Have you ever longed for the old world charm of a vintage Victorian, yet want all the modern amenities of a newer home? You'll find the best of both worlds combined in this turn of the Century Victorian twin! Located on a picturesque street surrounded by other homes of a similar era, it's perfectly located in walking distance to the Wyncote/Jenkintown train station. This spacious Twin lives like a single family house, with nearly 2,000 SF of living space. Delightful details abound as you approach the home, from the gingerbread trim to the multi-colored cedar shake siding & the wrap around porch. Inside, the first floor is a wide-open plan with a large foyer, living room (with built-in bookshelves), dining room (with a pantry closet) & an updated kitchen that was recently opened to the dining room with a large breakfast bar. A powder room is tucked under the stairs. A covered porch & rear deck provide additional outdoor spaces for entertaining. The kitchen is beautiful, with quartzite counters, a herringbone marble backsplash, a farmhouse apron sink & all new S/S appliances. There is a skylight and a door to the side porch. The entire house has recently had new windows installed & the H/W floors were completely re-finished. The master bedroom was created from 2 rooms & now incorporates 2 closets & a distinct sitting/dressing room. The full bath on the 2nd floor was completely remodeled, yet retains the vintage charm of a clawfoot tub (with a shower). The 2nd bedroom overlooks the front yard & has a large closet. There are 2 more bedrooms on the 3rd floor (one has an entire wall of closets) and the 2nd full bath has a stall shower. The high efficiency HVA/C system (yes, the house has central A/C) was recently converted from oil to gas (lower utility bills!). The wiring was also upgraded & the property already has a radon remediation system. The full basement has ample headroom and provides great space for storage. The front yard was recently re-sodded & there are several additional areas for gardening in either the side yard or the terraced rear yard. It's really is the perfect blend of the old & the new, artfully retaining the original character. Enjoy sitting on your front porch and greeting the many neighbors that walk by on evening strolls or take a short walk to numerous parks in the area. You will love to call this home!
