This is a wonderful Victorian single-family home located at the "Top of the Hill" and in the heart of Jenkintown with the "premium" of a driveway that can accommodate 2 cars (3 if they're small!). With one of the highest walk-scores around, everything is in easy distance to the house. Two blocks away you'll find all the shops & restaurants (including the Farmer's Market during the warmer months) and the HiWay theater. Just a few blocks in the other direction, you can walk to the Jenkintown school and just a 5 block walk to the Jenkintown SEPTA train station (with the best service to downtown Philadelphia via 3 train lines and direct service to the airport!). Approach the house, and there is a welcoming farmer's porch across the entire front. Elevated from the street, it's a great place to greet your neighbors and enjoy a morning coffee! Enter into the foyer & you will begin to appreciate the original details, from the hardwood floors, exposed brick in the lviing room, kitchen & 3rd floor bedroom to the lovely Victorian banister. The living room is huge and occupies the entire Eastern side of the first floor. A free-standing wood stove provides a great focal point tucked into the rear corner, perfect to warm up those colder Winter months! The formal dining room is tucked behind the entry hall & stairs (with a coat closet under the front stairs). The updated kitchen has ample storage solutions (including a great "elevated" pantry over the basement stairs!), dishwasher, self-cleaning oven (gas cook-top), built-in microwave & direct access to the rear deck for outdoor dining. The back yard is large for the Borough and mostly fenced. Large shade trees provide a perfect spot to hang a swing while there is plenty of full sun for vegetable gardens. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms on each floor, plus an office/study room on the 3rd floor with knotty pine paneling (a bit of nostalgic mountain decor!). The master suite has its own bathroom while the hall bathroom has been updated with a corner stall shower. There is a full basement for storage as well. The entire roof was replaced in 2009 with 30-year shingles while the H/W heater was replaced in 2012. There are replacement windows throughout. It's a great house in a great location!
