    What's special

    Four wood-burning fireplacesLush groundsSpectacular in-ground poolFilled with characterPrivate tennis courtDetached two-car garageBeautiful golf-course views
    A rare opportunity to own a distinctive 5,200-square-foot residence on 1.7 lush acres, offering 7 bedrooms, 4 full and two half baths, a spectacular in-ground pool, private tennis court and remarkable views of Huntingdon Valley Country Club. This beautiful seven-bedroom home is filled with character, gracious living spaces and exceptional amenities. Its kitchens and bathrooms reflect a more traditional style, offering the next owner an exciting opportunity to personalize the home over time. A marble-floored entry opens to an interior featuring hardwood floors, detailed millwork, deep window sills and four wood-burning fireplaces. All four fireplaces were recently serviced, and the living-room fireplace has a new liner. The main level includes formal living and dining rooms, a spacious family room with built-ins and wet bar, a large eat-in kitchen with center island and butler’s pantry, and a private office with its own half bath and backyard entrance. The primary suite features a sitting room with fireplace, abundant closet space, a private bath and two Juliet balconies overlooking the golf course. The third floor offers four additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms, one of which is not currently in use. The outdoor setting is a true highlight. The impressive Sylvan in-ground pool, (45ftX25ft), features a 12-foot-deep end, slide and diving board, surrounded by an expansive patio, lush grounds and beautiful golf-course views. A private tennis court has a well-maintained surface and brand-new net. Above the detached two-car garage is a complete one-bedroom apartment with a kitchen, living room, wood-burning fireplace and separate two-year-old water heater. The roofs over both the main residence and garage apartment were replaced approximately five years ago with a GAF roofing system installed by J&S Roofing and 30-year shingles. Additional improvements include a new oil-furnace blower motor. The on-site septic system has been professionally managed by Delaware Valley Septic & Storm. Private and set well back from the road, this special property offers remarkable space, architectural character and resort-style amenities. Award winning Abington Schools, with easy access to Abington Hospital, all major roads, train, shopping and restaurants. It is an outstanding opportunity to personalize a beautiful home and create something truly exceptional. Seller has contacted a property tax reduction service which estimates a potential property tax savings of over $4,000 for 2028. Any reduction is subject to approval and not guaranteed.
