Elegant and stately yet relaxed and inviting best describe this vintage 3450 SF stone colonial located in historic Elkins Park. Entering the spacious center foyer you will immediately appreciate the unique architectural preservation in this 5 Bedroom, 3.5 Bath home, such as the traditional staircase with a full-story window at the landing filling the foyer with sunlight, bottle-glass accent windows above the front door, original random-width pegged hardwood floors, numerous large windows with deep sills providing an abundance of natural light, colonial wrought-iron fixtures, original built-ins, and impeccable woodwork throughout the home. Sink into comfort in the large living room, which features a wood-burning fireplace ensconced in stunning woodwork from floor-to-ceiling-truly a superior architectural touch! A smaller sitting room extends from the living room, with French doors leading out to a garden area. Opposite the living room you'll find the refined formal dining room that features lovely venetian doors. The large eat-in kitchen provides functionality while retaining country charm, and features stainless steel appliances, newer tile floor, a peninsula island with marble countertop, and an abundance of cabinet space. The back door leads to a well-shaded slate patio area, with tall privacy fence and shrubbery. The master bedroom boasts an additional wood-burning fireplace, making this bedroom as delightful as a ski weekend getaway. The master bedroom also has its own master bath with freestanding shower. Two other spacious bedrooms share access to an additional full "Jack and Jill" bath located in a connecting hallway. A fourth bedroom is perfect as a home-office, as it features built-in ceiling-to-floor bookshelves. The fifth bedroom is located in an isolated wing with its own stairway to the kitchen, perfect as a guest suite as it includes its own additional full bath with clawfoot tub and walk-in closet. The partially finished wood-paneled basement has a built-in bar and pool table, adding an additional 450 SF of recreation living space to this home for a total of over 3900 SF! The rest of the basement is unfinished, providing storage space and a workshop area. A huge walk-up attic on the third floor yields even more storage space (or easy conversion to an all-purpose room). New garage doors, many updated Pella windows, security system, and a newer roof make this home move-in ready and waiting for you to make it home!
