap-around porch! Upon entering through the front door, you are welcomed by the grand foyer including a wide curved staircase with meticulous woodwork. The spacious living room is home to the first of two natural-gas fireplaces creating the ultimate cozy living room and pocket doors from the foyer and dinning room. The dinning room is awaiting a new large dinning table to host family gatherings and meals and the kitchen is where the magic happens with adequate counter top space, a central sink and a full 30" gas range with oven and storage drawer. From the first floor, you have the option of two staircases to access the second floor. One curved staircase in the foyer and a maids stair case in the rear off the kitchen. The second floor hosts three out of the five bedrooms. All bedrooms offer tremendous space with the primary bedroom hosting the second natural-gas fireplace complimenting the opportunity to make it the coziest of all the bedrooms! The second floor bedrooms share the full, huge bathroom with a whirlpool tub and stand-in shower paired with a steamer for an awesome sauna. The third floor presents the remaining two bedrooms, each with comfortable space. The third-floor bedroom facing the front of the home was most recently used as an office and offers a stunning view overlooking the property and soaking in ample natural sunlight! And, not to mention the large full basement for storage with a natural-gas furnace and water heater. To top off the historical nature of the property, in the backyard is the original outbuilding and recently added shed. This property was home to a beautiful family for many years. It is now awaiting its new loving family with an open mind to tackle the TLC. Don't sleep on it and schedule your tour now!
