214 Runnymede Ave

Jenkintown, PA 19046

Come tour this " Storybook" Tudor located in the heart of Jenkintown Borough! Built in 1926, this unique home comes from a time when details mattered, when quality workmanship was the standard and when pride was the driving force for each task. The amazing news is that the owners have not only preserved the original charm and character but they have also updated the home and enhanced it- so it fits the needs of today as well. Enter the home through the coolest restored front door and begin the tour. The main living room greets you first and this room is anchored by a corner fireplace with a wood-burning insert. The living room is open to the spacious dining room with a built-in corner cabinet and wainscotting. Off the dining room is an updated kitchen with electric cooking and quick access to both the basement and the rear patio and yard. On the main level you will also find a darling powder room and a very deep coat closet- both great for family and guests to use. Head upstairs and you will find 3 very generously-sized bedrooms. The Main bedroom has a walk-in closet, built-in desk and stair access to the walk-up attic (another storage bonus). The other two bedrooms also have great closets and are filled with natural light and the charm of the era the home was originally designed. There is also an updated full bathroom on the second floor which is centered on this level, for easy access from all 3 bedrooms. Head down to the basement where you will find a finished bonus room, currently set up as a playroom, but could be used in so many ways depending on your needs. The basement also has the laundry area, which is spacious enough for over-sized side by side units and no one has to see all the clothes you still need to fold when they come to visit-just close the door- and get to it when you can. The yard is amazing for a borough location- tons of sunshine if you are a gardner, a bright green lawn for outdoor sports and games, a paver patio for dining and even fencing and some mature trees to give you some privacy. The owners have replaced most of the windows in the home with energy efficient versions, but kept a few special ones that were just too charming to remove. Finally, the home has a one car garage, that is attached but does not have inside access- this is another great space for storage or to put a car on a snowy day- it is your choice of course on how best to use the added space. Living on Runnymede is incredibly convenient- Commuters have walking access to the local train station, and quick driving access to roads like 309, the PA Turnpike and Rt 73. "Uptown" is just around the corner offering shopping, dining, theatre, the Square and the public library, just to name a few goodies. Set up your appointment for the upcoming weekend- this is truly a wonderful home!
