Welcome to your dream home in the heart of Elkins Park. This beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom Colonial offers luxurious living, perfectly blending modern updates with classic appeal. Through the front entryway you’ll find a spacious, warm and welcoming living room with a stone fireplace. An office with pocket doors connects the living and dining rooms and makes for a great workspace, but could also be used as a playroom, reading room, or flex space. The dining room is highlighted by a large 3-panel window with a storage bench below, and recessed shelving. Cork-backed luxury vinyl tile flows from the dining room which opens perfectly to the kitchen. A quartz counter peninsula provides plenty of casual seating in the kitchen and blends with the chef’s workspace, equipped with a 6-burner Thermador range and hood, Bosch refrigerator and Kitchen Aid dishwasher. The kitchen (New 2020) is both incredibly functional and stylish with a rustic subway backsplash tile, all stainless-steel appliances and an abundance of cabinet storage. A sliding glass door gives access to a private and maintenance-free Trex deck, ideal for alfresco dining or enjoying your morning coffee. A powder room is central to the main living level, off the kitchen and near the basement door. The bright and inviting family room, conveniently located off the kitchen and rear entryway, boasts a wall of built-in cabinets and shelving and makes the perfect spot for family gatherings or casual evenings. The rear entryway from the garage and backyard offers a thoughtfully designed mudroom addition with a skylight, storage bench, overhead cabinet space, ample coat storage, and built-in shelving. Upstairs you’ll find 4 sizable bedrooms, 2 en suite bathrooms, and a hall bathroom. The primary suite is a homeowner’s dream with a sitting area entryway and a custom outfitted walk-in closet. The primary bedroom features a tray ceiling and a en suite bathroom that is timelessly updated with a tiled walk in shower, heated floor and towel rack, granite double bowl vanity and skylight. The handsomely finished hall bathroom (Brand New Sept. 2024) is fully tiled with a walk-in shower and quartz-topped vanity. The third bathroom is en suite (Brand New Sept. 2024), and the product of a designer’s eye with a tiled walk in shower, soaking tub and quartz topped vanity. The basement is mostly finished with enough room to dedicate areas for both relaxation and exercise, or whatever else you may desire. The unfinished portion of the basement includes a large storage room and laundry room. Entry to the 2-car garage and driveway is made easy by a rear access road. Ideally located in a desirable and vibrant neighborhood of Elkins Park with walkability to a multitude of great restaurants, shops, library and parks. Effortless commuting with quick access to 611, 309, PA turnpike, and a short walk to the Elkins Park Septa Regional Rail station. Don’t miss your opportunity to make this your home!
