Showings begin June 3. Introducing this beautifully and lovingly maintained English Cottage in the heart of Elkins Park. Walking along this block, you feel as if you've been transported into an old English village, with charming, century-old stone row homes lining both sides of the street. Besides the character of this home, you can't beat the convenience --one block from the SEPTA regional rail station (puts you in center city in 20 minutes), and steps from a number of shops and restaurants, including the popular new community hotspot Creekside Market & Tap. As you walk into the home, you step into the spacious foyer with sizable coat closet to the left. This ground level consists of a den or home office, laundry room, powder room and utility space. Take the stairs to the second level where you'll find the main living area. You'll love how the wide bank of windows in the front of the home flood the whole space with natural light. The incredibly maintained original oak floors look like they're brand new. The kitchen is nicely appointed with natural Birch kitchen cabinets, glass tile backsplash, new refrigerator, gas range, dishwasher and a convenient pass-through into the dining room which makes serving meals a breeze. A door from the kitchen leads to the lovely deck that has a convenient built-in gas line for your grill. No more lugging propane tanks home. The third level has three bedrooms and an updated full bathroom with tub/shower combo. Built-in custom wooden stair gates on both the second and third level are great for young children and pets.Outside, there is an attached shed for storage and a private parking space under the deck. The front garden/yard has been carefully manicured and maintained.This home has been so well cared for; there is nothing you have to do but unpack. Sellers are requesting a mid-September settlement. Please don't submit buyer love letters to seller.
