Situated on a large tree-lined corner lot in a vibrant and diverse neighborhood full of historic charm, this immaculately maintained Old Wyncote colonial is the perfect mix of historic and modern. Situated within the highly-regarded Cheltenham School District, this is a true commuter~s dream ~ the Jenkintown/Wyncote SEPTA Regional Rail station hub is a three-minute walk away with its four lines of direct service to Center City Philadelphia, Philadelphia International Airport & Temple University. Charming original details throughout, the interior contains hardwood floors, beautiful millwork, thick stone walls, deep window sills, custom plantation shutters and a fireplace. Enter through a large three-season porch, the entry foyer welcomes you with loads of light and a beautiful original staircase. Perfect for entertaining, a large living and dining area offer myriad uses and layouts while the kitchen opens to a spacious covered three-season deck overlooking the private back yard, and bringing the outdoors in. In the kitchen you will find stainless steel appliances, slate floors, soapstone counters, antique hand-pressed tin ceiling and radiant-floor heating. Three large bedrooms, a nursery/office and full bath with antique claw-foot tub make up the second floor, while the third includes a master suite offering a sitting area/work-at-home space, walk-in closet and full bath. The finished basement, with half-bath, makes a perfect family, exercise or play room and is equipped with a home theater system, while a separate laundry, utility and workshop space completes the basement space. Despite being steps away from public transportation, a coffee shop and restaurant, the fully-fenced yard is a private oasis flanked by mature trees, landscaping and vegetation ~ ideal for youngsters and for pets to run free. The three-tier deck and separate flagstone patio are made for evening family gatherings, S~mores around the fire pit and outdoor movies. A one-car detached garage with full attic and full basement has abundant storage and multiple uses. The paved driveway provides three additional off-street parking spaces. Updated high-efficiency central A/C and natural gas forced-air furnace provide heating and cooling, inexpensively and green. Perhaps most significant, in March 2020 the house/garage roof was replaced and upgraded with Timberline high definition architectural shingles complete with 50-year warranty. Community parks, playgrounds and greenspace are all within a short walk. Jenkintown and Glenside, and their many restaurants, brewpubs, cafes and other amenities are also within walking distance. By car, area major roadways ~ routes 611, 309, 73, 152 and the PA Turnpike 276 and 476 ~ are minutes away. For history buffs, poet Ezra Pound, who grew up in the neighborhood, attended grade school in the house while the nearby former Wyncote Elementary school was being built in the late 1800~s. For sports fans, rumor has it that Reggie Jackson spent his childhood in a house across the street.
