This handsome cottage with new local slate and gleaming random-width hardwood floors throughout is timeless, elegant and inviting.

The owners have done extensive renovations that match and enhance the home's character. In the eat-in kitchen Shaker style cabinets with their glass knobs and stainless pulls, black and grey granite countertops, and timeless subway tile backsplash are accented by the charcoal grey slate floor, stainless steel appliances and wainscotting. The hallway leads you to three spacious bedrooms, one with a bay window, each with large closets. The hall bathroom showcases the home's recurring themes: slate floors, wainscoting, carrara marble subway tile shower, oversized soaking tub, a hidden cabinet, and modern vanity with marble top, all accented with custom chrome light fixtures.The master bedroom suite with it's own patio, has a lovely view of the gardens visible through sliding glass doors and it's fully remodeled en suite bathroom with stall shower, slate floors, wainscoting, custom vanity and storage fixtures. More space? The lower level is raw space offering high, wood beam ceilings and a wood burning stove. With its numerous windows and doors and Southern exposure, it too is flooded with sunlight at varying times of the day and year. This 'found' space could be an artist studio, or grand family room. Plumbing is already installed for a full bath and shower, and bar/mini-kitchen. There is a laundry already in place. The three original arched carriage door openings, two upstairs, one downstairs, were once access for the horses and carriages, then limousines that served the Green Acres Estate before it was subdivided in the 1950's. All this and close to shopping, Jenkintown train station, and 309. Don't let this one-of-a-kind home slip away. Make your appointment today! 2018-07-28
