1 Latham Pkwy, Elkins Park, PA 19027

Located behind wrought iron gates, this private roadway was created just after the turn of the last century on lands that used to be owned by the famous 19th century Abolitionist & Quaker, Lucretia Mott. One Latham Park is the gateway property to this historic street, offering over 4,300 S.F. of gracious living space on 3 levels. Enter into a gracious center entry hall that is wider than most folks living rooms! A coat closet and the powder room are discreetly tucked under the stairs. The living room is the full depth of the house & a large fireplace anchors this room along with an angled bay window overlooking the front yard. The family room (once used as a Dr.'s office) is through a set of French doors from the living room. The dining room has the 2nd marble fireplace (both wood-burning) and another angled bay window. The symmetry of design is quite inviting! Through a small vestibule, one enters the updated kitchen with a large center island (with seating for 4 people), granite counters, tiled flooring, glass-tiled backsplash, double ovens, an abundance of cabinets and all the other necessary S/S appliances. A separate breakfast room is at the end of the rear wing with direct access to the rear covered porch and driveway. The laundry room was moved to the 1st floor at some time, and there is even a 2nd powder room tucked away at the back of the house. One can access the 2nd floor from either the rear staircase in the kitchen or the formal staircase in the center hall. Upstairs there are 6 large bedrooms, a storage room & even a heated sunroom (likely an original sleeping porch, now used as a home gym). The Owner's suite has a large sleeping chamber (27' x 14"), a nicely sized walk-in closet, a full en-suite bathroom (with 2 sinks and a stall shower) and an even larger walk-through closet that was converted from a former bedroom. The two remaining bedrooms on the 2nd floor share a Jack & Jill bathroom. On the 3rd floor are the remaining 3 bedrooms, one en-suite bathroom and another full hall bathroom. There is a full (un-finished) basement that provides an abundance of storage. Outside, there is a large flagstone patio tucked into the ell of the house that is surrounded by evergreens for privacy. The driveway can easily hold 6 cars and there is a large storage shed to hold all the lawn care equipment. It's a gracious property of understated elegance on a beautiful, private tree-lined street!
